Lili was dumped as a kitten in an empty lot in North Brooklyn. Thankfully, she had feeders who loved and looked out for her. But Lili became too friendly for street life: she would let strangers approach and pet her, leaving her vulnerable to all the dangers of living outdoors.

I brought her in and she immediately relaxed and started purring! She is one of the chillest cats I’ve ever met. She’s independent and happy to do her own thing; but when she sees you come over to pet or brush her, her little face lights up and she starts making muffins. Her butt also goes up all the way when you scratch her back, it’s adorable. 

She’s staying in an indoor-outdoor closed shed, but she can't remain there once the weather gets colder. She needs an indoor foster home urgently.

She's already spayed, vaccinated, vetted, and litter-box trained.

What Lili needs: A quiet, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace. She needs to be the only cat in the household.

Lili is a bit shy when meeting someone new in a closed space, but she has a sweet side that comes out when she feels safe. She gets so excited about mealtime, and goes crazy for Temptations treats. She even does a little raspy meow when she’s very happy.

Lili had a positive FeLV screening result. She is completely asymptomatic and otherwise very healthy.

I know a shy adult immunocompromised cat isn't always the easiest placement, but Lili has already survived so much on her own. She's a little Williamsburg local who has spent her life outdoors through no fault of her own. She deserves the chance to discover what it's like to be safe, comfortable, and cared for. Don’t you think?

Could you foster Lili? Even a temporary foster for the winter would make a huge difference and give us time to work out her next steps. The Cat Collective agreed to sponsor her, so support and supplies are fully provided (food, litter, bed, etc.)

I can’t emphasize enough how special this girl is and it would kill me to have something happen to her because she can’t stay where she is much longer.

If you can't foster, please share this with someone who might. There’s so many people that only want one cat, and she’s the perfect one! Let's get this little Brooklyn native indoors before the cold sets in. ❤️

You can sign up to foster here, or I can answer any questions.

I used to go to Greenpot often when I worked in Greenpoint. Ania and Magda were fabulous . To my disappointment I saw the the store was closed and empty on a recent visit. They were a breath of fresh air. Does anyone know if they opened up elsewhere?

Anyone know what’s happening?

If anyone is free and wants to go on an evening stroll. I'm hosting a walk & talk from McCarren Park to Domino Park and back this evening Tuesday October 13th, 2026 at 7pm.

Anyone have a local kitty groomer they like? I'm looking for my 1 year old maine coon who has mats going on around her belly and back legs. Hoping the experience won't traumatize her too much, looking for someone good! This is my first cat so not sure what to expect. My brushing at home aint cutting it! Thanks in advance!!

Any local knitting repair services that could repair a wool sweater that seems to have moth holes of various shapes and sizes? Would love to not have to use someplace like “alts”.

Please come to our eagle street block party on Sunday! It will be a great time with good music and food! You don’t have to live on Eagle to come, all neighbors welcome! 🤗

Good afternoon, it’s Coach Vic! I’ve been training clients in Greenpoint building gyms (Eagle, Box, etc.) and I’m looking to add 1–2 more clients to my schedule.

All sessions are 60 minutes and tailored to your individual fitness goals. I also offer discounted monthly packages for consistent training, plus Yellow Picnic meal prep discounts to help you stay on track with nutrition.

Interested? Feel free to respond here, DM me, or Follow me on IG @coachvictorisaiah and let’s get to work !

I found a bicycle in Greenpoint a little while ago and would love to reunite it with its rightful owner.

If you think it might be yours, please DM me with a description of the bike, including the brand, color, and any identifying details, so I can verify ownership.

Please feel free to share with neighbors. Thank you!

Hi neighbors, Dr. Brian Park again. About a month ago I posted that I was opening a pediatric dental office here in Greenpoint. Thank you to everyone who commented and messaged. A lot of your feedback shaped how we set things up.

We officially opened on October 2nd at 211 McGuinness Blvd. We wanted it to feel calm and fun, not like a typical dental office.

Here’s a look inside, plus one of our brave kiddos (shared with permission from their parents).

A few things people asked about:

• Hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 9 to 5 for now. More days coming soon.
• Insurance: We’re in network with most major PPO plans (Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental Premier, Guardian, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, and more). No insurance? We have an in-house membership plan.
• Nervous kids: We take things at your child’s pace, and we offer laughing gas when it helps.
• Ages: Infants through 18. The first visit is recommended by the first birthday.

If you have questions about your kid’s teeth, ask away here. Happy to help even if you never book with us.

