## Centenary Manufacturer Launches Rescue Cat Support Project
Tagawa Sangyo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Tagawa City, Fukuoka; CEO: Shimon Yukihira), a plaster manufacturer with a 100-year history, is advancing the 'Rescue Cat Support Project' to improve environments in cat shelters using its self-developed 100% organic DIY plaster, 'NURI²'. With the cooperation of large-scale facilities such as 'Tokyo Cat Guardian' and 'One Heart Osaka', it has been demonstrated that the plaster provides dramatic effects in inhibiting cat scratching and eliminating odors.
### Stopping Scratching in Harsh Environments
Faced with the major issue of wall scratching in multi-cat households, facilities report that cats stopped scratching surfaces after the application of this plaster.
### Overwhelming Deodorizing Effect
Addressing issues like feline toilet odors, the porous nature of the plaster physically adsorbs odor components, while its strong alkalinity chemically decomposes them semi-permanently.
### Virus Inactivation Effect
Testing based on international standards (ISO 21702) confirmed that the plaster inactivates 97.5% of feline coronavirus (FCoV) in just two hours.
### Message from CEO Shimon Yukihira
'Vinyl wallpaper, a standard in modern construction, is easily used as a scratching post by cats and imposes a high environmental burden. We are committed to providing living environments that are kind to animals, people, and the earth using our 100% natural plaster.'
### Why NURI² is Chosen
As many DIY plasters contain resins or preservatives, NURI² is highly favored by pet owners for being made exclusively from limestone, hemp fibers, and seaweed glue—a 100% natural composition.
