Welcome to DollyCats
Welcome to DollyCats, a home where abandoned cat plushies gather.
Once upon a time, we were nothing more than ordinary cat plushies...
One day, our owners threw us away, and as time quietly passed, we were forgotten.
Even so, we never stopped wishing for one thing:
"We want to be loved by someone again."
When that wish became strong enough, a tiny heart was born within each of us.
From that moment on, we slowly began to transform into humans.
We're still learning what emotions are, and our hearts are not yet complete.
But by spending time with you, our beloved Master, talking, laughing, and creating precious memories together, we gradually learn what it truly means to feel.
Perhaps one day, when our hearts are finally full...
...we'll transform from simple plushies into real human beings.
