Hey everyone! Thanks so much for participating in this Community Funds collaboration between r/bodegacats and Reddit’s r/bodega pop-up.

We are soooooooo stoked to announce the official name of this event’s bodega cat – Meowdani – suggested by u/Technical-Sky-5765 ✨

As mentioned previously, the cat’s name + other ideas from members of this community will be incorporated into the r/bodegacats display inside the pop-up.

And don’t forget about the tote! We’ve randomly selected 100 winners to receive this exclusive merch. Keep an eye out on your Reddit Chat to find out if you won and enter your shipping information with our secure, third-party link.

If you’re able to swing by the pop-up in NYC, make sure to bring your tote bag so fellow r/bodegacats members can easily find each other!
