The world's most famous hotel cat
Watch Matilda take a nap on the front desk on Insta or join her 11,000 followers and like her on Facebook. Fans of Matilda also have the option of emailing her directly and sending gifts. The staff donates toys to local shelters since all of the Algonquin feline residents have been strays or rescues.
Every year Matilda hosts a feline fashion show to benefit the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals.
Matilda announced her cat-irement July 2017 and has passed the cat toy to gorgeous ginger Hamlet.
