A Japanese company in Tokyo hopes to help their employees unwind and increase productivity by adopting rescue cats into their office. In a cramped and hectic city like Tokyo, having a pet is often a luxury. Most apartments do not allow pets and residents have to visit cat cafes to get their pet fix.
The company - Ferray Corporation, an internet solutions business, has taken in nine rescue cats that have total run of the office. The kitties have become the employees purrfect stress relievers.
Here are the 9 rescue cats they have adopted:
According to rocketnews24, the employees think the cats have been an enormous net positive. Office communication has increased dramatically. The cats have brought them together and lowered everyone's stress.
They have all grown up now. Here, one is enjoying the lap time with an employee and the other one supervises.
The company also encourages their workers to bring in their pets, so every day is Bring Your Pet to Work Day. If they don't have a pet of their own, the company pays out a monthly "cat bonus" of about $42USD to anyone who adopts a cat that needs a home.
Ferray says that the most important quality they look for in new hires is a "love of felines."
