At Brooklyn Cat Cafe, we are proud to be one of the earliest cat cafes in the US, and the first to launch in New York City’s most populous borough. Our mission is to save our city’s cats, and we advance it by offering a hip and inviting destination where cat lovers of all ages can interact with adoptable animals – and one another – while learning about pet rescue and care together too.

Film buffs we are ready for you! Watch a movie with the most well-acclaimed feline film critics around! Come watch Fantastic Mr. Fox with us on a large projector in a cozy, private room of the Brooklyn Cat Cafe, surrounded by cats. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase, and the cats are practicing their best gasps, cheers, and tears to be ready for the movie.🍿🎥🎬

Our showing of Fantastic Mr. Fox is on Friday, November 22nd. The event is 5:30–7:00PM, and the film will begin at 5:45PM. The cats look forward to seeing everyone (especially Tabitha, pictured above, who is trying to make her acting debut). What movie should we show next month?

Kittens may be adorable, but they are very fragile and require around the clock care. Want to help us save more kittens? Donate, foster, or volunteer today!❤️

Happy National Black Cat Day!🖤 Do you want to adopt a black cat? Well, you’re in luck because we have an abundance! Every size, age, and variety of black cat you could imagine!

You may be thinking..why should I adopt a black cat? Well, adopting a black cat means you always have a mini panther at home. Also, if you’re like most New Yorkers, you probably wear a lot of black. If you adopt a black cat, say goodbye to visible fur on your clothes! Black cats also are sleek and sophisticated, so everyone will probably think you’re really cool by association.😎

Most of these cats are males. Why? It’s actually more rare for black cats to be female. Black cats are genetically predisposed to be male, like how calicos are likely to be female!

1. Barnabas (one of our longest residents, he doesn’t love other cats, and would really love to find a home ASAP!)
2. Sophia
3. Bask Blake
4. Marvin the Marcy
5. Buick Blake
6. Tatl
7. Two-Step Tompkins
8. Just in Time Chester

Adopt a house panther of your own today!🐱

From Dominica ➡️ BK

An update on the cats from Dominica!🌴 Thank you for support in getting these cats off the island. Due to the overwhelming needs of shelters affected by hurricanes in the southern U.S., the rescue hasn’t been able to arrange a full flight of animals. Instead, they’re sending one cat at a time, as “flight angels” volunteer to transport them. Our first new friend is this sweet boy, Charm!🍀

Charm is an incredibly sweet and social boy who apparently had his leg cut off by a restaurant owner for stealing food. Despite this, you can see he is still incredibly trusting and loving. Welcome to the family, Charm.❤️

Our Story

Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition (BBAWC) was founded by a group of animal rescuers in 2007 with a focus on improving the welfare of abandoned animals in Brooklyn. The organization began working with individual animal rescuers to provide low cost veterinary services, adoption listing and screening services.

Finding foster homes for rescued cats and those accepted from city shelters became the organization’s top priority — but it was a major struggle without a central facility where rescuers, foster families and potential adoptees could meet together. The organization launched The Brooklyn Cat Cafe to address this need.

The cafe opened in May 2016 at a storefront location in historic Brooklyn Heights.

Brooklyn Cat Cafe is 100% volunteer-run, managed by the Director of BBAWC who oversees the business affairs, cat care regimen, and daily operations at the cafe. A team of volunteers serves at the cafe during open hours and prepares and cleans after hours. A supervisor certified in aspects of cat care is on site during all open hours.
