Bobcat Reads: Pets and the City by Amy Attas
Bobcat Reads will be discussing Pets and the City: True Tales of a Manhattan House Call Veterinarian by Amy Attas from January 3 through March 7, 2025.
In Pets and the City, Dr. Amy Attas, New York’s premier house-call veterinarian, takes readers on a heartfelt and humorous journey through her thirty-year career treating the pets of the city’s wealthiest and most famous residents. Through stories that range from hilarious encounters with celebrities to touching moments with remarkable animals, Dr. Amy reveals how caring for pets brings out the best in people. This memoir is a delightful exploration of how our furry friends make us better humans, reminding us that love and vulnerability transcend wealth and status.
