About This Store
Cauz for Pawz is a beloved charity thrift store in New York City that stands out for its curated selection of clothing, accessories, and jewelry at genuinely affordable prices. Customers rave about finding unique, high-quality pieces — from vintage gems to designer treasures like Ferragamo suits — with most items starting around $5. The store is small but packed with stylish inventory that rotates frequently, with new clothes arriving daily so there is always something fresh to discover.
What truly sets Cauz for Pawz apart is its mission: all profits go toward feeding rescued cats and dogs across all five boroughs, supplying both rescue groups and an in-store pet pantry that feeds over 550 animals daily. The staff — especially Rebecca and the owner — are consistently described as warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, often offering styling advice to shoppers.
While overwhelmingly praised as one of the best thrift experiences in NYC, one customer reported feeling treated differently based on customer status. The store accepts donations Monday through Friday from noon to 6pm and occasionally offers special online coupons. It is a true thrift store, not consignment, making it a must-visit for bargain hunters who want their spending to support a meaningful cause.
