  • Aoshima, a cat island where cats and people live Aoshima, Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture
    The island has a circumference of 4.2 km and is home to several hundred cats.
    The only way to get to the island is by passenger boat, "Aoshima," which makes two trips a day. There are no guest houses, stores, or vending machines on the island.

An open space for visitors and tourists, but also residents that help feed and take care of them. It would be so much better than some of the shelters currently up and running. No cages. If I ever go to Japan, this place is now on my bucket list.

    This is a beautiful thing to have an island just for cats. While most look healthy there are some that look too skinny. I also see signs of eye infections and flea infestation in some of the cats. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to ensure that all cats are healthy and disease down to a minimum. When I am able I will donate. Many prayers of blessings and good health for the cats and those who care for them!

    Many of those kitties are elderly. Low weight, scruffy coats and missing fur on their faces. I see many in the comment section saying they are sick. Nope just old.

      @y-mefarm4249 Рік тому +23

      @Assingment MAT Yes that is a big part of it. Many of the younger folks don't even want to live in the rural villages. So many of these cute villages are pretty much abandoned, only a handful of the elderly are left and when they pass on, their kids dont want the family farms and just walk away and abandon it. I heard Japan is basically giving these abandoned houses away for free in the countryside. A few youtube channels are about getting some of these houses and fixing them up. One woman is an American. So my guess they are allowing foreigners to acquire them as well.

    • @y-mefarm4249

      @@y-mefarm4249those places usually need a lot of work, are far from any city or village. They’re not just giving places away for free. Those UA-cam channels aren’t giving you the full details on what you need to do to acquire those places. You want to check with the Japanese channels who give a lot more info into those “deals”. For foreigners, it might work out better for us, but we still have to learn the language, acquire the specific visas to live here. As an American living here, we’ve looked into this and there’s a lot that goes into it.
