Crema's Take

“Pounce Cat Cafe is a Charleston gem that brilliantly blends specialty coffee and drinks with adoptable cats, creating an irresistible reason to linger for an hour or more. Your entry fee includes a thoughtfully crafted beverage—whether that's a specialty coffee, wine, or soda—plus unstructured time to play with and fall in love with cats ranging from kittens to two-year-olds, many of whom are looking for their forever homes. It's the kind of place where you can casually witness adoptions happen while sipping a good drink, making it feel less like a novelty and more like the most wholesome way to spend an afternoon in the city.”

I LOVE THIS PLACE SOOOOOO MUCH!!! I was just here Friday (19th) with my friend and her mom and she adopted a cat named Allie! I wish I could've adopted Pietro (love him so much...) The drinks were SOOO good, and the staff were extremely polite, funny, and kind! The bar and cat area, well, the whole place in general felt SOOO homey and spelt SOOOOOOOOOOO nice. All the cats were fairly friendly and sweet! I love the place so much!!!!!! The snacks were amazing and so was everything in general!

This place is so fun! Get a glass of wine or a soda and play and love on some animals. If you find you really are vibing with one of the cats you can go ahead and adopt them! Cuteness overload. Want to really have some fun? Get some catnip spray and pregame by spraying yourself... The cats will be like magnets to ya. I adopted a Regal orange male named "Will" he's loving his new home, and I love being his forever Mama.

Wow, who knew?? What a great idea for an urban environment! You can have your cat nip any time you want...and a little wine too. Meet old friends and make new ones in a place that brings your cortisol down! And the purr factor up. Me'ow. #KittenAdoption Don't forget to leave me a ❤️!

Loved getting to spend time with these kitties. They had a number of cats ranging from 6 months to 2 years. For the entrance fee you get a drink and one hour with the cats. You can also adopt from here.

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.
