Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar
About
Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar offers a feline sanctuary, making it a unique cat cafe in Charleston, South Carolina. Operating with a clear mission to increase adoption rates, Pounce provides exceptional temporary homes for felines in need. They proudly partner with Charleston Animal Society and The Humane Society for Greater Savannah, working tirelessly to get cats out of cages and into a friendly, comfortable environment. Since December 2016, Pounce has facilitated over 4,000 adoptions across South Carolina and Georgia, with approximately one cat finding its forever family every single day. Visitors must be at least 12 years old to enter, a rule thoughtfully put in place to protect the wellbeing of the resident felines and ensure a peaceful experience. You will find around 15-20 adoptable cats at Pounce at any given time, enjoying spacious surroundings where they are never caged or crated, ensuring these well-adjusted cats are ready to charm future families.
Customers consistently highlight Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar as a clean, welcoming place to relax and unwind with house wine, snacks, and playful cats. Visitors praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff who provide information about each rescue cat. Reviews note the reasonable prices, with options for 30 or 60 minute time slots, and the opportunity to interact with cats in a fun, unique way. Many guests have witnessed adoptions during their visit, expressing joy at seeing cats find forever homes, while some, like one visitor, have fallen in love and adopted a kitty themselves. Two guests commend the staff and the cafe's success in saving kitties. Another guest appreciated the cute cat area, nice staff, and a coffee bar with many options and free refills. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit, it is highly recommended to book reservations in advance, as space in the cat lounge is limited each hour, supporting Pounce's vital mission.
