A beloved bodega cat named Snow has gone missing from Prince Deli and Juice Bar in Flatbush — and it wasn’t by accident.
Surveillance footage from outside the store shows two people holding the 5-month-old white kitten before walking away with him late Wednesday night.
The deli's manager, Ali Alesai, says the kitten is more than just a pet, he's family.
Snow had become a community staple, often seen playing outside and cuddling with customers.
Many knew him as the friendly fluffball who brought a sense of joy to the bodega.
“He comes and plays out here, rolls around on the ground, plays with the kids,” one customer said. “He's a little fluffy white one.”
Neighbors are now rallying to help bring Snow home.
“I’m a neighbor of 40 years,” said one resident. “So I can spread the word to tell people.”
Alesai has filed a police report and is offering a cash reward for Snow’s safe return.
He’s urging anyone who recognizes the people seen in the video or knows where Snow might be to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Prince Deli and Juice Bar or police.
