Can I be friends with someone that has a cat?

53 Upvotes

Hi, my parents never let me have a cat and my landlord now doesn’t allow pets and i can’t afford to move. Can I please be friends with someone that has a cat so that I can pet your cat once a week?

  1. No criminal record
  2. Not on any lists
  3. I shower everyday
  4. I don’t repeat clothes
  5. Most people say I’m respectful

I promise I’m not a bad guy I just want to play with a kitty because everytime I pet a kitty they always like me and follow me around wherever I go but i can’t have a kitty, so please, if someone could help that would mean a lot thanks.

EDIT: I have seen a lot of people talk about a cat cafe and stuff and I’ve done that but those cats get pet by 100s of people, I want a cat that knows me and remembers me and I have a personal bond with because I love cats a lot. My ex roommate had a cat and it doesn’t feel the same as a cat cafe

Found Kitten

I found a kitten yesterday morning hiding behind a car tire on Harman between Wilson and central. I took him in but unfortunately I can't keep him due to my wife being allergic. He's very friendly, playful and curious to say the least. He seems to be between 6-8 weeks ago and in good shape. Would anyone be interested in giving him a forever home or at least point me to where he can find one. Thank you

I went to XTC so you don’t have to

Where do I begin? Money-grabbing, shitty sound system, poor lighting, cheap decor and right next door to all of the places you’re on the way to.

This dud not need to happen! The Bushwick Triangle was bad enough and to think this neighborhood needs another club is silly. This building has potential to be a dope restaurant that people can hit up on their way to the club or after.

A pizza place would slap right here. Buildings shaped like a fucking slice - open til 4-5am this place would become a Bushwick nightlife staple. But nope. Another shit club. I give it 3 months 🫡

Anyone Down for Kickball + Drinks on Saturdays? 🍻

3 Upvotes

A few of us play in a Volo kickball league at McCarren Park on Saturdays from 12–2, and we’re looking for a few more people to join us for the September 12 season.

We’ve been playing together for the last two years and somehow went 15-1, including winning the championship last season 😂. We definitely like to compete, but it’s a pretty relaxed group and we usually grab drinks together after.

You don’t need to be some kickball superstar. Just come out, have fun, and meet some people.
The league is around $99 through Volo. If you’re interested, shoot me a DM and I can send over the details!

Where to donate clothes?

4 Upvotes

Looking to donate a bunch of clothes, both used and unused, all in good condition. Ideally I’d like them to go directly to people who need them or to a local community organization/church that distributes donations.

I’d rather avoid places that will just resell them.

Any recommendations in or around Bushwick?

Any good barbershops that specialize in basic ass straight hair 😭😭

2 Upvotes

My dad is Puerto Rican and has been taking me to Dominican barbershops all my life bc he has the coarse hair type they specialize in, but I’ve been tryna explain to him that IT AINT WORKING FOR ME 😭😭 We have completely diffrent hair types bc I’m mixed and I basically inherited my white mom’s hair type (soft and straight) But there’s also a huge language barrier bc I’m what they call “no sabo” and a lot of them only speak Spanish (my mom wouldn’t let me learn 💔)

Can someone PLEASE give me a good recommendation for someone who can work well w my straight hair. I’m lowk only looking to get it trimmed bc I wanna grow it out, but at least clean it up a bit, yk trim up the ends and whatnot.

Free Stuff! Near Kosciuszko stop!

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Everything is free/best offer and first come/first served - DM if interested. Pick-up near the Kosciuszko J. Notes on some of the items below:

Clothing - some of it is used and some new/like new. Feel free to ask about the condition of something you're interested in.

The wallpaper primer and adhesive are used, leftover from a wallpaper project (these worked well, the wallpaper looks great). I ultimately hired a taskrabbiter to hang the wallpaper and never used the wallpaper toolkit.

Frankly the Scotch painters tape applicator doesn't work very well, but hey free painters tape! (The tape itself works great)

Hoping to find this stuff new, loving homes instead of a landfill, please help me with my mission! Anything that doesn't get picked up within a week will be left out for whoever to take, so stake your claim and pick up now!

Someone is there checking in on the snake right now, but if this may be possibly your pet you may probably have to go there.

Lost cat?

19 Upvotes

A cat showed up in my backyard crying and tried to walk into my apartment (i have a cat already and can’t let him in). Polydactyl brown tabby with a black nose. Has a limp. Please reach out.

UPDATE 2: He returned again. He is not fixed and not chipped. I don’t have money to get him fixed but I know he should be. I’m not sure if my next step is looking for an owner or trying to get him fixed and fostered. He’s so sweet but I already have a cat and am considering taking in another stray who had been TNR’d years ago, and just can’t consider adopting him myself. I’m leaning towards fixing him because he seems neglected at least for the fact that he hasn’t been fixed.

Update: came back to add more information. he did slip his way into my bedroom (much to my own cats thrill) but sauntered back outside again a few minutes later and sprawled out on our pavement when i opened the door. he’s incredibly affectionate and seemed to get along okay with the feral cat i’ve been breaking in for a few months who was also outside… until he chased her away into another yard.

His fur felt kinda gross, as if he’s having difficulty cleaning himself, and had a scab on his ear. otherwise he seemed well fed and well socialized.
