Calico Cat Thrift Shoppe

Cute little thrift store, assortment of stuff, very nice group of volunteer ladies run the place. Got some nice glasswares etc. prices are reasonable and they have a ½ price specials.

Friendly store & volunteers, opens M-​F 9:30 — 2:30 & Sat 10:30 — 2:30. Each week there is a Half Off sale for: 2 color tagged groups, and additional categories of items. These are posted on the left door frame after you enter the store so check that display before you start to shop. We have been donating to the store for more than 30 years, and it’s also fun to shop there for a nice assortment of «treasure hunting».

Calico Cat is a great little place which is not your standard thrift shop. They do not have books, housewares or electronics. I would say that this shop offer more, higher end purses, bags, evening wear, suits, shoes, jewelry, etc. They do have some racks of just basic low end clothes. I have bought some great designer bags that were barely used. This store is pretty tight and every inch of space is filled. I love just looking through everything and it is time consuming but to me it’s fun. For me this place is really a hit or miss and that’s the best part of thrift shopping. On a good day, I’ll walk out excited about my purchase and on other days, I just killed some time. As with all thrift stores, you should call to see what their store hours are so that you won’t be disappointed when you get there.

What an absolute waste of time. We were out shopping on rt 35. We come from staten island. It was 2:20. They wouldn’t let us in even after telling them we came from staten island. They close at 2:30 on a Thursday! Who closes 2:30 on a Thursday! Even so we had 10 minutes. I see why they call it calico cat. She opened the door to tell us there closed and it smelled like cat piss.

I have never shopped here but I have dropped off lots of clothes. I discovered this place when my daughter did her community service for her confirmation. I do not trust the donation bins in the various parking lots and at Calico Cat I can at least hand my donation to a real person.

OMG! I’m so happy I’m the first to review the Calico Cat. I’ve been shopping here since 1993. or when I no longer had to wear my catholic school uniform ;)
Beyond great prices — colored tags identify if the item is half off or not, check w/​the front counter for sign. Large selections of men’s, women’s, kids clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, housewares, books, linens — don’t be surprised if you find merchandise new w/​tags!
Located on the oldest street in Middletown NJ — actually connected once to the Kings Hwy in Brooklyn via a boat route on maps…
Let’s go shopping!
