Nyangkkul Nyangkkul is an animal cafe in Yeongdeung-dong, Iksan, on the second floor of the BYC building behind Homeplus and next to Lotte Mart. Its cats were taken in from owners who gave them up or rescued from shelters, and most are friendly lap cats; the cafe also keeps mini pigs and reptiles that visitors can see and feed. The floor is a special sandrock surface that is gentle on the cats' joints but can scratch, so socks are recommended for children. Entry is charged per person with no time limit, with lower rates for students and young children, and children under 24 months enter free with documentation. Only packaged drinks and snacks are sold; takeaway coffee and baby food may be brought in. The Yeongdeung 2-dong public car park is three minutes away. It is closed on Tuesdays.
