I work from home and am really interested in finding a place to go during the day to change up my scenery. I've used places in the past, but most places are too expensive. I'm not really looking for anything other than a comfortable place with WiFi that isn't a coffee shop. Thanks!
Hi all,
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!
We’re looking for a forever home for Beddy, a sweet 2 year old calico girl that is currently in foster. Beddy is spayed, vaccinated, and FeLV/FIV negative. Beddy was found when a kind neighbor noticed her on the street in a box and began feeding her. They posted about her in the Crown Heights subreddit, and then I saw the post and reached out to Court Street Cats. Court Street Cats went to the location the Reddit post said she was at and lo and behold there she was (the corner of St. Marks & Bedford hence her name Beddy)! She was very easy to trap with food, and then I posted in the Crown Heights subreddit looking for a foster and a wonderful person stepped up and has had Beddy for the last 3 months. Beddy is really a Reddit cat rescue and I’m hoping this community can help us find her a home to make her story full circle. Below is some information about Beddy’s personality written by her foster mom.
Beddy is an extremely playful, curious, and sweet Calico. Despite starting off afraid and unsure, she has warmed up tremendously and will follow you from room to room to investigate what you’re up to, and then loaf by your side. She will occasionally leave you to perch on the window sill, her favorite spot in any apartment. Beddy loves treats and with patience you can easily win her over with them! She also loves to play, run, and jump! Any toys with catnip in them, a long ribbon or a wand toy with a big fluffy feather attached are extremely alluring to her. Once you bond, whenever Beddy wants attention she will roll over on her back until you give her head and chin scratches.
Overall, Beddy is extremely friendly, playful, and cute. She will grow on you, but she does have an initial scared and shy side! Give her a few weeks to acclimate to a new environment and with love, patience and treats you will easily win her heart and loyalty. Beddy will need time to adjust to her new home, and starting her in a bathroom or another small space would be best for her! We’re looking someone who won’t just write her off because it takes her a couple of weeks to get comfortable. Beddy has been doing fine as a solo cat but is so friendly and playful that she could probably warm up to a companion cat with proper slow introductions.
You can see some of Beddy’s journey on the rescuer’s instagram

If you’re interested in setting up a meet and greet with Beddy, please fill out an adoption application first (it’s not a commitment to adopt, rather a demonstration of your intentions) and the rescuer Ashley of Court St Cats will be in touch and get you in touch with the foster to set up a time for you to meet Beddy. Just a heads up that Beddy may be shy/hiding if you go to visit.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!! Please share this post with anyone you know that might be looking to adopt a cat! If you can’t adopt and don’t know anyone looking to adopt, your upvotes and comments help to get this post seen by more people and up the chance of Beddy being seen by her forever person so they’re all very appreciated.
Hi! Posting in case anyone has seen it:
I lost a gold hoop earring on July 4th - I was walking on from Nostrand, up Jefferson to get to the Franklin S train shuttle.
I either lost it on my walk to the station or on the train. I took the Franklin S to Prospect Park Q and got off at Ocean Parkway and then Coney Island.
The earring has engravings on the side. It has a lot of sentimental value to me and was a gift from my mom. If anyone has found it, I’m happy to offer $$ as a reward.
Thank you!
Attempting to track down a package that was misdelivered by FedEx. Supposed to end up by Nostrand // Clifton. Delivered on Friday around 11 am. Any help identifying this address or stoop would be greatly appreciated!
some random guy stole my friend’s bike from in front of his apartment last week. he didn’t even ride away on it, he connected it to the back of the bike he was on! was covered in scarves so my friend couldn’t see his face.
if you see it around, please dm @laquanndawson on ig!
is anyone else’s voltage still reduced? Got an email from ConEd yesterday that our power had been restored to normal but our lights are still dim and AC isnt working as well still.
just wanted to commiserate before calling them 😓
We get it fireworks make you feel manly and like you have something to show off. But after the 100th one, can’t that be enough? Animals and sick/sleeping people need their peace - it’s pretty pathetic stuff honestly.
Hi all! I am looking to expand my growing catering & hospitality business and Brooklyn is... expensive. Does anyone have suggestions on grants or low interest private loans for small hospitality businesses? Any and all suggestions are welcomed. Thank you so much!
First i noticed the benches gone earlier this week and today I saw some men doing construction on the interior hauling away materials. shut down for good? will the benches come back? :(
Moving to bed stuy in July - anybody have any favorite places/ businesses I can support? I love a third space!
Hi everyone, I'm new to the neighborhood and was curious about seeing the 4th of July fireworks over the East River. Specifically, I'm wondering which spots make the most sense for someone living along the J in terms of walkability (I get the impression that it's not a great idea to rely on public transit immediately before/after the event). Thanks for your help :)
So, as someone currently struggling to feed myself, at the mercy of paychecks from consultants who don’t want to pay you, the community fridge outside of Botani on Lewis have been a godsend. SNAP runs out, food pantries are a coin toss, but there are always amazing samaritans in the community, making sure these fridges are stocked. I’ve only ever dropped off canned goods that I don’t want, or grains that I won’t eat, but Felfel in particular, I noticed, provides balanced meals that will actually feed the community. (Couldn’t pay my internet before Verizon shut it off, so I spent a few hours working at Botani, and was so grateful to be able to grab their beef/ pork lasagna with a salad as a lunch to heat at home!)
It’s not just Felfel, I went back to Botani close to 11pm to try to pay my Verizon bill again, and this wonderful woman jumped out of a car and stocked the area with mostly non-perishables, keeping in mind of the heatwave. She even left a bunch of s’mores ingredients in time for Fourth of July! Passersby in the neighborhood were so happy that she did that and that they got to talk to her, and hear that she would be right back there tomorrow. I personally hate sweets, but to even have someone contribute to a community in that way during the holiday season actually made me cry from joy. I didn’t talk to her because I would’ve started crying, but it was such an incredible thing to see. I’ll just say now, to the adorable, short, white lady in the bandanna with those fresh direct bags… Thank you for letting me witness such a beautiful thing, while I simply try to pay my bills. Thank you for being a star in this community.
(Also the person who provided all the smoked trout and smoked salmon during the day, I’m glad I stopped by before the hoarders (who I won’t judge), for such a pricey treat filled with omega-3s! 😬)
And quite frankly, anyone that does contribute. Whether it’s a bunch of zucchinis, or premade meals, or Staples to enjoy the holiday weekend, thank you so much for thinking about those in the community that are struggling. ♥️
Happy fourth, everyone!

I walked by The Spot cafe yesterday and saw a sign posed on the door that it was closed for operating without a permit. One of the only coffee spots near me :/
