This is the face of a super friendly and affectionate cat who hasn’t found a home yet because she doesn’t want to hang out in the cat space!

Raleigh is 4 years oldand she is a sweet and chatty lady who loves to be pet and be near a human (but she also enjoys chilling on her own at times.). She’s very easy-going and tolerant, but it looks like she’d like to have all attention to herself. If you’re interested in meeting her, let us know when you visit and we’ll introduce you!

04/19/2024

Please someone adopt Fortune Cookie so that he stops being envious of other cats who love each other!

04/09/2024

Nebula was already with us at the old location, but chances are you didn’t meet her there even if you visited before we moved. She’s been pretty shy, but it looks like the new digs are giving her courage because she’s been out and about with her sister Venus!

Our new space designed by still includes the iconic shelving she created back in 2014 (only bigger!), and lots of hiding spots as well as an extensive use of vertical space to make sure cats like Nebula can thrive as well. We do not force the cats into the play area and they can retreat to a private room whenever they feel like, and Nebula is now happy to join in the fun!

Come visit us at 43 Essex St, Nebula will say hi, and maybe you’ll take her home?

04/03/2024

Rascal has some breaking news: we are reopening to the public at 43 Essex St, just a block away from the old cat space!

You can now make reservations online starting Sunday, April 7. If you want to enjoy the space with just a few other visitors and get first dibs on the adoptable cats, we still have early access tickets available: just donate $30/ person and email us at [email protected] to get a link and book a visit tomorrow or Friday.

As always, all the cats are looking for a home and you can see the current lineup on our website (link in bio).

We can’t wait to have you at the new larger Meow Parlour!

(Please note the café section is closed for now.)

(📸: thank you )

First cats have arrived at the new location!! Rascal and her friends are wondering if you’ll come say hi during our soft launch starting on Thursday? You can still get an early access ticket by donating $30 (here or on GiveButter, link in bio) and emailing us at [email protected]. We’re nervous but excited to welcome our supporters and get your feedback before we open to the public! Please note adoptions will also resume for early access visitors.

03/20/2024

Four years ago we had to close and send all our cats to foster homes as the city was shutting down. Once again, our cat space is empty but this time we’re feeling way more hopeful and excited as we’re setting up a new home!

We’re so grateful for our foster families who volunteered to welcome Gilbert Eugene and friends while we’re getting ready. If you’d like to foster for us, you can submit an application online (link in bio.)

03/17/2024

Join us (and Fluffy) in waving goodbye to 46 Hester Street! We can’t believe this is the last day! We’re so grateful for the past 9+ years in this space and cannot wait for all the goodness to come at our new location. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing supporters, adopters, fosters, and incredible team. Thank you. You can still help us out by donating, dedicating a plaque, or spreading the word of our move! SEE YA ON ESSEX STREET!

03/15/2024

This weekend marks our final days at 46 Hester St. After that, we’ll be taking a short break to shift to our new digs just a block away at 43 Essex St and announce an opening day. We’ll be pausing adoptions as well until we reopen at the new location.

If you’d like to support us and be among the first to experience our new space during our soft launch, consider donating $30 here or on Givebutter (link in bio), and email us at [email protected]. In return, we’ll send you a link to book a visit between March 28 and April 5! Your feedback and suggestions during this sneak peek phase will be incredibly valuable as we prepare to open our doors to everyone. Plus, if you’re looking to adopt, you’ll have first dibs on the cats available there. We can’t wait to see you there!

03/14/2024

This handsome man is back up for adoption! Gilbert is a 9 month old gentleman who always brings his semi formal attire. He would do best in a house where he can be showered with attention, as he is a chatty lap cat who loves to snuggle and play! We absolutely love having him at the cafe, but it’s time for him to get his own place! Hehe 😆 Want to adopt THE perfect boy? Apply on our website!!

Did you know that February is National Cat Health Month? We’re celebrating with who is sending us a *pallet* of their new antibacterial litter!

Jinx was thrilled to use it before heading to his forever home because it’s the only litter that kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria, and nobody likes a stinky box. (Of course, we - human servants - are still expected to scoop as often as necessary but the kitties think we’re never fast enough!)

Check the link in our bio for a $2 coupon off Cat’s Pride Antibacterial litter: every jug sold donates 2lbs of litter to a shelter or rescue group like Meow Parlour.

“EARLY ACCESS?!?!”
Honey Mustard has been talking our ears off about our donation rewards! He wanted us to tell you that if you email [email protected] and donate $30 towards our new space, you can be among the first few visitors of our brand new Meow Parlour 2.0!
There are many more donation/sponsorship options available too! Check them out on our GiveButter page. Link is in our Instagram bio!
Thank you SO much to all who have helped us get this far.

