October, 21, 2017 Update:  It is with a heavy heart that All For Animals learns that Matilda III has passed. She was a rescue, having been left abandoned in a box outside the North Shore Animal League. Matilda joined the hotel in August of 2011 and served as the Algonquin’s feline ambassador (a tradition dating back to the late 1920s) until this year, when she retired to a wonderful home. Matilda, who was around 12 years old, had developed kidney disease, and her caretaker wrote on FB that it appeared she had a stroke, from which she did not recover.  Matilda was loved by so many and was a part of New York City history.  Rest in peace sweet girl.
