About us
A home for rescue cats looking for loving families
At Jiji Rescue Cat Cafe, we provide rescue cats from all over Sydney with safe and loving environment. We prioritise their wellbeing and comfort always.
Our cozy atmosphere is complemented by delicious coffee, making it the perfect spot to unwind and connect with these wonderful animals.
Unlike other experiences, our cats live comfortably in this cafe until they find their forever homes. When you visit, you see them in their space and get to see their real personalities.
Our story & founder
Founded in February 2023 by Yuki Arai, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, Jiji Rescue Cat Cafe is a heartfelt tribute to her late sister, who lost her battle with cervical cancer.
The memory of her sister inspires her to create a space where every moment counts—one where people can relax, enjoy the company of cats, and perhaps even find a new furry family member.
Yuki believes in the power of compassion,"just because you cannot save them all, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try."
Yuki's journey began with an extensive study of feline psychology, anatomy, and anxiety, complemented by her valuable experience working at a cat cafe in Sydney. Jiji Rescue Cat Cafe is driven by Yuki's desire to make a difference in the lives of rescue cats and the people who love them.
