Since our launch in 2022, Cats 1st UK has been dedicated to bringing the best of Japanese cat culture to the UK. We began with a simple mission: to offer high-quality, innovative finds that standard pet shops often do not carry. We are grateful to the cat lovers who discovered our specialty products and supported our journey.
After four years of serving the UK cat community, we realised many of our customers also live with mini and small dogs. That inspired us to expand our curation while staying true to our niche.
Expanding into dog products from Japan is a natural response to our customers' needs — but we are not becoming a general pet shop. We remain focused on a special niche.
We focus on products for cats and small or toy breeds, where fit, comfort and ergonomics matter.
We curate Japanese-inspired toys and accessories with a little kawaii charm.
Selection is considered and perfectly suited for UK city living.
Every item is carefully selected for both function and delight.
Every product we stock is hand-selected as if it were for our own future pet. We combine 35 years of pet-owning wisdom with a modern eye for design to create a collection that is functional, beautiful, and full of heart.
We see ourselves as your personal scouts — searching for the hidden gems of the pet world so you do not have to.
