City Pulse

By Allison Warenik-Queenan

On Wednesday, August 11th, the Algonquin Hotel, along with North Shore Animal League, invite you to celebrate the 15th birthday of the Algonquin’s kitty-in-residence Matilda (pictured above) with a spectacular feline fashion show and North Shore adoption event. North Shore is an amazing no-kill animal shelter located in Port Washington, Long Island where I personally have adopted several cats (and dogs!) from in my lifetime. Come and check out these extraordinary fashions and give to a great cause. Maybe you, or someone you know, might also leave with a new furry friend.

John Fulton, host of Animal Planet’s upcoming series “Must Love Cats” will MC the event. All it cost is a minimum $25 donation to North Shore at the door.

3:00pm-7:00pm: North Shore Adoptions on site
5:00pm-7:30pm: Birthday Reception and Meow Wear fashion show

Please RSVP to Matilda the Cat at 212-419-9197 or matildaalgonquincat@algonquinhotel.com

The Algonquin Hotel
Round Table Restaurant
59 West 44th Street (between 5th & 6th Avenue)

Thank you for such a lovely article. I am the woman who created all the fashions and costumes for Matilda’s party. The costumes you will see in upcoming articles are my one-of-a-kind items that I make for clients upon order. I also have a mass-produced line you can see on my website, http://www.mymeow-wear.com — please visit!

Meow-Wear will also be at Meet the Breeds at Javitts in October and at the Westchester Cat Show in November.
