As Japan's pet market expands, the number of abandoned cats and dogs is also increasing. Sadly, this means many animals must be euthanized. One startup is working to help save these animals by providing them homes in pet cafes and creating unique "kitty condos" which are rental apartments that come with an in-house cat that all residents can enjoy.
