The Secret Kings of New York: Bodega Cats

6/16/2024

0 Comments

 
All New Yorkers are used to spotting a cat lounging around the corner deli or perched on a stack of potato chip bags—because most bodegas have a resident Bodega Cat! These furry citizens of the Big Apple have been part of the city’s landscape for decades, quietly keeping the rodent population in check while stealing the hearts of customers.
​
Bodega cats have become one of New York City’s most beloved urban symbols. Entire Instagram accounts are dedicated to their portraits—one of our favorites is @bodegacatsofinstagram, which has been sharing amazing snapshots of these furry shopkeepers since 2012. Their expressions range from regal to mischievous, and each cat adds a special character to the store they “manage.”

Of course, not everyone is a fan. City health regulations technically prohibit pets in businesses that sell food. But ask any bodega owner, and most will tell you it’s worth risking a fine to have a loyal cat on the team—better a cat than mice. Customers often agree: a bodega without a cat feels like it’s missing some of that New York soul.

At Kitty in NY, we know how important your feline companion is to your daily life—whether it’s a bodega kitty you visit on your block or your own cat waiting at home. If you need to leave the city for a few days or even weeks, we can help you find the best solution for your cat.
  • Boarding service – Perfect for longer trips. You bring your cat to the caregiver’s apartment, where he or she will be the only pet. Your kitty enjoys a safe, quiet environment and the caregiver’s full attention.
  • Cat sitting visits – Ideal for shorter getaways. A caregiver visits your apartment to feed, clean, and play with your cat. You’ll receive regular updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and cared for.
Contact us and tell us more about your needs—we’ll be glad to help. Just like the city wouldn’t be the same without its bodega cats, your home won’t be complete without your own cat feeling safe and loved.
