Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar

What a great experience! Exceeded our expectations. First, the place was very clean and surprisingly did not smell the least bit of cats (if you know what I mean). The staff was outgoing, friendly, and enjoyable. There were 15 or so cats and they were all very playful and energetic. Was excited to learn they’ve had 571 cats adopted since December 2016. I can see why. We could have easily adopted 3 of them!

Great place! Love that they work with the local shelter to help adopt cats. It’s a great way to get to know a cat if you are looking to adopt or just find out if you are a ‘cat person’. There were about 14 cats there when we went. Dahlia was a super sweet girl who was a little shy at first but loves her head scratched! Such a sweet girl.

Don't waste your time. We called ahead & on a Tuesday (not busy). They knew we took a shuttle yet they turned us away knowing that and were not busy! Never going back.

I was missing my own pet while on vacation and booked an hour at Pounce with 3 others' we all had an excellent time and I loved getting to interact with the kitties.

Visited with my friend for her 87th birthday and we had so much fun! Staff are sincerely enjoying their job, the cafe was quaint and clean, and not surprising, the kitties were absolutely perfect!! What a charming idea! My hope is for every kitty to have their very own human to serve their every need, but in the meantime, visit for some cat hair love!

Lovely place, super friendly staff, extremely friendly cats! The drinks are good and you can hang out in the bar room for drinks and deserts even if you don't have a reservation to be in the cat room. Both rooms are loungey and lovely.

This place is awesome and doing a great thing in helping humane society cats learn to socialize with other cats and people. We got one of our cats from Pounce and he is super friendly and not afraid of new people, other cats, or smaller dogs.
10/10 would recommend Pounce!

This is a place that's half adoption center, half "cafe+Winebar." You pay $15/hour and it comes with a free drink. The food options are limited to pastries (which cost extra). The availability is based on the number of felines present. If you like cats, you will like this place.

I had an amazing time at Drag Bingo hosted by the lovely Patti O’Furniture! The drinks were amazing! The prizes were awesome! All in all a wonderful time! Would recommend for anyone! Cozy atmosphere, top notch, and very clean. You wouldn’t even be able to tell there are cats there due to absolutely no smell! Support the cat cafe mission even if you have no intentions to adopt!

When I discovered on a recent trip with a friend to Charleston that there was a cat cafe where you got to have a drink and play with cats for an hour, I knew we had to go! My friend is definitely a cat person (she has 2) so she was super excited. And anything that aids animal adoption, I'm all for. The theme is all things cats, from the decor to the "meowmosa" that you can get to drink.

In addition to kitty play time, they also do monthly events like cat yoga and a drag bingo night. I was lucky enough to still be in town for the drag bingo and it was one of my favorite things I did! So even if you don't care about playing with cats, go have fun playing bingo with a drag queen!
