  Descrição

  Hi! My name is Hiroko(Maman)
  
  I live in the beautiful island of Ojika in Nagasaki prefecture, together with my husband and lots of cats.
  I run a Karaoke-Bar since 1994.
  Finally my dreams came true in the spring of 2025 to open safe and happy place for stray cats !!
  I'm looking for helpers to support me with daily tasks—but also to share your creativity, passion, and ideas!
  I would love to welcome workawayers who can support me take care of 13 stray cats, play them together so they can live happy and comfy every day.
  
  I love Ojika island so much.
  Ojika is a small island with a population of around 2,000 people. It’s located about 3 hours by ferry from Sasebo, or 5 hours from Fukuoka. The island is known for its stunning beaches, peaceful nature, and warm-hearted community.
  There are many other beautiful islands in the area—Ojika is one of the Goto Islands, each with its own charm and history.
  
  Just 25 minutes away by ferry is Nozaki Island, an uninhabited island that was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018.
  It holds the remnants of early Christian history in Japan and is home to many wild deer—an enchanting and mysterious destination for those interested in Japan’s religious past.
  
  we’d love to welcome you and collaborate to make something wonderful together.🐾✨
