Meet for Coffee at the Bruce: Pets and the City with Dr. Amy Attas

Join us for an unforgettable morning of conversation, culture, and compassion at the sixth installment of Meet for Coffee at the Bruce. Our guest is Dr. Amy Attas, renowned house-call veterinarian and author of Pets and the City: True Tales of a Manhattan House Call Veterinarian. Over a cup of coffee, Dr. Attas will share heartwarming, hilarious, and insightful stories from her 30-year career, where she’s seen it all—from naked celebrities to wealthy pet owners in luxurious penthouses, revealing that when it comes to their pets, people are at their most genuine and vulnerable.

In her book, Pets and the City, Dr. Attas highlights the special bond between humans and animals, showing how this connection often brings out the best in us, regardless of wealth or status. Whether navigating snotty noses and sneezing fits in Manhattan’s swankiest homes or offering life-saving care to a beloved companion, Dr. Attas’ experiences offer a unique glimpse into the human condition through the lens of our pets.

Beyond the stories, she’ll dive into the deeper truths she’s learned—that animals have the power to heal, to unite, and to make us better people. As the founder of City Pets, Manhattan’s premier veterinary house-call practice, and an advocate for animal health and conservation, Dr. Attas brings not only expertise but also a profound empathy to her work.

Whether you’re a pet lover or simply curious about the world of New York’s elite pets, this event promises to be both enlightening and entertaining. Don’t miss this chance to engage with Dr. Attas as she shares her journey of love, loss, and laughter through the eyes of the animals that mean so much to us.
