Bodegas are New York City institutions. They are the friendly neighborhood corner stores where the owners know their regulars by name. It’s also where you can buy some of the best chopped cheese sandwiches outside of the crowded, touristy areas.
Over the years, bodegas have also become a haven for stray felines. And as you will see in the following photos, they have grown quite comfortable in their new homes, even becoming an attraction for customers.
We’ve collected these photos from the Bodega Cats of Instagram page. If you live in the city, you might recognize one of these little fellas.
