- Dylan & Matilda (Kitty)
A day late...but worth the wait! The May/June issue of Suncoast Pet is now online!
And what a beautiful rescue kitty we have pictured on the cover of our early summer issue, thanks to the extraordinary talent of Sherri Krams of Moments Unleashed by Sherri Krams Photography.
Meet Matilda, a 17 1/2-year-old cat that was found living alone in a Sarasota home that had supposedly been abandoned by the tenant.
After a neighbor spotted the kitty sitting in a window, Dylan Jon Wade Cox, a talented photographer and videographer who lives nearby, sprang into action. He climbed through a window to search the home until he found the cat hiding in a closet.
That was two years ago.
Realizing that the cat’s chances of being adopted at the age of 15 ½ were slim to none, Dylan decided to keep the kitty, and he and Matilda have been together ever since.
With 16,000-plus followers on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/djwcphoto) and nearly 6,500 followers on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/djwcphoto), Dylan has made Matilda into a social media celebrity with his impromptu images of his favorite feline! Most Saturdays, he posts photos of the kitty or selfies with “Tildie” by his side on both social media platforms in celebration of “Caturday.”
What was Matilda’s original name, and “who” does she enjoy napping next to in the garden? Find out all about our cover kitty—and the multi-talented man behind the camera—in the article that begins on page 26.
Of special interest in this issue is our “Community Spotlight” that gives a colorful nod to Boo’s Ice House & Dog Bar as Sarasota’s top dog-friendly destination celebrates its first birthday with a spectacular bash on Saturday, May 25! If you haven’t been to Boo’s, check out what you’ve been missing by flipping to page 32 of this issue!
