    The Thrifty Kitty is a thrift store operated by Friends of Alameda Animals Shelter (FAAS). they specialize in cat adoptions. this small store offers books, antiques, women's clothes, jewelry, glassware, etc. in peak condition. everything is displayed expertly, store is uber clean. prices are competitive... sad, i didn't find anything. i basicly consume but don't collect anything..

    Date: 7/15/2021 Time: 3:15 PM 65° Sunny The Thrifty Kitty is located where J Couture used to be. I found out about this business through a sponsored ad on Facebook. Friends of Alameda Animals Shelter (FAAS) is the organization operating this thrift store. They have been opened since July 1, which is about two weeks ago. After seeing the ad, I decided to browse and see what kind of items they were selling. Wow! All their merchandize is beautifully displayed. I am totally impressed. There is an assortment of tops, blouses, slacks, dresses, scarves, women's accessories (jewelry, purses), household items. The Longchamps 6-pc. crystal glasses were nice to look at. However, I have no place in my home for storing them. Yes, I did see something I like very much - a cream colored canvas tote bag for my shopping needs - and the price was reasonable ($12 plus tax). The bag had my name on it (just kidding) and I was not leaving Thrifty Kitty empty handed. After paying for it, a donation was placed in the birdcage next to the front counter. I love this thrift store since it is within walking distance from my home. Oh, it is so convenient and a neat place to visit and shop. There will be future visits. *Shop is opened Tuesdays through Saturdays, 12 PM to 4 PM.

    We found a great combo for our mannikin ... and no sooner was it on then...

    OK - Full disclosure: I volunteer here and must share the love of the thrift. Our manager is an expert at curating the donations we receive, and the volunteer staff creates our boutique look. Check out our recent finds for the season. It's so fun working here and hanging with the thrifters of all ages. Open Tuesday - Saturday 11-4 Net proceeds benefit Alameda Animal Shelter
