ANELLA Group operates ANELLA CAFE, a welfare‑type rescue dog and cat interaction cafe that fuses a shelter and a B‑type employment support business to help people with disabilities work while promoting pet adoptions. The company franchises the concept and reports 50 locations including those in preparation. Its dual revenue model—government subsidies for employment support plus admission fees, merchandise and grooming—supports unit economics the company says can target over ¥5M monthly sales, reach breakeven in 3–4 months and return investment in ~14 months. ANELLA plans to use new capital to expand a headquarters shelter to handle roughly 1,000 animals, upgrade medical/behavior/transfer databases, build franchise support (SVs, veterinarians, e‑learning) and boost marketing to improve CPA/CPO and drive adoptions. Founded in November 2017 and headquartered in Setagaya, Tokyo, the company frames its mission as “Change one life forever.”
