Great store, extremely friendly staff and high quality selection. They have a generous $5 section for affordable options. Love this store.

I continue to be amazed at the unique pieces of clothing and jewelry, and the incredibly reasonable prices. I bring friends and family visiting NYC here, and recommend to anyone visiting, or looking for high quality and excellent brands. All for a great cause. Body positive staff—no judgment! ❤️

The BEST place to get clean and beautiful bargains! The manager, Cathryn, doesn’t allow damaged or soiled goods. I’ve been donating to them and shopping in Cauz for Pawz since they opened and they have excellent prices and beautiful merchandise!

This was a great thrift experience ! The items are curated and they are good quality. Fair prices too. I purchased an amazing Ferragamo suit, which was an unexpected treasure. The store was clean & the manager was friendly. I’ll be back!

Cauz for Pawz charity shop feeds more than 550 cats and dogs daily by supplying rescue groups throughout the 5 boroughs as well as their in store pet pantry! They are OPEN FOR DONATIONS ONLY from noon to 6pm Monday - Friday. So if you are spring cleaning it's a great cauz. They also are offering a special coupon on their website 'buy now and shop later' where you get more for your buck!

Im a new resident in community. I have gone to the thrift store prior times . My experience has not been good. I overlooked the blant difference treatment of some customers . I had my last time patronizing the shop on 6/4/2023. i will spend my money some other place . Just never there again . I’ll donate to aspca for the sheltered pets . Customers beware .

Dont bring valuables, jewelry or expensive stuff here! Manager catherine used to work at the goodwill. Ive donated some very nice things there that never made it out to actual customers. Where did they go?! Catherine's apt is probably loaded with goods from this shop now too. This "charity" has low ratings from charity rating sites. If she really loved animals would she be keeping the best stuff? Because it never makes it out at this shop either! Where does it vanish to? If you want to help animals donate to aspca or a no kill shelter, not cathy's fake shop it feels like an emotionalploy to lure folks to donate their valuables. Shame. She has a terrible attitude too!

Went to this store for the first time today. It's small but crammed with a lot of cool/affordable accessories and clothing! I found a cute cropped jean jacket with silver fringe on it, which luckily was something I was looking for. I also support the cause of this business. I will definitely come back.

Obsessed with this store. Best thrift shop in NYC and I stand by that claim. I’ve never left empty handed and the prices are beyond reasonable. I’m there once a month to check out new additions. Also, everyone who works there is absolutely lovely. Couldn’t say enough good things

Several weeks ago I donated several pieces of artwork and several bags of high-quality clothing to this shop. Catherine eagerly sent someone to pick up the stuff but didn't give me a receipt. When I contacted her, she said she was too busy to send a receipt to me. I had to go to the store to get the receipt, and she was so nasty about it. Her reaction made me wonder if she is legitimately working for the animals. I think she's skimming the best stuff for herself. I'll never donate to her again.

We have found the Owner, Catherine and the people working there to be most appreciative of all the merchandise that is donated to this very worthy cause. They work non stop to ensure that the abandoned and homeless animals are well taken care of. It is a pleasure to work with Catherine because we know the merchandise and proceeds go to the right place.

This store is clean neat & organized. The prices are great! The cauz even greater! There will always be haters who only find fault. They are not aware of all the work, the endless hours, the decisions on going. There seems to be little awareness on the part of the hagglers that the staff is working under the direction of A Board Of Directors & that they are final AND being watched over the store cameras as well as being audio taped, all .24 x 7. On their home computers & phones at any given time, these members are supervising the store. Workers will be asked to leave if they haggle. They can not change the prices & must abide by the rules of this terrific organization. Haters will always hate.

Ms. Katherine and Ms. Rose made me feel so welcomed! I got to tell you, these ladies are Powerful ✨ The jewelry, the original tagged fashions from the 1980’s and early 90’s are outstanding! I am moving to London soon, yet wish that I could take these ladies with me! 😘xxx

Super cool thrift shop, they donate part of their income to NGOs that help animals, so it's double rewarding to go shopping there. I bought a beautiful clutch for 13$ which was perfect for a wedding outfit I had. The staff is very kind and helpful.

This is the best possible store you can imagine. Not only do they have lovely designer dresses and other apparel at very low prices, they support Animal Welfare with the proceeds! And Katherine, the owner, is a sweetheart!

A nice little thrift store, with a chill, family-operated feel to it. As someone who visits thrift stores primarily to peruse the CD sections for old computer games, I've occasionally found some cool things on my weekly visits before work - but if you're just looking for other things - they have plenty of this and that.My only complaint is a bit minor. On the CD shelf, most of the jewel cases are taped shut, for reasons I understand perfectly (Hoodlums coming in and swiping CDs from cases is quite a problem in the neighboring Goodwill store) - but I'd like to be able to inspect discs before buying them, to check if they've been scratched to hell or not. I've never actually asked a staff member about this though...

I visited the thrift shop on the 18th Oct whilst I was in NY for few days, staff are very pleasant and Daisy came to greet me at the door. I found branded clothing in very good condition for low price, very satisfied tourist :)

It’s a very nice shop with many high end women clothes. The owner is a charming woman! Best part is it’s connection to charity for animals. Top notch.

Cute little store with a great cause. Unlike most thrift stores it is organized and extremely clean. Also there are often sales and some profits go towards animal causes so definitely a place I recommend.
