In Ubisoft’s *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of creatures, from dogs and foxes to deer and more. Among these, the presence of adorable cats adds a delightful touch to the game. For those eager to discover the location of the cat island in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, let’s guide you through the journey.
How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To embark on this feline adventure, you'll need to venture into the region of Omi, typically around the midpoint of the story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and equipped to tackle the challenges ahead. Head northeast to reach Omi.
Your destination is within Lake Biwa, the expansive body of water central to the region. To reach the island, securing a boat is highly advisable. You can find one in the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you can swim to the island.

Aim for the larger island situated in the middle of the lake, just northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, the game will unveil the island of Okishima, where you can find a Kakurega to rest. The abundance of fish drying near the docks suggests a plentiful food source for certain creatures.
To immerse yourself in the company of cats on Okishima, head north toward the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter an increasing number of cats. Don't miss the chance to pet them, as doing so allows you to add these charming critters to your collection for use in your Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are particularly elusive elsewhere.

While Leaps of Faith usually unlock new map locations, the true treasure on Okishima is the companionship of these feline friends. After exploring and safely landing in the haystack, there's little else to do on the island except to revisit your new cat companions. Additionally, you'll return to Okishima later in Yasuke’s story, adding another layer of excitement to your journey.
