Matilda & FURiends Salute Broadway with Cat Fashion Show and Animal Adoption Event at Algonquin Hotel, 8/2

"Matilda & FURiends Salute Broadway" brings new meaning to the word catwalk, as The Algonquin's famous house feline Matilda hosts her annual summer celebration with a cat fashion show and animal adoption event, benefitting the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals.

On Saturday, August 2, the MEWdels will be dressed to the nines (one for each of their lives). The hotel will also welcome special feline guests Tara the Hero Cat, famous this year for defending her human family's son from an attacking neighborhood dog in Bakersfield, California (see viral video); and Vito Vincent, animal actor who starred last year in the role of "Cat" in the Broadway show, Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Just outside the hotel's front doors, the Mayor's Alliance Adoption Van will be on site from 3:00pm-7:00pm for some very deserving kitties to find their forever homes.

A reception and Feline Fashions by Ada Nieves for Pets will take place from 5:00pm-7:30pm. For entry, a minimum $40 donation is requested for the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals.
