Chunyangi House is a rescue cat room inside the Jule & Sophie coffee shop in Junghwasan-dong, Wansan-gu, Jeonju; visitors enter through the coffee shop. The cat area is clearly separated from the cafe seating, and it feels more like a cat shelter within a cafe than a typical cat cafe. Several dozen cats live here, most of them Korean shorthair rescues, and adoption of the cats is arranged. The owner is known for close care of each cat's health and diet, and the room is kept very clean. Most of the cats are docile and sociable, and parents often let children play in the cat room while they sit in the cafe. Cat boarding is also offered.
