Nekodasuke is a NPO corporation advocating for animal life and animal protection.
It strives to preserve an environment including urban areas for humans and animals
to coexist, through various activities focused on the cohabitation of people and
cats. The work of Nekodasuke includes promoting city clean-up and environmental
conservation, along with networking, advising, and supporting the relevant
organizations in terms of their operations and activities.
We started as an alley cat rescue volunteering group, ‘Nekodasuke’ in 1997 which
networks individual rescue activities. The year after, due to the increasing number
of individuals, groups, and organizations engaging in local development activities,
a secretariat was needed. In 1999, when there were more than 350 members in
the group, the necessity of a secretariat management system arose. In response,
Nekodasuke was established as an NPO corporation.
Nekodasuke’s major businesses include: publishing newsletters and developing
promotional materials for the members and administrative divisions related to
animals nationwide; online PR activities; co-hosting ‘local cat seminars’ and
‘consultation sessions’ with local and district administrative agencies; advising
service on measures for local cats via telephone or e-mail; lending capture tools for
TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return); various field activities related to measures for local cats |
