A Furry Find This Weekend at HKFM!!

Go to the market looking for a lamp and leave with a four legged friend.

This weekend the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market is happy to host an opportunity to find a home for animals that need one! In between shopping for your finest flea finds stop by Bobbi and The Strays or Bideawee’s space to meet a furry feline or puppy. 

On Saturday, Bobbi and The Strays will be at HKFM from 11am-4pm. The Queens based non-profit no-kill animal rescue organization takes stray dogs and cats off the street or abusive homes and into loving homes. When they are not busy rescuing animals and placing them in vet labs for examinations, Bobbi and The Strays provide educational programs on responsible pet ownership.

On Sunday,the animal lovers at Bideawee have fostered a very caring community in which everything from veterinary services to a memorial park are at your disposal. They will be bringing their expertise and animals to match their personalities with their rightful new owner. 

Even if you don’t get a pet this weekend, it’s a great opportunity to speak with both companies in detail about all the amazing services they offer.

See you this weekend!
