"Hōkago NyanNyan" centers on the daily lives of a group of high school girls who form a club dedicated to caring for stray cats. The protagonist, Yui, is a kind-hearted and responsible student who discovers a stray cat near her school. After bringing it to the attention of her classmates, they decide to create the "NyanNyan Club" to provide shelter, food, and medical care for the growing number of stray cats in their neighborhood. The club members include Aoi, a pragmatic and resourceful girl; Miku, a shy but passionate animal lover; and Rina, a cheerful and energetic student who often lightens the mood with her humor.

The narrative unfolds through episodic chapters, each focusing on the challenges and joys of caring for the cats. The girls face various obstacles, such as finding funding for their club, dealing with skeptical school administrators, and addressing the health issues of the cats they rescue.
