Such a cool experience. My niece loves animals so this seemed the purrr-fect mini day trip. I wouldn't call myself a cat person, but this was still a delightful time. It was entertaining watching all the cats interact and play and climb on the available toys. Some would interact with the people and even let you pet them, some were standoff-ish which is totally understandable. There was someone available to answer any and all questions you may have about the cats and their program. The coffee in the cafe was wonderful. Tea and hot chocolate along with lots of other drink options are available. Delicious looking pastries were available also although we didn't try any during this visit. You pay separately to get into the cat area to pet and play, but there are large windows to view the area from the street and/or while sipping your coffee next door. Go try it out and support a great cause!

Such an amazing spot! I stumbled upon this cat cafe and even adopted Todd from here. It’s a great environment for the cats to get socialized with humans and other cats. The staff is very friendly and the adoption process was thorough.

Such a fun place. Good spot to go for a chai tea and watch the cats. Clean and inviting cafe with comfortable seating. We attended a birthday party for elementary age. Staff helped with pointers on positive interaction with the felines in the cat room. All had a good time. I hope some cats get adopted. Creative and fun way to find your pet

I can’t express how much I love this little cafe! The coffee was absolutely delish. And the cat room was 100% worth the stop. The cute little orange resident cat was so sweet, and all the shelter cats were so sweet to love on!

It's a unique spot for Charleston! Very cozy cafe with great drinks. The cats are all separated from the main cafe but can be viewed through large windows if you don't want to go in and interact with them.

Cute and Fun. When you walk into the main door it's like a regular Cafe. Then they have a wall down the middle with huge windows. You can watch the cats through them. If you want to play with the cats you can "rent" time. The cats are rescues. It's a good cause and if you have a cat allergy, I feel like you could still enjoy the Cafe part as long as it's not a major allergy.