Lucky you, Duke and Dillon are still available to be your Valentines! Who WOULD’NT want these big sugar bears in their home? Duke (more white) is a head butting, chin scratch loving, and hilarious man. Dillon (more grey) has baby brother energy and adores belly rubs and face smooshes. They are both super chill guys. These two have been in our care for far too long and deserve a home where they can stretch out and love on their people! Apply to adopt them on our website. You WON’T regret it ❤️

In 2020, during the peak of the pandemic when Meow Parlour had to temporarily close its doors and remote adoptions became the norm, found temporary refuge with . He successfully won over his new family through a virtual meeting on Zoom, and was officially adopted shortly afterward.

Last December, Mr. Bobbles' adopters shared their heartwarming story of how he positively impacted their lives with .

Their tale resonated so strongly that it became a finalist, resulting in not only a shopping spree and shoes for Mr. Bobbles and his family, but also in crucial funding for Meow Parlour, supporting our life-saving endeavors.

Congrats , and thank you !!

If you have adopted your cat with us and would like to share your story to help us save more cats, please contact us!

Big boy alert! Meet Jinx and Zen! These gentlemen are 12 and 14 years old and still have so much love to give.
Jinx (grey, 12) is a big BABY who loves to be held and cuddled. He sleeps with his people and is not afraid to headbutt his way into your arms ❤️
Zen (black & white, 14) is a total momma’s boy according to his foster. He likes to get under the covers with his human and often gets the zoomies and chases his tail! How’s that for 14?!

Sweet seniors like these deserve to live out their golden years in a loving home. We doubt you’d regret adopting these big sugar bears. Apply on our website! ❤️

Peppercorn had to take off her glasses-she couldn’t believe her eyes that we broke our own record this January! We’ve adopted out 47 cats in one month! That’s about 1/6 of our adoptions for all of last year! Thank you to everyone who has made this possible. Onward and upward! If you want to help us continue to grow this number, visit our website to make a reservation, apply to adopt, and donate to our upcoming expansion!

01/30/2024

Baby sure is happy to be home! And so are Minerva and Morgana, Ctrl and Alt, and Delete. Also- had to include a special shout out to who continue to steal our hearts 8 months after their adoption!

We are so grateful to have sent these to loving forever homes! If you’d like to be a part of our expansion and help even more cats, you can head to our bio, donate to our GiveButter page, and find out more about our upcoming move!

Can you believe that Backspace and his million toes are still available for adoption? We have had so many adoptions this week, he is actually the only visible cat available now (more info on our shy newbies coming up soon!).

We have new cats coming in the next few days, but if you’re hoping to adopt or if you’re visiting to have fun with the cats, please bear with us as they may need some time to adjust to their new surroundings. You can check our adoptable cats on the website.

If you’re in NYC and would like to see a movie with a cat, click the link in our bio! You’ll be able to get a first come, first serve pass to the NYC advance screening of Argylle:

“Bryce Dallas Howard is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aidan (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.”

- When: Tuesday, January 30th at 7pm
- Where: Regal Union Square
(entry is not guaranteed, so arrive early!)

As usual, January is a busy month at Meow Parlour!

Congrats to Noah, Tater and Tot, Midas and Medusa, Morgana and Minerva, and James who all went home this weekend. Thanks to all these adoptions, we have space for more rescue cats to come in so we have many new residents who are ajusting to their new surroundings. You can always check our adoptable cats on our website (link in profile).

01/21/2024

Fresh crop of kittens came in today, straight from and ‘s!
Congrats on graduating from your foster home, something tells us it won’t be too long before you find forever families.

01/17/2024

Who will help us fold laundry when Medusa goes home?

01/10/2024

Meet Zen, another older gentleman who is currently living the life with Jinx.

Zen is 14 years old and more of a sensitive soul, he takes a little while to warm up but once he does he is very affectionate. He may not have Jinx’ self-confidence, but he knows how to give nudges when he wants attention!

He is also ok with being held, and likes to play with toys on his own. All in all, he’s a very considerate guest at his current foster home and would make a sweet and low-key companion.

If you’re interested in meeting Zen, submit an application online (link in bio).

01/09/2024

We do have a lot of kittens at the café, but we also have two seniors available for adoption in a foster home!

Let’s start with Jinx who is a giant cuddly teddy bear. In the words of his foster family, he is deeply affectionate, friendly and confident. He loves people, even strangers, and will flop on your lap to snuggle. He is at his happiest when he receives kisses and pets.

In a true 14-year-old gentleman fashion, he snores and grunts in his sleep, and also purrs frequently and loudly.

Jinx eats prescription urinary care food, but is otherwise a healthy senior.

Interested in meeting our senior kitties? Submit an adoption application online (link in profile).

01/08/2024

Falkor doing his best lucky dragon impression!

We only have kittens for adoption at the café right now (so if you want lots of action, now is a good time to visit!). We’ll make sure to feature adult cats who can be adopted solo as soon as they come in.
