Matilda would be proud of her successor’s transition from street cat to front desk greeter. He now presides over The Algonquin’s annual Feline Fashion Show and Silent Auction.

Hamlet took on his residence last August as “greeter” at the front desk. I was his legacy from Matilda his predecessor, to give him Reiki treatments to enhance his transition and after. (See August 2017 Blog and scroll down to Matilda’s Swan Song).  The Algonquin has Hamlet’s back for his continued wellness.

This was Hamlet’s debut at the Algonquin’s annual Feline Fashion Show and Auction — a fund-raiser for the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals.

As Hamlet’s Reiki practitioner and therapist, I was on hand to give Reiki treatments and gift Multipet Toys to enhance the mind, body and spirit of the Models and their guardians.

I gifted toys to the adoptees in the adoption van and checked out my donation to the Silent Auction then did a special Reiki treatment for Baloo’s foster kitten who was up for adoption, .

Commentary from WWD’s Maxine Wally
On hand at the show was The Algonquin’s resident Reiki cat healer, Carole Wilbourn. She sat on a table, clothed in whisker-printed tights and shoes with cats on them, and explained that she comes in once every few weeks to perform Reiki treatment on Hamlet. She initially “helped Hamlet with the transition from street cat to indoor cat,” she said. Her method of Reiki involves touching Hamlet to transfer energy, petting him, and also performing what’s called distant Reiki, which involves giving Hamlet mental Reiki by putting symbols she wants to show him through her mind.

Wilbourn, who has written six books including “Cat Talk”, “Cats on the Couch” and “Cats Prefer It This Way,” said she once cured a client’s’s cat through distant Reiki. Her client’s’s son had accidentally put their family cat in the dryer with articles of clothing, and ran the machine. The cat emerged blistered and traumatized, but Wilbourn said the cat lived through the ordeal — in part because of her Reiki treatment.
