The Brooklyn Cat Cafe

Visitors can spend time with adoptable cats rescued from New York City streets at this public cat cafe and adoption center. The space also hosts events and classes, and offers private parties and rentals. It serves as a community space for cat rescue, education, trap-neuter-return (TNR), and outreach. The cafe is operated by Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, a nonprofit focused on rescuing and rehoming homeless cats and supporting local rescuers. Its specialties include cat adoption and humane education. The organization also runs a rescue clinic offering low-cost veterinary services and spay/neuter for rescuers and low-income pet owners. Located in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, the cafe is volunteer-run and open to the public Fridays through Mondays.
