Kudos to you for speaking up in that situation. Many people tend to freeze when faced with an uncomfortable moment. To get more information, I'd suggest contacting the store manager directly and asking about the rescue organization they partner with. They'll likely have that information on hand, and most rescue organizations take animal welfare seriously, especially since it involves their own animals.

Thank you for taking action. It's astonishing how some people can be oblivious to animal body language or even intentionally cause harm. I recommend sending a polite and concise email to the store, reporting what you witnessed and suggesting the installation of a plexiglass protector at the front of the cages to prevent future incidents.

Unfortunately, many pets are treated as mere accessories or playthings. However, you did the right thing by speaking up. I agree that contacting the store manager or staff is a good idea, and perhaps they can implement more regular supervision of the animals to prevent such incidents.

It's great that you stood up for the cat's well-being. Cats require gentle treatment and a peaceful environment, even in a busy city like New York. They deserve to rest and feel safe in their surroundings.

As someone who has volunteered at a PetSmart location, I've seen this issue occur frequently. To minimize stress for the cats, volunteers can set up the kitty cubes in a way that allows them to hide, such as by draping a sheet or curtain over the area. For example, at the location where I volunteered, we would often pin a sheet-curtain to create a cozy space for the cats. While signs may not be effective, taking steps to create a more comfortable environment can make a big difference.
