Brooklyn Cat Cafe, New York, NY Videos

Here at the Brooklyn Cat Cafe we do our best to help all animals in need whether they are big or small. While Hugo the Hippo and Neil the Seal probably think they are small lap cats and not our largest residents... their wish for National Dog Day is for all shelter dogs to find loving adoptive homes. Meanwhile, they wait patiently for the perfect forever home of their own.❤️         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

There are many reasons to spay your cat, even if they don’t spend time outdoors and aren’t at risk of having kittens. The story of Luna is a perfect example. Luna’s father recently thanked us again for helping them with their feisty feline! Luna’s doting family was at their wits end. Luna was in heat — again! No one was getting any peace or any sleep. Cats in heat generally vocalize a lot, and exhibit other unpleasant behaviors. Even worse, this can happen every 2-3 weeks during breeding seasons! Luna was unhappy and her family was unhappy… thanks to BBAWC’s low cost spay/neuter clinic Luna was spayed — as well as vaccinated & microchipped. Upon her return home, not only did peace and quiet abound but Luna is living a happier, healthier life chasing toys and stalking pigeons out of her favorite window. Why spay/neuter your pets?: Better health 🏥🩺 Better behavior 😇😊 Better lives! ❤️🐱         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

This weekend, our kittens put on their own pint-sized Olympics. From wrestling their mom’s tail to epic paw-to-paw combat, they competed like tiny champions.🏅Now they’re resting up, preparing for next weekend’s antics. Want to watch the mayhem during your lunch break? You can see the kittens 24/7 at catcafebk.com/kitten-cam          #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Two Fish was found outside with a ruptured eyeball. He’s a lucky guy — he was rescued. Every homeless kitten should have the chance to receive vital veterinary care — including eye surgery in cases like Two Fish — but they won’t. Kittens born outside struggle to survive, facing cold winters, hot summers, hunger, disease and other dangers. TNR is the most humane way to address cat overpopulation, and with long-term community collaboration, we can make a lasting difference and prevent kittens from suffering and dying. Our mission is to prevent 500,000 kitten deaths, but we can’t do it without your help.         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Born in a garage, Farore was the smallest of his litter and suffered from many medical issues. He may not have survived had a rescuer not scooped him up and brought him to the @bbawcrescueclinic, which is supported by your donations. Once Farore and his siblings were healthy, they went to a foster home (thank you, fosters!) and are now thriving and ready for adoption! There really is no “I” in rescue. From physically picking up a litter from the streets, to providing medical care, to fostering, to finding a forever home… it takes a community working together to complete the task. Thank you for being a part of this team.❤️🐈         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Is there anything better than an evening with cats and a cello? How about watching Melman (huge lover of string instruments and string toys alike) enjoy his first ever private concert? 🎻🐈 After our successful music (and Melman) appreciation event, we’re looking forward to adding more adult only hours. Have ideas for the next adults only night? Drop them below👇         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Ever wonder what it’s like to open the door to a roomful of hangry cats? (Despite what they may tell you, please keep in mind that they do have access to a 24/7 buffet). Did you know we go through about 50 cans of cat food a day just for the cats in our main cafe space? Who’s hungry? 🐱       #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

R2 is here to tell you about all of the Brooklyn Cat Cafe’s feline massage packages! At our cafe, the wellness and happiness of our cats are our top priorities. R2’s owner had to move out of his apartment due to lead poisoning and couldn’t take him along. R2 had a hard time adjusting when he first came under our care. He would hiss, swat, and avoid contact with anyone. Additionally, R2 has hyperthyroidism, adding to his challenges both mentally and physically. We are dedicated to showering R2 with love and care. He’s on our VIP list for regular massages to ensure he feels happy and pampered every day. We are also thankful that R2’s previous owner surrendered him to us, instead of leaving him on the street (like our friend Sir Yorrik). Responsible surrendering of pets is imperative to help control the cat houseless cat population in NYC. PS: we know lots of you are waiting for a Sir Yorrik update. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to delay. We will share updates soon, but rest assured he is comfortable, safe, and getting lots and lots of scritches. 😻         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

