Cat Treat Brand Will Host Cat Bodega-Themed Pop-Up In NYC

NEW YORK CITY — A cat treat brand is bringing a feline twist to the classic New York City corner store with its Cat Bodega, a free, interactive pop-up celebrating the shop cats that have become beloved fixtures of bodegas and neighborhood businesses across the country.

The pop-up, created in partnership with TEMPTATIONS and comedian, actress and cat mom Heidi Gardner, will take over 213 Bowery in Lower Manhattan from Sept. 17–19, opening daily from 12 to 6 p.m.

Visitors can expect:

• Free cat treats: Guests can sample and take home TEMPTATIONS favorites, including Classic Treats (Adult) and Lickable Puree.
• Exclusive merchandise: Games such as a claw machine and scratch-off tickets offer chances to win collectible Cat Bodega-inspired items.
• Photo-worthy experiences: The space features cat-themed products, playful bodega displays and a life-sized cat condo “break room.”

The free experience aims to blend the unmistakable character of a New York bodega with TEMPTATIONS’ playful brand personality—giving cat lovers a chance to grab treats, play games and celebrate the neighborhood cats that have become local icons.
