[July 1st New Store Opening] The expanding circle of rescue and salvation continues. The increasingly popular rescue dog and cat cafe "ANELLA CAFE Sotetsu Life Ryokuentoshi Store" opens!

ANELLA Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Daiki Ito) will open its 5th welfare-oriented rescue dog and cat interaction cafe in Kanagawa Prefecture, "ANELLA CAFE Sotetsu Life Ryokuentoshi Store," on July 1, 2026 (Wed).

With the philosophy "Saving one life may not change the world, but it will change their world forever," this marks the 35th ANELLA CAFE nationwide (and the 16th store opened in 2026). In this easily accessible location directly connected to the station, we gently support the steps towards welcoming them as a new family member while interacting directly with adorable rescue dogs and cats.

The Sotetsu Life Ryokuentoshi Store, opening this time, is conveniently located directly connected to "Ryokuentoshi Station" on the Sotetsu Izumino Line. It is a bright, open, and healing space that harmonizes with the lush and beautiful cityscape. You can fully experience the charm and loveliness of rescue dogs and cats through direct interaction.

To commemorate the opening, we will be holding an opening campaign from July 1 (Wed) to July 3 (Fri) with 30 minutes of free admission, from July 4 (Sat) to July 5 (Sun) with half-price general admission and free admission for children, and a special "no-loss" grand lottery.

3 Features of "ANELLA CAFE Sotetsu Life Ryokuentoshi Store"

1. A gentle and open interaction space to spend time with rescue dogs and cats like angels

The interior is bright and clean, perfectly fitting the calm cityscape of Ryokuentoshi. Adorable rescue dogs and cats, who have regained their peace of mind through medical care and daily attention, will welcome you.

A bright and open interaction space that evokes the warmth of wood grain and classic Hawaiian vibes. Rescue dogs and cats can relax and play freely.

The cat space is equipped with a cat wheel for active play and cat steps for cats who love high places. You will be healed by their adorable figures relaxing freely.

2. From "destined encounters" to the next step as a new family

We don't just offer interaction; we also assist in the steps to welcome them as a new family, sparked by the destined encounters that happen here. By dropping by casually on your way back from shopping or during your daily routine, you can create an opportunity to pass on the baton of life.

The dogs and cats gradually regain their sense of security through interaction with people. You can find your favorite and slowly deepen your bond.

3. Shaping a "society where kindness circulates" where people and animals support each other

At ANELLA CAFE, through the care of rescue dogs and cats and the operation of our facilities, we also engage in "Employment Support B-type" initiatives to help people with disabilities connect warmly with society and foster a sense of purpose in their lives. The enjoyable time spent at the cafe directly leads to the future of rescue dogs and cats and the creation of a kinder society.

We are sincerely working towards a future where all lives transform "from tears to smiles" and "from loneliness to bonds."

Comment from Representative Director Daiki Ito

"Saving one life may not change the world, but it will change their world forever."

With this belief in our hearts, we have continued to face the lives of dogs and cats who have lost their homes. While rescue dogs and cats are often thought of as "pitiful," they are actually very adorable and, in turn, are like "angels" (Anela) who bring us much happiness.

Thanks to your support, "ANELLA CAFE Sotetsu Life Ryokuentoshi Store," our 5th store in Kanagawa Prefecture, is a place where you can feel the charm of these dogs and cats up close in your daily life. In the lush and beautiful town of Ryokuentoshi, you can casually stop by on your way home from shopping and enjoy interacting with them. Such warm moments can become the catalyst for welcoming a new family, leading to a future where all lives transform "from loneliness to bonds."

What we aim for is "Anela Normalization," a gentle cycle where people and animals live together. We hope to expand this circle of kindness together with the residents of Ryokuentoshi. We sincerely look forward to your wonderful encounters with our "angels."
