Cattitude Street Strutters

Hi! My name is Mr. Sparky. I'm the handsome Siamese in the picture and was the first Mascot at Brooklyn Cattitude. At almost 25 years old, I have some senior related health issues. I don't hear very well, have high blood pressure, and need fluids on a daily basis to help my kidneys work better. Thanks to the pet care specialists who work at Brooklyn Cattitude, I have a really great quality of life that I share with my human, a very large dog named Notee, our Street Strutters Woof Woof COO, a small dog named Max who thinks he's a big dog and wants to be the COO, and my cat brothers and sister, Lucky Livingston, Tony, and Frankie Beans.

Speaking of my human, her name is Taryn and she is the founder of Brooklyn Cattitude & Street Strutters Pet Care, Inc. Taryn is special, not just because she's my human, but because she's passionate about the work she has done with animals since she was a little girl living in the Midwest and throughout her travels around the world.

Born from a drive to make a difference…

After moving to New York, Taryn began aligning herself with local rescue and adoption groups. She also volunteered at local animal shelters and worked at both Crown Heights Animal Clinic as a tech assistant and Prospect Park Animal Clinic in Park Slope. It was during her time at PPAC where she was trained on how to appropriately care for companion pets, especially those that had special needs. She learned from speaking with many of the PPAC clients, they wanted someone to come to their home and care for their beloved pet. Taryn saw an opportunity to combine her love of caring for animals, her veterinary clinical experience and her MBA degree skills.

And so we began…

She began offering pet sitting and tech care services to the Brooklyn and Manhattan communities, building Brooklyn Cattitude & Street Strutters one client at a time. That was 16 years ago. The business has grown significantly but continues to customize every service experience with a focus on the needs of the fur kid entrusted in our care.

Taryn's favorite reminder to the team, "We will never be too big to say thank you to each client we are privileged to service."

Your peace of mind is what's important…

A Letter from our Senator...

Dear Ms. Hunter:

Thank you for writing in support of the Help Extract Animals from Red Tape (HEART) Act of 2018 (S. 2633). I agree that we need to be doing more for those animals rescued from federal animal fighting cases.

As you know, the HEART Act would expedite the hearing process in which a rescued animal can find a safe home by reducing the minimum period the government must hold an animal from 60 days to 30 days. Additionally, the legislation would allow the court discretion to consider a claimant's ability to care for the animal, as well as their responsibility in regards to the initial seizure. These changes would prioritize the health and well-being of rescued animals, as well as hold those guilty of crimes against animals financially responsible for their care. While this bill has yet to be introduced in this current Congress, I will continue to track its progress.

Throughout my career I have sought protections for animals. In the 115th Congress, I cosponsored S.654, the Prevent Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, which would have put additional penalties on individuals intentionally injuring animals, and the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act would have created a new system for monitoring and penalizing potential horse abuse practices. Although these bills did not become law, I will continue to fight for them in this session of Congress, and will closely monitor any other bills that seek to protect animals.

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please keep in touch with your thoughts and opinions.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Schumer

United States Senator
