Tuxedo Cat Bed and Breakfast

Specialties

A vegan homestay in downtown Ithaca, NY. We provide delicious cruelty-​free meals within walking distance to many businesses and natural wonders that this city has to offer.

Tuxedo Cat Bed and Breakfast is a three-​story Arts and Crafts-​style house located in downtown Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. It was built around 1900 and has been renovated but has retained its character. We have a beautiful eat-​in kitchen, dining room, solar electric, a big TV and free secure wireless internet, and a porch overlooking our shady street.

We’re right around the corner from Gimme! Coffee on Cayuga Street, and a short walk from the Farmer’s Market, the Commons, Greenstar, Moosewood Restaurant, parks, a waterfall and several creeks, and everything else that Fall Creek and Downtown Ithaca have to offer.

By staying at our vegan homestay, you are helping us to subsidize medical care for our loving special needs cats.

Please note we currently only have one room available for rent. Reservations must be made at least one week in advance.

History

Established in 2014.

As an animal rights advocate, I have been hosting traveling fellow activists in my home for years. Becoming a certified natural chef helped pave the way for my long-​term dream of opening a vegan B&B. The name of the B&B came from my love of cats, including my first love of a tuxedo cat named Mittens.

Meet the Business Owner

Amber G.

Business Owner

I write a vegan blog — and my husband Duc and I run a B&B in downtown Ithaca, New York.

I am vegan, an educator, and an activist.

I like to bake, eat, and support animal & human rights.

I’m a certified natural chef from the Natural Kitchen Cooking School.

I rescue cats who have feline leukemia virus (FeLV) to give them a good life in the time they have on this Earth.

Please note: I have my own small home colony and cannot take in any additional kitties at this time.

I love Halloween and have a dark, snarky sense of humor.

I am an East Coast/​Jersey girl at heart who has relocated to upstate New York.
