Shop Cat on Duty

Bluey showed up on the manager's door step Thanksgiving morning, very skinny and dirty. After eating turkey with the manager's four year old daughter, we knew that Bluey deserved a forever home with us at the shop!

She joined the staff as a full time resident guard cat in December 2022. She loves children and people- loves ear scratches and playing with her cat wand. Have a purrr-sonal shopping experience with Bluey at your side! 

Due to surviving on the streets, Bluey is learning to heal from her trauma of having to live in constant flight or fight. She is prone to hissing at large dogs when they first come in. Please keep all pooches on leash when visiting us. She is learning to stay in her tree when dogs come by. Our well-trained and informed staff will help Bluey go to her tree, if you come in and she hisses. Please just give us a sec!

(SHE LOVES CHILDREN AND MEN!)

Allergic to cats? No worries! We vacuum daily and sanitize all store surface areas to minimize the irritation. If you are concerned about having a reaction, we will gladly do curbside pick up or scheduled virtual shopping at your convenience.
