CAINZ Corporation (Headquarters: Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director President CEO: Masayuki Takaie) announced that it has donated 2.22 million yen from the sales of all cat food and supplies purchased during the "CAINZ Nyan Matsuri 2026," held from Saturday, January 24, 2026, to Monday, February 23, 2026, to the Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Doubutsu Kikin. This donation activity is part of CAINZ's efforts to realize a community where people and pets coexist, and it is the fourth such donation, following the "CAINZ Wanwan Matsuri 2025." This time, in cooperation with participating manufacturers, a portion of the total sales was donated to the Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Doubutsu Kikin, a private, non-profit animal welfare organization. The donated funds are planned to be used for continuous support, such as assisting activities to find new owners, rescuing animals from multi-animal hoarding situations, and the "Sakura Neko TNR" initiative, which prevents breeding by performing spay/neuter surgeries on stray cats. We sincerely thank everyone for their warm support. In addition to holding adoption events called "Kumimachi Dog and Cat Adoption Project" at CAINZ stores and operating the online matching service "Shippo no Deai," CAINZ continuously engages in activities for rescued dogs and cats, collaborating with various stakeholders surrounding them, such as local governments and animal welfare organizations partnered with local governments. On Thursday, December 12, 2024, CAINZ concluded a "Partnership for Promoting the Adoption of Rescued Dogs and Cats" with the Ministry of the Environment. Moving forward, we will continue to work hand-in-hand with local governments and animal welfare organizations partnered with local governments nationwide, aiming to realize a community where local rescued dogs and cats can live healthy and happy lives, and where people and pets coexist.
