What do you love about Alameda?
I love how Alameda feels like a close-knit community, where everyone knows and supports each other. Even in between businesses the sense of togetherness is truly special, whether it's at local events or just neighbors helping each other out.
Why did Thrifty Kitty open a business in Alameda?
FAAS opened Thrifty Kitty not only to further financially support the shelter’s efforts to save local animals but also to reduce waste through the sale of secondhand goods. It provides an additional venue for engaging with the community and fostering awareness of the FAAS mission. I became the Store Manager to enhance Thrifty Kitty's impact, bringing decades of experience in animal welfare and a closet full of thrifted treasures!
What is one thing you would like people to know about Thrifty Kitty?
You can shop, donate, and volunteer with us! There is more than one way to support FAAS through Thrifty Kitty.
What's a fun-fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that over 85% of my home and wardrobe are thrifted, even my cat Doris has secondhand treasures!
