Yaong Yaong Cat Cafe is a basement cat cafe on Jeolmeumui-geori in Seongnam-dong, Jung-gu, directly opposite the Megabox cinema in central Ulsan. It has been running for many years and keeps a mix of breeds and rescued cats, each introduced on the wall with its name and character so visitors know which cats prefer to be left alone. Visitors leave their shoes in a bag at the double-door entrance, which stops cats escaping, and should wear socks, as slippers are not provided. Entry is the same for adults and children and includes a canned or bottled drink; children aged ten and under must come with a guardian. Cat treats are limited to one per table and about 20 a day. In 2026 the cafe was open on weekend afternoons.

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.
