Where Cats & Community Come Together
The Enrichment Exchange: Monthly Cat Toy Swap
The Cat Toy Swap has found a home! 🐾
Join Patience & Paw at Woodside Library on the first Saturday of every month for our community Cat Toy Swap.
Bring clean, gently used toys your cat has lost interest in and exchange them for something new-to-them. It’s a simple way to refresh your cat’s enrichment, reduce waste, and share with other local cat families.
No toys to contribute yet? You’re still welcome to stop by, learn more, and connect with fellow cat people!

🐈⬛🔎 The Great Neighborhood Cat Hunt
The cats are out. The clues are hidden. Let the hunt begin.
Patience & Paw is turning the neighborhood into one giant cat hunt! 🐾
Hidden throughout Sunnyside, a crew of sneaky cats is waiting to be discovered —
and each one is holding a letter you’ll need to solve the final puzzle.
HOW IT WORKS
🐾 Choose Your Route
Pick your neighborhood hunt and start wherever works best for you.
🔎 Find the Cats
Follow the route and keep your eyes peeled for hidden Patience & Paw cats.
🔤 Collect the Letters
Every cat has a letter. Save each one in your online letter tracker as you go.
🧩 Crack the Puzzle
Found them all? Unscramble your letters to reveal the secret answer!
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Hunt solo, grab a friend, bring the kids, make it a date, or turn your usual neighborhood walk into a little adventure. 💜
This isn’t a race—but it is a competition. 😂
The hunt is self-guided, free to play, and designed to be completed at your own pace.
Just bring your phone, your walking shoes, and your best cat-spotting skills. 👀🐈
PAWS IN THE PARK
Neighborhood Cat Stroll 🐱🌿
Saturday, August 29, 2026 • 11:00 AM
Meet at Aubergine Cafe —
50th & Skillman, Sunnyside
Bring your adventure kitty in their stroller, backpack, or secure carrier for a relaxed 30–45 minute neighborhood stroll through Sunnyside Gardens. We’ll slow down, take in the neighborhood, and give our cats a safe opportunity to experience some sights, sounds, smells, birds, trees, and fresh air.
This is meant to be a low-key community experience, not a race or a traditional pet walk. Cats should already be comfortable leaving home and traveling in their carrier, stroller, or backpack.
Afterward, we’ll head to The Screen Door for a little post-stroll hangout and ice cream. 🍦🐾
CAT TOY SWAP
The Enrichment Exchange at Sunnyside Library
August 15, 2026 • Sunnyside, Queens
Our first library edition of The Enrichment Exchange popped up as part of the Sunnyside Library Summer Swap — and our community SHOWED UP. 🐱♻️💜
Neighbors brought cat toys, food, litter, litter boxes, beds and supplies to swap, share and give new life to. Throughout the afternoon, people stopped by to browse, talk cats, discover something new for their own pets and connect with other cat people in the neighborhood.
Thanks to an incredible group of volunteers, the Exchange became more than a table full of pet supplies — it became a little community gathering.
And nothing went to waste! Remaining items that could benefit cats in rescue were donated to Makin’ Biscuits Rescue, extending the Exchange beyond the event itself and helping even more cats.
A huge thank you to Sunnyside Library, our volunteers, everyone who donated, and every neighbor who stopped by.
Swap. Share. Enrich. Connect. 🐾♻️
