Word on the street
What locals are saying
Pounce is widely regarded as a genuine Charleston institution — the South's first cat cafe, founded by two College of Charleston alums and partnered with the Charleston Animal Society for adoptions since 2016. Locals and repeat visitors praise the well-socialized cats, cozy atmosphere, and meaningful adoption mission, with Pounce reportedly claiming the highest cat adoption rate of any cafe in the country. The main friction points are the advance reservation requirement (it books out fast, especially weekends) and the ~$15/hour entry fee, which some find steep for a one-hour visit.
