Pets in New York City are like no other pets in the world. Just like their people, city pets of all types have to grapple with cramped apartments (if they’re lucky enough to find a pet-friendly building) local politics, busy streets and dog-run drama. No hopping into the backseat or backyard for them! And those are just the pets that already have homes-pets waiting for adoption have to contend with life in overwhelmed city shelters or life on the streets. "Pets in the City" with New York Tails publisher and editor-in-chief Diane West will offer up a steady diet of the exciting lives, loves and laments of the people and pets in the world’s greatest city. Get ready for robust debates on city pet issues, interviews with unsung heroes, surprise urban wildlife reports, opinionated product reviews, and visits with celebrities (and celebrity pets!) "Pets in the City", like the city itself, has something for everyone. You’ll also get regular reports about the city’s hottest events, including fundraisers, festivals, and play dates.

On September 13th, New Yorkers cheered on some 25,000 runners and walkers in the annual Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" in Central Park to raise awareness and funding in the continued fight against breast cancer in women and in a growing number of men. But lounging on couches and chairs throughout the country was another, even larger group of unlikely supporters -- those four-footed furballs we call cats. Since May of this year, Purina Cat Chow’s "Connected for the Cau" campaign has highlighted the special bond between people with breast cancer and their cats, and how these usually self-centered creatures are very much a part of the healing process for many facing this challenge. The campaign runs through October and has many fun ways any cat lover can donate to the cause, such as posting a photo of their cat on the site’s mosaic. Pets In the City spoke with one of these tremendous individuals, New Yorker Lara Pilla and her cat, "Mingo", and how Mingo -- in Lara’s words "gives her ‘little gifts’ throughout the day to help her on her journey to recovery". This interview will leave you inspired to find joy and laughter in every day.
