Reader report: Animal Crackers has closed

A reader walked by the family-run pet store on Second Street between First Avenue and Avenue A and was surprised to find it empty this morning ... the reader recalls seeing it open as recently as last week... (In February 2011, the NYPD closed the store for receiving stolen property.)

Any patrons of the store know what happened ...?

By my count, this makes the fourth pet store to close in the East Village in the past year or so...

Zee's Pet Shop is now closed

[Bobby Williams]

Zee's Pet Shop on Avenue B just off East 10th Street had been going out of business for, well, a seemingly really long time...


As of yesterday, the store is officially now closed. I had a post in March 2010 about the space being for lease.

Mikey's on Seventh Street and Furry Land are other recent casualties... I don't own a pet. So, where do people shop these days for pet supplies in the neighborhood?

Animal Crackers busted

The NYPD has busted Animal Crackers, the family-run pet store on Second Street between First Avenue and Avenue A...


There was also an explanatory NYPD sticker noting the store was shut for receiving stolen property ... the sign has since been removed...


Thanks to @Roger_Paw for the tip.
