There's a few locations scattered throughout the valley and each obviously offer different items. Cat City location is literally off the 111 with a good amount of parking out front. We popped in for a wander and to see what they have today. It's been a little while since I was last here so it was fun to see what is offered now. I'm not sure what day they bring out items or it could be daily depending on what was offered. As you walk in, cashier is right in-front of you and the right side is where the homeware are located. Kitchen items as well the lamps and accessories. If walk around, you'll continue to furniture and rugs. This store also carries new items which are pretty nice. A good selection of MCM furniture on display. Of course there's bedding and so on. One side is where furniture and accessories are located. MCM furniture in the middle behind cashiers and to the left is where the clothing, shoes and books are located. Just like any secondhand/thrift store, have fun browsing the racks. Everything was organized and coded by colored tags. They also had a couple of racks where specials were offered for a very good deal. Who doesn't love a little bargain...lol... Home wares items was quite nice to browse. You could get pretty lucky and find whole sets of dishes and so on. The staff were all very friendly and lovely. This location was quite decent in size.

The quality of the items is impressive, and the store is well organized, which makes browsing enjoyable. That said, the pricing feels more like a boutique than a thrift store. While I understand that proceeds go toward a good cause, I often leave empty‑handed because the prices are just too high for what I'd expect at a thrift. For me, part of the joy of thrifting is finding something wonderful and feeling like I scored a bargain -- not like I overpaid. If you don't mind paying a lot more, you'll likely find unique and quality pieces here. But if you're hunting for that classic thrift‑store bargain, be prepared that prices may not match the typical thrifting experience.

Recently, I drove to the La Mesa store with a car full of donations during a very heavy rainstorm. I pulled up to the marked donation drop-off door but was told I could not park there and needed to move across the lot, get a cart, and bring everything in myself. I explained that i was not parking, I am handicapped and offloading since it was pouring rain, but was still told no. I ended up leaving without donating or shopping. As a loyal supporter of FJV, I was very disappointed by the lack of understanding and outright rudness.
