In near future, a scientist team in Japan began genetic experiments to create human/animal hybrids: Kemonomimi. Initially, many people derided it as "silly otaku nonsense", nothing that should be taken seriously and which is doomed to failure. But just after a short time, the scientists were successful and created a living "nekomimi", also known as catgirl, a human girl with cat ears and tail. Soon afterwards, they created more kinds of kemonomimi and finally male and even hermaphroditic ones.
At the beginning, they were sold as pets to rich people, the only ones who could afford them at that time. The general public was still wary of the new life form, apparently more human than animal, but still treated as the latter. But after a while, prices for kemonomimi fell. This resulted finally in the foundation of the Mimi Pet Store, the first store to sell kemonomimi pets. Situated in Akihabara, Tokyo, they catered to otaku, who were also their sole customer base initially. But more and more "normal people" overcame their inhibitions and bought kemonomimis.
Nowadays, kemonomimi pets are popular all over the world. Even sex with kemonimi, initially viewed as bestiality, became so widespread that no one bats an eyelash when somebody admits that they sleep with their kemonomimi pets.
The Mimi Pet Store didn't rest on their success. Having enhanced their service and the quality of their pets, they are still a prime address for kemonomimi pets and even have customers from foreign countries. But when they introduced a rental service, their popularity nearly exploded. Initially intended for the customers to "try out" a pet before they buy it, it soon became a profitable source of income, when many people started to constantly rent pets without buying them and became regular customers. This in turn caused the introduction of the "in-house rent". People would rent a pet and spend time with them in the store's various facilities. By now, it's mostly a pet store in name-only. They still sell pets, but the vast majority of income comes from the rents.

Basically, Kemonomimi appear as humans with animal ears and an animal tail. Since they were originally created in Japan, the name "Kemonomimi" (animal ears) is used in the entire world, but many just call them "animalgirls/boys". The same applies to names of the separate species (i.e. nekomimi are often called "catgirls/boys"). They are capable of speech, mostly act human, but they tend to be very submissive to their owners and it's not uncommon for them to have traits of the animal, they are based on. Male kemonomimi tend to have rather soft features and there are quite a few who look like girls, which makes them popular with people who like to let their pets crossdress.
Nowadays, kemonomimi aren't created artificially anymore. They can breed normally and have in fact quite high birth rates, so they are mostly reared. However, they can only breed with kemonimi of their own species. Sex with other species and humans is of course possible, but no child can result in that.
There are four kemonomimi species: Nekomimi (cats), Inumimi (dogs), Usagimimi (bunnies) and Nezumimi (mice). All with the ears and tail of the animals they are based on.

Masashi Adachi
There it is. The Mimi Pet Store. Masashi was nervous as he stood before the building. It was the first time he came here. He wanted to go here since a long time, but he never brought up the courage to do so. Until now. He could still turn around but he wouldn't. It was now or never.
Masashi always wanted a kemonomimi pet, since he was a little boy. A pet with which he could play like with another human seemed like a dream. But his parents had a very low opinion of kemonomimi and never had one. As he got older, he craved them even more. Especially, when he noticed... other qualities. And now that he was an adult he could finally have one for himself. However, he neither had enough money nor enough time to care for one. So, this store's rental service was pretty convenient...
Having finally worked up his courage, Masashi entered the store. It was filled with people and there were also some pets. The walls were decorated with photos of kemonomimi and on the counter were some brochures. Masashi went to a free clerk and stated his wish to rent a pet. He couldn't supress a blush. The clerk led him to the room were the cages with the pets were, so he could choose one.

Rina
With a loud yawn, Rina woke up from her slumber. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, noticing that most of the other pets were already up. A few customers, who looked at the pets, giggled at her, some commenting her cuteness. The nekomimi smiled at them. It was nice to be appreciated like that.
Rina came to the store three years ago. She was dropped here after her former owner died. Initially, she was quite depressed, hated living at the store and was in a perpetual bad mood. She was very unpopular because of that and nobody wanted to rent her. The chance that anyone would buy her was next to zero. But after a while she overcame her grief, ready to move on, and got used to the store. Soon she even started to like it, after a few people rented her. In this place, she always got to know new people and even make some friendships. By now, she barely can imagine another life, even though she never forgot her former owner.
It seemed like it would be a day like any other for the young catgirl. That wasn't a bad thing, she liked watching all the people who came her looking for pets to buy or rent. But she preferred to be rented herself. She sat down, waiting and hoping that someone would come to rent, if not even buy, her.

The general public was still wary of the new life form, apparently more human than animal, but still treated as the latter. But after a while, prices for kemonomimi fell.
