Sun Moment, located in Toucheng Town, Yilan County, northeastern Taiwan, is a four-room guesthouse located in an old house near the sea. The current lodging guide clearly states that 5 cats live inside the inn, and introduces it as an inn of choice for cat lovers.
Resident cats who walk around the inn with guests
Current guest reports describe friendly cats spending time in shared spaces and sometimes following guests around. The cats are part of everyday life at the inn, rather than appearing only for a short, scheduled event.
However, no information confirming that the facility guarantees cats will enter guest rooms has been found. We classify this inn as B, for interaction in shared spaces. Even if a cat comes close, do not close the door to keep it in the guest room or wake a sleeping cat.
4 rooms in an old seaside house
Accommodation information from the Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area lists 4 guest rooms and a location on Gangkou Road in Toucheng Town. Travel books, DVDs, and assorted objects are kept inside; guests and staff share spaces in this homely inn.
Because the inn uses an old house, ask about stairs, sound insulation, and whether bathrooms and toilets are private or shared for each room. If you have large suitcases, mobility concerns, or small children, ask how to reach your room before booking.
Combining the sea, surfing, and Guishan Island
The inn is by the sea in Toucheng, a location suited to combining surfing, whale watching, Guishan Island, and coastal walks. Rather than remaining inside solely for the cats, a stay here suits going out to the sea and waiting for cats to approach in the shared spaces after you return.
Whale-watching trips and boat services may be canceled depending on sea conditions. Summer typhoons and winter seasonal winds are also possible, so avoid relying on a single outdoor activity and consider how to spend rainy days.

Summary
Sun Moment 鬆貓們民宿 combines an old house where five cats live with the sea at Toucheng. Guests do not book sessions of contact with cats here; instead, they wait for cats to approach during the inn’s everyday life.
After returning from the sea, wipe your feet, keep your voice low enough not to startle the cats in shared areas, and interact quietly only when a cat approaches. This inn suits that kind of stay.