We have some cats in our care who are not candidates for our main cafe space. Thanks to your donations, we are lucky enough to have a space where cats with many differing needs and personalities can thrive. Cats who aren’t candidates for the main space may be really young, have health issues we are working on resolving, they may not be too fond of other cats, or they may be very shy and waiting for an experienced foster. It’s our goal to keep all of the cats in our care mentally and physically engaged with toys, games, catnip, and kitty puzzles. Sally Boy, the star of this video, isn’t a fan of too many feline friends (he’s great with a smaller number of other cats). He’s having a great time in our Shy Cat Room bonding with a couple of our other kitties and his caretakers. Consider adopting Sally Boy, or donating to help us continue maintaining a multi faceted space for all our feline friends.          #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Very exciting (and a tad bit bittersweet) news! Some of our longest residents, Scooby Doo and Mystery Inc are going home this Sunday. We are so happy for them, even though we’ll miss their antics. Come by this weekend and say goodbye to this sweet pair, and maybe find a forever cat of your own. We are so proud of you, Mystery and Scooby.❤️          #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Melmoth decided to take over our reels today, so he could show you a day in his life! He was found wandering outside in Bed Stuy, and had clearly been living outside for a while. His behavior, however, suggests he was at one point an indoor cat. Due to his past experiences, he is a little bit slow to trust humans, but is very sweet once he gets to know you. He is a pro biscuit maker, and an avid treat connoisseur (treats are the best way to become his friend). If you’re looking for a cute and playful guy, consider adopting Melmoth today!         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Furrnando wandered into a large colony, hungry and alone. He was trapped with some other unfixed cats in the colony. While recovering, he showed his sweet side by asking for pets, making biscuits, and loving headbutts. We’re glad that Furrnando’s days of outdoor living are behind him and we promise to find him the perfect human to shower him with love and head scritches. Come meet him at the cafe Friday to Monday, 12pm to 7pm! He’s ready to bring lots of love into your life!         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Some of our longtime residents have recently found homes (including cafe favorites Lois and Mabel), but there are several who are still looking for homes. They are all such great cats, and would love to spend the upcoming summer with you! They range from older single cats to younger, playful pairs. What are you waiting for? Come visit the cafe and meet these sweet babies today.         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Have you visited our FeLV room yet? This room houses our FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia Virus) cats. Although these cats typically have a shorter lifespan than most other cats, they are still just as silly, playful, cuddly, and deserving of love! We currently have cats of all ages and personality types in our FeLV room, and it is such a joy to visit the room and discover their personalities. Cats with FeLV can live normal and healthy lives when provided with quality care. If you are considering adopting a cat, consider one (or two) of our FeLV+ friends. They’d love to spend summer with you.

Yellow is just one of the many cats whose life we’ve been able to impact thanks to your support. Yellow was found wandering outside, and decided he was ready to stay inside almost immediately. He has since been adopted, and is now named Poutine. We are so happy to have been part of his story.💛       #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Malico lived with 6 other cats and 5 humans in a one-bedroom apartment. None of them were spayed or neutered, and the cats needed to be rehomed, because there were too many cats in the home. Affordable spay/neuter services are limited and are nearly impossible to find in NYC. The crisis is not limited to outdoor cats but also affects owned cats. We were glad to be able to step in to help Malico’s family and take him in. Join us in our mission to tackle the cat overpopulation crisis in NYC. Your support helps make a difference in the lives of all NYC cats.          #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

In honor of the release of The Tortured Poets Department later this evening, we decided to show you our cats as Taylor Swift albums. Most of these cats are still available for adoption, and would love to meet you at the cafe soon!

We do lots of things while a cat recovers from their spay/neuter surgery. We assess not only their health (treating skin and respiratory infections, and performing dental surgeries) but their personality as well. In the case of Ulla, one assessment helped with the other. We had been monitoring and working on solving this little girl’s GI issues and this morning when she needed to have her tail bathed, we realized she is friendly! She was so happy to get pets and scritches, and leaned into all the love. Thank you for helping us to support these incredible cats, and stay tuned for the rest of Ulla’s journey.         #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc

Kittens, they love their snack time! Kitten season is in full swing at the Brooklyn Cat Cafe, which means double the treats. Don’t worry, the mom and other kittens did eventually get some temptations after this little guy stole most of them.          #catcafebk #rescue #adoptdontshop #brooklyn #catrescue #adopt #brooklyncats #bbawc #spayandneuter #trapneuterreturn #catresbk #catcrisisnyc
