It's a happy day for Denis and Mojito who left to start new jobs . Daniel, head brewer, picked the boys up and gifted shelter staff w a case of Finback's "Cat Tails" IPA. Daniel and Bert, both "cat men", set the boys up w new cat beds and good food in a quiet room so they can acclimate to the beer life. Thank you, !!

"But I ordered a beer.". Lou, who just began working as a brewcat at , knows what he wants.
He and his pal Bowie, who came from the city shelter only 3 weeks ago, made fast progress and are already out of their acclimation crates to prowl at night and keep their turf rodent-free. Bowie sleeps during the day. More pix to come.

Bamboo and Mai Tai got dream jobs in W'burg! These 2 guys left the new Queens shelter and settled into the lovely taproom at The Test where Jane and Ben, owner-brewers, welcomed them with open arms. By day 2, Mai Tai was (flirting) slow-blinking at Jane.

Patience & Fortitude. These 2 guys came from a large hoarding situation in Queens. Now they're brewcats, driving (uh, napping on) the forklift in Brooklyn. Stop by Wild East for a beer and cat sighting.

King Elizabeth, Victoria, and April were on NBC's Today Show,, which shows the Hard Hat Cat' journey from city shelter , to steady jobs where the cats thrive. None are royalty when they arrive from difficult circumstances, but soon enough the cats are crowned and get extra treats.
