Trader K’s pride itself on looking through each and every piece of clothing that comes in to make sure you get the best selection, quality and prices it have to offer. Trader K’s and Trader K’s 2 have grown to be known and loved as two of the largest independently-owned used clothing stores in New York State. Starting two decades ago with a modest, 900-square-foot store on the outskirts of the Commons, the local owners have since moved the bustling business to a sprawling, 4,000-plus-square-foot central Commons storefront and opened Trader K’s 2, an equally large second boutique to serve the Lansing and Cayuga Heights neighborhoods. The cafe not only provides delicious drinks & fare, but also supports BCR and its cause.įor 23 years, Trader K’s – located on the beautiful Ithaca Commons – has been buying, selling and trading gently-used clothing and accessories to the Ithaca community and beyond. Not only do we get cat-lovers, but we get coffee-lovers too! Amazing things happen when the two are combined, and the smiles left on peoples’ faces is so worth it to us. Our mission is to create a sense of community a place for people to come together with a common interest. We also have been asked why BCR chose a cat cafe instead of an adoption center. The concept since then has been popularized in many other countries – from Austria, Scotland, Canada, Australia and much much more! All over the world now, people seek the comfort of cats at cat cafes. By working with committed foster parents, local veterinarians, and members of the community, we can empower feral cat colony keepers, and find loving adoptive homes for rescued cats.īCR brings adoptable rescued kitties to the cafe, where they can socialize with people and other cats alike, and meet their future forever parent! It’s been a great way to spread awareness of cats in the community, as well as get these little ones the attention and homes they deserve.ĭid you know the first ever cat cafe was in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1998? From there it spread to Japan, and quickly became popular since many people live in small homes that can’t house a cat. Volunteers create awareness within the community, and educate people of the importance of spaying and neutering. BCR is a volunteer run organization that focuses on unwanted and abandoned cats in Ithaca and its surrounding areas. They come from Browncoat Cat Rescue! AKA, BCR. One of our most common questions is, “Where do the cats come from?”
