There’s a new cafe in South Carolina that’s one of the most unique in America – and it’s purr-fect!
Located in Charleston’s historic district at 283 Meeting Street, Pounce Cat Cafe just may be the only one of its kind on the East coast.
Their mantra is definitely one of kind as well: boozy beverages, tasty pastries and cuddly kitties you can adopt.
