〜A space where everyone can feel safe〜
ANELLA Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daiki Ito) will open the welfare-type rescue dog and cat interaction cafe 'ANELLA CAFE Gifu Toki Store' on Friday, April 24, 2026. This will be the 26th store nationwide and the first in Gifu Prefecture.
In our cafe, designed with a classic Hawaiian theme based on light blue, you can spend a relaxing time with adorable rescued dogs and cats.
If you find a dog or cat you connect with during your visit, it is possible to welcome them into your home as a family member.
We aim to make encounters with rescued dogs and cats more familiar in the daily lives of the local community.
■ Making Encounters with Rescued Dogs and Cats More Familiar
ANELLA CAFE has been expanding its stores nationwide as a place where rescued dogs and cats can spend time safely interacting with people and meet new families.
Toki City in Gifu Prefecture, where our newly opened store is located, is a world-renowned production area for Mino ware and a vibrant city that blends shopping and nature.
The Gifu Toki store is situated in a calm environment surrounded by the rich mountains and the class A Toki River.
It is an easy-to-visit space for a wide range of generations, including friends, family, and colleagues, welcoming those who rarely interact with rescued animals in their daily lives, as well as tourists and outlet mall visitors from afar.
While providing a healing time to many, our goal is to "let more people know."
Through this store, we aim to communicate the current state of animal welfare and create a significant opportunity to expand the option of "adopting a rescued dog or cat."

■ ANELLA's Vision: Connecting "Forever Families" and "The Joy of Working"
ANELLA CAFE is not just an interaction cafe.
It is a "place to find a forever family" where rescued dogs and cats learn affection through interactions with people and meet their new families.
Additionally, our store functions as a "Type B Employment Support Office."
It is a place where people with disabilities can gain various experiences through caring for dogs and cats and serving customers, taking a step toward participating in society.
Customers seeking healing from animals, dogs and cats waiting for forever families, and working staff.
We provide a space where everyone and every animal involved can connect with a smile.
These experiences serve as an opportunity to learn about the existence of rescued dogs and cats, and the revenue from admission fees supports the continuation of rescue activities.
To date, across all ANELLA CAFE locations, we have bridged approximately 3,500 rescued dogs and cats to new families.
The time spent by visitors has the power to pass the baton of life.
▼ We also regularly hold offline meetings with foster parents & graduated dogs and cats

■ Comment from CEO Daiki Ito
"I am extremely pleased to be able to open 'ANELLA CAFE Gifu Toki Store,' our 26th store nationwide and the first in Gifu Prefecture.
In this wonderful Toki City, where rich nature and traditional culture are alive, I hope that ANELLA CAFE will naturally blend into the daily lives of the local residents, and that encountering rescued dogs and cats will become a standard option.
At our previous stores, many people have learned about the current state of animal welfare, starting from the pure feeling of finding them 'cute.'
At the Gifu Toki store as well, we want to expand a new circle connecting people, animals, and society through a healing time.
We aim to be a warm place that accompanies everyone's daily lives, so please feel free to come and visit us."
