The Hottest Ticket In Town



Matilda after her partyEvery year Matilda the Directfurr of Guest Relations at the landmark Algonquin Hotel in New York hosts a party to benefit the Mayor’s Alliance For NYC’s Animals. Its all about fabulous food, signature drinks, feline fashions and its a sell-out every year.

This year, Chef Jon went to town designing platters that looked like the famous Cheshire cat, the staff wore cat ears as they bustled about serving Matilda cocktails and guests clamored to get into the green room to mine with the mewdels.

This year, Matilda’s catourier Ada Nieves copycatted her designs to honor members of the New York City Police Department’s Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad who were in attendance to receive special awards for their dedication to animals and bravery.

Enjoy these photographs:

tip of the day

Young catIf your cat loves to drink water from a running tap, consider getting a drinking fountain for her. Cats in the wild drink running water and a pet drinking fountain recreates this in the home.
