What we can do for animals
About Felesto's Donation and Support Activities
At Felesto, we use a portion of the proceeds from your purchases to support animal welfare, including rescue dogs and cats.
By donating to and supporting a different organization each time rather than limiting ourselves to just one, we hope to provide an opportunity for you to take a multi-faceted interest in the problems faced not only by dogs and cats, but by various other animals as well.
This activity is based on Felesto's brand philosophy, "Creating a world where animals and people are gently connected," and we aim to create a system where you can enjoy shopping with peace of mind while naturally contributing to society.

A Message from Felesto
Felesto uses a portion of its sales for donations to help rescue dogs and cats.
Even when choosing "rescue cat goods" or "rescue dog goods," you can naturally participate in support activities through Felesto's products, as a portion of our sales goes toward donations.
If you search for "rescue cat" or "rescue dog" on Instagram, you will find many accounts of people working on the front lines. Supporting organizations that interest you also makes a significant difference.
We at Felesto will continue to work together with all of you to brighten the future for animals.
Regarding "Subcontractor" Animal Welfare Groups
Although I was unaware of it at the time, I have since learned of the existence of "subcontractor-like" welfare organizations.
Some organizations specialize in rehoming dogs and cats taken from commercial breeders. It is true that they find new families for these animals.
However, this model does not fundamentally resolve the problem of breeders who continue to force dogs and cats to breed in poor environments.
At Felesto, when choosing recipients, we avoid donating to these types of organizations and focus on supporting groups that are actually performing protection and rescue work on the front lines.
We believe it is important to carefully examine an organization's activities before deciding where to provide support.
