Goyangine (Goyangi Sarangbang For You)
Goyangine is a cat shelter that opens its rooms to visitors like a cat cafe, located next to the Disco Pang Pang ride near the former fire station in Seongnam-dong, Jung-gu, central Ulsan. It is the new home of Goyangi Sarangbang For You, a long-running Ulsan shelter for rescued street and abandoned cats that merged into Goyangine. All the cats were rescued, and the space is kept open to the public so the cats can be socialised through contact with many people before adoption. Visitors pay an entry fee that supports the shelter, children aged 6 to 13 must come with a guardian, and volunteering is open from age 17. Adoption enquiries are handled on site and through Instagram.
