Medical expenses are high

To save a cat, you first need to pay for medical care. This can cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen, including vaccinations to prevent the cat from getting sick, medicine to protect the cat from fleas and ticks, and medical expenses if the cat catches a cold, gets sick, or gets injured.

In the case of rescued cats, the medical expenses to save them are covered by rescue groups and volunteers. If cats are not spayed or neutered, they will continue to multiply, and as the number of cats increases, sad incidents may occur or cats may be put down, which can lead to delicate issues. In order to prevent this, it is very important to secure medical expenses.

Living expenses until the rescue cat is adopted

Rescued cats are quarantined for one month after receiving vaccinations, etc. This eliminates the risk of pregnancy or infectious diseases, and only when it is deemed safe to do so can they be recruited for foster homes.

Until a home is found, various expenses will be incurred, including securing a place for the cat to live, rent for a shelter where many rescued cats can live peacefully, large amounts of cat food and treats, consumables such as litter and pet sheets, and many other costs.

Some places run cat cafes or sell cat goods and use the profits to cover the cats' living expenses, but they only break even because they prioritize protecting cats over profits.

As such, before a rescued cat can be transferred to a foster home, a place to keep the cat safe, medical expenses to prevent illness and injury, and care and maintenance costs to keep the cat healthy are necessary. Rescue organizations and volunteer groups are collecting donations so that the cats can live comfortably and in safety until a foster home is found.

Aoneco provides support to help cats live comfortably. We operate with a focus on the relationship between profit and protection, such as by selling merchandise and using the profits to cover the costs of protection.

With the cooperation of various companies, aoneco is able to donate approximately 10% of its product prices to cat shelters, ensuring that this charity is an ongoing effort rather than a one-time event.
