    Had an AMAZING foster experience with these two giant babies!!! Rescue City made the process so…read moreseamless and convenient. They provide you with all the supplies, resources, and support throughout and even a "saying goodbye" pdf for when it's time to send them to their forever home. I was able to meet the family adopting my fosters, and it's clear that RC did their research on finding a perfect fit :) couldn't recommend them enough!

    I would avoid this rescue at all costs. We adopted a dog in 2023 through this shelter and the…read moreexperience was terrible. We were pressured to commit to a dog, told we had less than a few days to organize his pickup, and couldn't even MEET the dog beforehand. We were told he: was great in the car, loved people, was so friendly, was low energy. He's a working breed and is very high energy, has intense separation anxiety, is terrible in a car and needs to be medicated to even be in a car (probably because he came from out of state and had a traumatic experience arriving to NY), and is only affectionate with us. He was also "hard" to take photos of him so they couldn't provide us more than 3. We asked if we could do a foster to adopt - but because he was already placed in a home we could only adopt him sight unseen. They placed pressure on us to commit in a very short timeframe, otherwise we'd lose our chance at adopting him, which was surely a tactic. In total it cost $750 to rescue our dog, and I love him with my whole heart but he was NOT a friendly easy starter dog like described. The adoption costs are astronomical ($500), they didn't tell us it was a mandatory extra $250 for transport (wouldn't let us pick him up) and his flea and heart worm meds because those weren't included in his adoption fee but were required for us to get him (once we were already emotionally invested). On top of that there was a mandatory care call where the rescue owner basically lectured us for 45 minutes about his care, including insisting we never ever put him in a harness. This is a small 15lb city dog, literally all small dogs I know have harnesses. It was super preachy and not helpful in the slightest. Also: he was allergic to the food they had him on and he has a chicken allergy - surely the people fostering him beforehand should have picked up on that, we clocked it immediately. Shame on this rescue, who exploits potential adopters financially, lies about their animals, and puts immense pressure on you to commit. Let me be clear: I love my dog, but I wouldn't have committed to him and would have considered other options had we met him first and were aware of all of his challenges. I have been told by a friend who fosters that the experience is night and day - fostering is great, but the actual adoption process needs to be worked on. Go somewhere else.

    I've been to this cat cafe a few times and it's always fun! The cats are super social and will run…read moreup to you from anywhere. It's really affordable at $12/adult and even when you add on treats during your visit and donations, it's still pretty cheap. I always leave wanting to bring a little fur friend home, but this visit one cat particularly caught my heart. I didn't catch his name since he didn't have a collar. He was super skittish at first and I could tell he had been through some ROUGH times by the coloring around his mouth and nose. We still got to spend some time together and I got a bunch of snuggles. Always appreciative to BCC and all they do to help these little ones! The walk to the cafe is easy and an be followed up with a stroll down the promenade.

    First time visiting Brooklyn, New York, and I wanted to check out a cat café. This one came up as…read morethe most popular and closest, so I decided to swing by. I went on a weekend. At first, I misheard the lady at the front desk and thought it was $50 for a half hour -- I said I'd think about it and left. Came back a bit later, signed the online waiver, and realized I had misheard her: the price was actually $15 for a half hour. Much better deal. Since this was my first cat café, I was a little nervous. I tried petting an orange tabby near the front window, and it swiped at me -- scratch or bite, not sure -- so I backed off. I spent more time with the friendlier cats and especially loved one named Spider Pig (pictured). That cat was wonderful, and if I were local, I'd have adopted it on the spot. Staff confirmed all cats here are adoptable, which is a big plus. Toward the end of my session, I went back to the orange tabby. I saw another visitor offering their hand, and the cat nibbled without really hurting them. So I did the same: open hand, calm gesture. Sure enough, it bit and scratched me a little -- playful, not painful, no blood. I think maybe it's teething, or just a cat with strong boundaries. Didn't want head pats, but seemed interested in grabbing hands. Overall, a great first-time cat café experience. The price was fair, the nonprofit mission is fantastic, and the fact that all cats are adoptable makes the visit worthwhile beyond just the fun. Spider Pig especially stole the show for me. Five stars. Thank you, Brooklyn Cat Café, for the unique experience. Last visited: August 23, 2025
