Nekoto® (Hotel Neko&), a specialized pet hotel for cats, has announced the opening of its second branch, 'Nekoto® Saitama,' following the success of its flagship location in Koshigaya, Saitama Prefecture.
While opportunities for cat owners to travel or take business trips have increased, many struggle to find reliable boarding due to concerns over environmental stress, feline anxiety, or behavioral changes when away from home. Nekoto® positions itself not merely as a boarding facility, but as a 'second home' designed to respect the nature of each cat.
■ Spacious Private Rooms and Tailored Environments
The Saitama branch features rooms measuring approximately 6 tatami mats (approx. 10 square meters). Each private suite is equipped with:
・Dedicated luxury cat towers
・Air purifiers and individual climate control
・Large windows for visual stimulation
・24-hour accessible network cameras
・Ceramic water and food bowls
・Full-sized litter boxes
Up to six cats from the same household can stay in one room to minimize separation anxiety. The individual climate control allows staff to adjust temperatures based on the specific age and health condition of the guests.
■ Personalized Care by 'Cat Concierges'
The facility intentionally limits the number of rooms to ensure high-quality, individualized attention. All staff members are 'Cat Concierges' holding feline-related certifications. Their care protocols range from active play for energetic cats to gentle companionship for those who require presence to eat or drink. For nervous cats, the staff maintains a respectful distance while monitoring health indicators like appetite and excretion.
■ Comprehensive Support for Owners
Owners can monitor their cats 24/7 via mobile app cameras and receive daily photo reports detailing their pet's condition. Communication with staff is facilitated through LINE. Additionally, the hotel offers a shuttle service covering Saitama, Chiba (Noda, Nagareyama), and parts of Tokyo (Adachi Ward).
■ Proven Track Record
The original Koshigaya location has served over 800 cats and maintains a 5.0-star rating on Google Maps (as of May 2024). The brand was founded by an owner whose own cat fell ill after a stressful stay at a conventional hotel, driving the mission to create a truly 'cat-first' environment.
