Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar

Really cute option to get a bunch of cats adopted. Make sure to wash your hands before and after, and double check to make sure no one escapes. Some of the little furrbabies are FAST!

Overall, a really nice way to spend and hour, drinking a bottle of wine and playing with little rescue kittens. The gift shop also has some great items, which if course we had to splurge on. It is for the kittens after all.

This was our second trip here.
4 years ago when my husband and I were dating we came here for our very first anniversary. We loved our time so much we went twice that same weekend!

This trip was our first as a married couple. We decided to go to Charleston for our anniversary, so of course we had to make reservations at pounce.
The staff was friendly and the cats stole our hearts!
I absolutely recommend pounce for a great time and a serotonin booster.
Thank you so much!! ❤️😻

This was a wonderful experience! Most of the cats were so friendly, and there are toys everywhere to engage with them. It’s a very clean and relaxing environment. The Taylor Swift themed merch was a nice added bonus! This place is a must if you are visiting Charleston.

I have a past working with animals/ have cats of my own so I was very interested in visiting the cat cafe! The staff was very sweet and i enjoyed spending time with all the kitties. I have a lot of love for spicy cats but I believe some of them are a little to spicy to be chilling with people or other kitties for long periods of time. within my year of working with cats, i have never been scratched or bit. when i was playing with some of the cats here, they would randomly snap and actually attempt to bite or scratch me. One of the kitties actually broke skin and i was bleeding/ left with a scratch, which is a little abnormal. I believe the cats here should be put up for brief breaks every so often away from each other and people so they don’t get overstimulated/ become more spicy as the day goes on, or maybe if the staff knows a certain cat is spicy they could give a brief warning to customers! Other than that this is a really cute place to stop by, especially if you love cats!

Staff was super sweet, the cats were absolutely amazing. As a self proclaimed crazy cat lady, I’ve been to a heck ton of cat cafes, and this one is by far at the top of my list. Also…cat themed Taylor Swift stickers. 10/10

Staff is always incredibly friendly and you can tell easily how passionate they are for the cats that came into their care. Such a fun way to spend an hour- the beverage options are plenty, and the cats are so playful! We felt like it’s a great value for the cost and knowing that the proceeds benefit the humane society is an added bonus.

I love this place! I’ve been away from home for a while and I missed seeing my cats. Coming here was such a welcoming experience and seeing the cats made me want to take them all home. I booked a hour session and fell in love. The service was so good and the staff were so friendly and nice. I would definitely go back if I find myself in the area. Do reserve ahead of time to ensure there is not to many people when you go!

Rude! Tried to walk in and they shut the door in my face — said not to let the cats out. This is the exact OPPOSITE of southern hospitality. Place was EMPTY. How do you expect to get customers to come in if you can’t go through the door? Cats probably starving for attention. Do not recommend.

Stumbled across this place while walking down the street. Bought a 30 minute time slot & some treats. It happened to be happy hour so we also got a $6 wine.

We saw 2 cats get adopted while we were there. I wanted to cry, I was so happy!

The place was very clean and the cats had room to move about and avoid each other, as well as guests if they wanted to.

The staff members were so welcoming and friendly. The cats here are in good hands!

Swifties will love the sticker selection and occasional TS song.

Really awesome experience. I loved being with the fur babies. I loved the vertical shelves. The staff was friendly. They have a good adoption rate and are definitely feline friendly:)

Lovely place to unwind with house wine, a couple couches, and cats. The cats are all up for adoption and nearly 3k have been adopted through here. Most of the cats were hiding / tired this afternoon but it was still a heartwarming place with kind staff. Reasonably priced and a relaxing way to spend an hour in the city. If you have the time, opt to stay 60 minutes rather than 30.

I loved this little cat cafe. Was such a great environment, and the coffee and mimosas were amazing as well!

A must stop if you're in Charleston. Great coffee, great music, a friendly staff...and cats of course!
