SHOP FOR TREASURES * SHOP FOR GOOD
Browse new and gently used clothes, fashion accessories, jewelry, housewares, pet items, framed art, home décor, collectibles, gifts, and other thoughtfully curated treasures. You'll get the feel of boutique shopping, with the added benefit of knowing your purchase helps care for animals and gives found treasures an extended life.
New items come in every day, and go out just about as fast. We don't hold items or sell on line, so if you see something -- buy it! You'll find great prices, and a friendly staff.
Of course, we're pet friendly, so stop by with your pal and become a part of our thrifting community. Treats for pets; treasures for their pals.
Follow us on social media to keep up-to-date on new items, events and programs.
THRIFTY KITTY GIFT CARDS
The perfect gift for any occasion for every bargain hunter and thrift store shopper -- The gift of thrift.
Shopping at The Thrifty Kitty, you keep discarded items out of landfills and help animals in need.
DONATE
We're always looking for exciting new items, so the next time you need to re-home a well-loved treasure, please consider The Thrifty Kitty! We make it easy for you with on-line appointments and parking lot drop-off.
PLANTS * LIGHTING * HOME FURNISHINGS
We've added live plants to our inventory of garden and home accessories, and a curated collection of small furnishings, lighting, and objects d'art to create complete home environments. Your imagination is your only limitation -- find a plant, then find the perfect place for it. Just think -- you'll be re-homing a cast-off AND adding beauty and character to your home.
A WELL-CURATED BOOK SECTION
Move over, Amazon. Thrifty Kitty's book section is regularly updated to include Amazon best sellers using the same criteria of title requests. Up until recently arranged by colors of the rainbow, but we went to the alphabetized system for easier search. And at $4 for a hardcover best seller including cookbooks, $3 for paperbacks and kids' books, and a buck for comics, you can't beat the prices. Puzzles and games for the whole family.
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AND CURIOSITIES
We are fortunate to have many donors who choose The Thrifty Kitty to donate their fine art, collectibles, jewelry and accessories. From Italian glassware to "ugly pottery," whimsical frogs to music boxes, you'll often find a treasure someone has passed along for a good cause.
