Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the Kitten Shower yesterday! What a way to start my events for the year lol!

Thank you to volunteers and staff for organizing a fantastic event!

Also, thank you to and from for being awesome hosts! (Hope all your kitties love their purrito toys! 😸)

And to my vendor furriends, new and old, it’s always a pleasure talking “shop”!

Can’t wait for next year, I’m gonna try to get over to pet the kittens next time! (Although, you know my Theo already keeps me on my toes with his kitten antics lollll.) 🧡

In keeping with the Schenectady Police Department's commitment to innovation, we are excited to announce the creation of our new Feline Unit, which will be assisting our canine officers (separately). More information will be released in the coming weeks.

A statement from Chief Brian Whipple: "The cat has been asleep for the past 12 hours".

We have high hopes.

I had trouble posting on IG the other day, so let me introduce you to the newest member of the Purrito family: THEO! 😻

He is adjusting to his new home very well, and quickly volunteered to help his Meowmy with making toys!

He is the handsomest boy in all the land! And quite the sweetheart, too!

Please welcome the newest member of our family! 😻 He currently doesn’t have a name (“Meatball” is his shelter name lol). He is very sweet, playful, and cuddly…and a master biscuit maker!

Today happens to be the one year anniversary of my baby boy Oscar’s passing…so it’s very bittersweet getting a new baby boy ❤️

Thank you to Kitten Angels (and Cindy!) for connecting us with our new boy! Let the spoiling begin! 😂

Reading Lucy a bedtime story! 😴📚

Local author, Daniel Mahoney, wrote the cutest story about a secret agent cat! You can pick up a copy of the book at or 😻

I also purchased two additional (signed!) copies of the books from Daniel so that I can include them in a couple of my donated raffle baskets!

Here’s a recent article about Daniel: https://www.timesunion.com/books/article/meet-daniel-mahoney-x-ray-tech-children-s-book-21277725.php

Sad news…I think most people in the Capital District are familiar with Steve Caporizzo and all of the hard work he does for local animals. His wife, Lisa, was equally (if not more) a fierce animal advocate. Lisa lost her battle with a short-term illness this week. As a fellow animal lover, I always appreciated what Steve and Lisa did through Pet Connection and beyond.

Most years at Petapalooza, I’d see Steve and Lisa at the Pet Connection booth. Last year, my booth happened to back up to theirs. All day I could hear Lisa taking charge and keeping the News10 guys and their volunteers organized and efficient! She definitely gave her all that day, and I’m sure every day, to raise money for animals in need.

I give my sincerest condolences to Steve and Lisa’s families. ❤️
