About ...
Jazz-chan is one of two kittens born at the shelter to a TNR cat from our Hakata-station TNR project.
Jazz-chan ears are completely black. Also shown in the video is sister Melody-chan who has little white tufts of hair in her ears,
Volunteer's report
Jazz is the big sister: she was quite quick to get used to me, and started coming to me on her own. She's independent, curious, an attention seeker and strong willed, and doesn't get scared much. She gets jealous of her sister sometimes and throws het off the bed. But she shares her food with her kindly, plays with her, and in the morning I find them sleeping together on the bed beside me. She eats very slow, both wet and dry food. She comes to me for cuddles a lot, sometimes even waking me up in the middle of the night for cuddles.

Click here to see 11 good reasons to adopt a cat from CATNIP!
- 1: Convenience
- We will bring up to 3 cats to you in your home at a time convenient to you, including weekends, public holidays and evenings.
This lets you see the cat or cats before you decide to start a trial.
You don't have to select any of them - and we will give you plenty of time to get to know them before any trial starts.
We think it is better for you - and better for the cat - that you meet it in your home rather than at a noisy, busy cat transfer event. - 2: Long trial period
- We have a 3 week trial period (2 weeks for kittens) that can be extended on request. That gives enough time to find out whether this cat is right for you.
If you already have a cat it gives you time to introduce the two cats properly and make sure they get along.
If there are problems - or you just feel that the cat is not suitable - we will remove it within 24 hours, often sooner. - 3: We give you support
- We don't just dump animal off on you then disappear. For a trial we will bring a cage, a cat toilet and cat food. We will give you support by email and Line for as long as the cat is with you, even after you adopt it.
- 4: We usually know the cat
- In most cases, we know the cat and will share that information with you as openly as we can.
Some cats are highly socialised and will (probably) take just a day or two to settle in. Others will require several weeks or even months. We will always tell you what to expect. [Oddly, the cats you have to work hardest with are often the ones who will ultimately form the strongest bond with you.] - 5: We rehome to families
- We think pets should be part of a child's life - even young children, with appropriate adult supervision. [Not every animal is suitable for a family with young children and we will want to meet the whole family before placing a cat with you.]
- 6: We rehome to foreigners
- CATNIP's founding director is British. We are happy to rehome to foreigners and to people who will take the cat with them when they leave Japan.
- 7: We do a lot of TNR
- Almost all our cats came to us because they were unwanted, dumped on the streets or kittens rescued during TNR activities. You are giving them a second chance.
- 8: We don't ask for a guarantor
- Unless you are very elderly, we do not ask for a guarantor. Ultimately we are the guarantor for the cats we rehome.
- 9: We are open and clear about money
- We will always tell you the transfer fee for each cat (a maximum of 20,000yen for a vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, virus-tested cat ) and we always give receipts.
This is payable only if the trial goes well and you decide to keep the cat.
CATNIP is run by volunteers. No-one is paid. All income goes straight back into cat welfare. - 10: We speak human, in several languages...
- We don't just like animals, we [quite] like people too! We - emphatically - do not do moral or emotional blackmail or try to make you feel bad.
People who adopt from us tell us that they thought the process was smooth and easy. - 11: The cat's the client
- ... and in practice that means we really want you to love him or her and for the placement to work for both of you. So if you are having difficulties with one of our animals, get in touch.
