Joe Tomei here. Hope I’m not overstepping, but wanted to give this post a little more notice, Levy Solomon-Magistra has been teaching a monthly yoga class at the Kagonyan Cat Shelter, where all the proceeds (1000 yen per person) go to the shelter but next month is her last class and she’s hoping there might be a replacement yoga teacher.
Running the shelter is not cheap, Kagonyan’s web page at https://www.kagonyan.com/ says it is more than 60 man a month. Kagonyan has a facebook page as well https://www.facebook.com/kagonyan/ I was talking to my wife who said that she donated to the shelter after the earthquake from an Amazon wishlist, when there were so many pets that were displaced. I didn’t see the wishlist on the blog but there is information if you’d like to donate via bank transfer.
One thing I hate to mention, but just in case, there have been incidents where people just leave cats in front of Kagonyan’s door. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to find a home for a cat, PLEASE don’t do that.
