Welcome to the Kokoro Cat Clinic

When you are lost, the Kokoro Cat Clinic will be there for you.

Dr. Nikké and his clinic offer an unconventional route to healing. No one quite knows how they arrive, but each visitor leaves with a cat and a sharper understanding of themselves.

Across these interconnected stories, the clinic becomes a steady presence. We meet a woman anxious about an upcoming competition, an overwhelmed young father, an illustrator questioning her career, and a young woman carrying guilt.

Thoughtful and quietly moving, this novel explores the tangled interior lives of people and the love of their feline companions. What it offers goes beyond comfort, landing somewhere deeper: compassion.