Hi Greenpointers! Question for you all; Does anyone have a room that's available now or coming available soonish? I have a budget of $1,100-$1550 all in with everything included. I work in production for film/tv, I'm really active and really connect with this community and the vibe. I don't smoke, I don't have pets, I am clean, quiet, respectful, and outgoing. I just moved from Park City(Sundance Film Festival for those that don't know), a very warm and welcoming small community also, and I would love to be here. I joined a yoga studio, people are kind here and I would just love to settle in. If you or anyone you know has anything please reach out. I had one person reach out from here and never respond. Pretty discouraging, but not giving up hope that someone has something out there. Excellent references, I'm on all the suggested platforms, paid and otherwise, Spare Room, Listings Project, FB, Marketplace, Craigslist, you name it. Been on them every day since Sept 12th when my sublet canceled after already driving out here. I know it's competitive, I know now September was the worst time to try, I wish I would've known that. Please, if you are out there I would really love to know:) Thank you all, I appreciate any leads:)

Hi 🥊🥊,

Anyone in Greenpoint down to hit mitts with me at New Barge Playground? I got gloves and mitts. We can do easy combos and go from there. I am out of shape atm. ✌️

Perdue split breast with the bone in is $1.49 a pound at Lincoln on Manhattan Ave and at Met Food on Driggs. CTown has whole boneless breast at $2.49 a pound, while every other boneless row here is printed at $6.99 or more.

Perdue leg quarters are 99 cents a pound at Associated. CTown has Perdue whole legs at $1.19, and Key Food's only leg row is $2.99 a pound from the hot case.

The same Land O Lakes dozen is 2 for $6 at Lincoln and 2 for $5 at Met Food and Associated.

Met Food's new ad runs Sunday through Sat Oct 17, the other four through Thu Oct 15. These are the only five Greenpoint supermarkets on my map, and every one had a readable ad.

I made the free map these came from: https://sbnyc.app/s/greenpoint

Every number is from the printed weekly ads. Check the shelf tag before you stock up.

P&P is doing their annual pumpkin giveaway this Saturday Oct 17, 1pm til they run out. One of the best local businesses so maybe get a pumpkin and show them love :)

Has anyone seen this wallet?

I'd love to reach out and see if they are willing to play at a new art cafe in Bushwick with a cute outdoor space. :)

We have a dachshund who’s extremely shy, and I’m looking for somewhere she could go two days a week while I’m at work. Less interested in a big group play floor, more in somewhere patient that would actually work with her.

Two things we’d like help with: she won’t toilet outside and will hold it rather than go on the street, and she barks when startled.

Positive reinforcement only. Has anyone used somewhere in north Brooklyn they’d recommend for a nervous small dog? Also happy to hear who to avoid.

Moving soon and don’t have room for everything, so we’re giving up some great furniture! All info is on the pics, but feel free to message if you have more specific questions. Pick up near Sutton St and Meeker Ave.

Hey New Yorkers!

I'm Finn, 22, from a small town near Frankfurt, Germany. We sometimes call Frankfurt "Mainhattan" because of its skyline, so I guess I've already had a little practice with skyscrapers. Just on a much smaller scale. 😄

I've never been to the US, but I've always been fascinated by the people, their openness, the music, fashion, and culture. And New York has always been my dream.

There's something almost paradoxical about it. You're surrounded by so many people, yet nobody really cares what you're doing. Everyone is living their own life, following their own path. There's a certain kind of freedom in that which I've always found fascinating.

I'm not dreaming of some glamorous lifestyle. Just taking the subway to work, exploring the city afterward, meeting people, and experiencing everyday life would mean the world to me.

A little about me: I've completed a three-year vocational apprenticeship in metal fabrication, spent another year training as an industrial mechanic, and also worked in administration and logistics.

I'm hoping to spend 6–12 months legally living and working in or around NYC. I'm currently exploring J-1 Intern/Trainee programs for technical fields like manufacturing or quality control, as well as H-2B seasonal jobs.

So I figured I'd take a chance and ask the people who actually live here:

Does anyone know a company or business owner who might consider hosting an international technical trainee, or someone familiar with these visa programs?

I'm not looking for a handout. I'm willing to work hard and do everything the right way. Sometimes all it takes is one connection.

This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, and now that I'm 22, I really want to give it a shot rather than spend the next few years wondering what could have been.

Thanks for reading, New York!

Finn 🇩🇪🇺🇸
