Nabiya is a long-running cat cafe in Gwandong-dong, in the Jangyu area of Gimhae, in a three-storey corner building at the end of the road from the back gate of Sinan Elementary School. It has been operating since at least 2015 and houses many cats across several separate rooms, including kittens, so visitors can move between rooms and get to know individual cats. It feels like a shelter-like home for the cats, and some of its cats have been adopted into new families. Entry is a single per-person fee, with gelato and drinks such as coffee and juice sold separately. The cafe runs an online Naver community for its visitors and is especially popular with families with children in Jangyu.

Cat 3/4 is a quiet rescue cat cafe on the eighth floor of the Metro Tower 2 building in the Naeoe-dong restaurant district of Gimhae. Its cat room, home to rescued and abandoned cats, is separate from a regular cafe area, so visitors can pay for the cat room, use only the cafe, or both. The cafe deliberately sells no cat treats, a rule the owner keeps to protect the cats' health and lifespan, and the cats, used to people, come over on their own when visitors sit quietly. The owner has a background in early childhood education and shows children how to treat animals with respect. Cats waiting for homes are adopted only to responsible people after spending time together. The cafe is closed on Tuesdays but opens on public holidays.

Ragdoll Cat Cafe Gimhae is a cat cafe on the seventh floor of the Noblesse Building next to Gongju Park in Naeoe-dong, Gimhae, where every resident cat is a ragdoll, a breed known for its soft coat and gentle temperament.

Tickets are sold as a basic two-hour visit with or without a drink, a three-hour deluxe ticket, or an unlimited ticket with one drink. There is no dedicated parking, but nearby street-side and Gongju Park public car parks are inexpensive. The cafe also sells ragdoll kittens. The calm ragdolls make it easy to take photos.
