Looks so sad. I think the owner is there too but he yells when you walk by. The dog is a brown and white pit puppy cowering in a box. Saw it this weekend out on the hottest day of the year too.
Is there anything we can do?
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.
Have a lot, and want to give it to a good cause.
none of the closest to me do not sell sushi :( sometimes I want cheap sushi that I don’t have to walk 30 mins for in the heat. anyone know of any very close to Utica Ave?
Hi all, been in Crown Heights since 2013 and with the recent trend of WFH and people leaving the city the social circle has gotten much smaller. I've been talking to my partner about wanting to meet more local people and I've seen a mix of events posted here throughout the years so I'm curious as to what's active still? I've seen board game clubs, walking groups. Etc...
Anyone have anymore info?
What bars or restaurants have the best frozen drinks? Not something I order regularly but with the heat I feel it’s calling to me
That storm last night made a mess of the park. Giant tree branches are down everywhere and it looks like a tornado hit. I hope no one was hurt.
Hey, everyone
No bs.. heatwave's coming and everyone's gonna be pretty miserable pretty soon..
Know your surroundings for things like pools, splash pads, fountains, anywhere to cool off.
Just share fore everyone's awareness. If you prefer to do regular Google searches, NYC Parks webs or other means that's fine.
But here some consolidation for you. All the city data in one place. No jumping around just pull it up and see what's near you.
So,
Obviously if you don't need it, don't use it. But if you're gonna be out there the next few days, might as well not waste time hunting. you're not losing anything by trying it out.
Stay hydrated, stay cool. <- Check out if you want.
Any recs on places where I can buy fresh scotch bonnet peppers????
So tired of getting near missed by bikers and scooters on the pedestrian side of eastern parkway. I think the fix is to put small speed bumps on the pedestrian side. Small enough you can step over it but if on a bike or scooter you’d have to slow down or wreck yourself.
I know they already set up one side of easterns walkways so there isn’t a lip to get bikers to get the hint that this is the walker side but that doesn’t work so I think more infrastructure (per their requests) is necessary. If not speed bumps then maybe we petition for cops on bikes patrolling the walkway giving the 2 wheeled speed demons tickets. Open to other suggestions on how to deal with bikers misusing pedestrian space
Edit:
As usual in any bike related thread bicyclists pass all their bad behavior off on pedestrians and cars. Because obviously it’s pedestrians fault that bikers don’t use the bike lanes and everyone knows the majority of people are bikers in this city and it’s the pedestrians that are dangerous, not the people on motorized 2 wheelers going 4x the pedestrians speed
Block Hill Station’s got you! 718 5th Ave between 22nd and 23rd Street. We got brand new AC’s going. $5 Refajos, five screens, sound on, free popcorn and good vibes. Stay cool, neighbors!
Either in the neighborhood unless you know of someone elsewhere. I’m looking to get a bridesmaids dress tailored, it’s not of the best quality but I’m willing to pay a good price for a tailor who can work with it.
