Tomomi Maruyama is directing the anime at Animation Planet, and Mariko Kunisawa (Magimoji Rurumo, Hatsukoi Limited) is in charge of the series scripts. Yoichi Hayakawa (Granblue Fantasy the Animation) is the sound director, while Hiromi Kamekawa (Ocha-ken) is the music director. Include and PD/Ongaq are credited for both music and music production.

Yoshinori Enoki is credited as executive producer. Kazuto Imanishi, Naruatsu Baba, and Tsuneo Takechi are among the project planners, and Hiroshi Hagiwara, Kazunori Morisaki, and Fumihiro Ozawa are among the producers. Shōhei Yoshioka and Tsutomu Kaneko are the animation producers.

The opening theme song is titled, "Saa, Susume!" (So, Let's Go!), and the ending theme song is titled, "Asa Nyan D.A.N.C.E." (Morning Meow D.A.N.C.E.).

Colopl launched the Android and iOS smartphone game in 2014. In the game, players build and develop their own land, while raising crops and farm animals. They also interact with other cats who reside on the island.
