Updated 5/15: Via the comments, a reader says someone is adopting the two cats.
And as several readers have shared, the store's two cats need a new home in the days ahead.
EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by last night... and confirmed the cats are up for adoption. The store closes for good on Wednesday.
The two cats tend to stay in the basement and are camera-shy ... here's one...
... and the other, as seen in a photo at checkout...
The cats are said to be on the indifferent side (😼). And it sounds as if anyone who adopts them will have naming rights. When asked for their names, store staff said "the cats."
Interested parties may contact Mr. Patel at (914) 433-5394. Or stop by Houston Village Farm.
Meanwhile, the clearance continues here...
Ownership here blamed slow business and high rent for the closure.
