Adina Silberstein
QUEENIE’S PETS, PHILADELPHIA, PA
Adina Silberstein approaches all that she does with pure joy — from the pops of purple inside and out of Queenie’s Pets in Philadelphia, PA, to the names and descriptions she gives family members: dogs Reverend Cowboy and The Groove (“AKA Cowboy & The Groove, an unforgettable duo”); cats Brucie Marbles (“blind tabby cat I love more than anything else on the planet”), Zizzy (“sassy with a gritty old lady yowl”), Snacks AKA The Snick (“hates everyone except us and his cat sitter, favorite food is marshmallows”), Gorton The Fisherman (“hilarious chonk, also our shop cat”); hamster Alan From Accounting (“lives for mini Indian corn”); and last but certainly not least Christian (“my entire team uses ‘Husband’ as his name”). Up next for Silberstein: bringing her store’s thoughtfully curated products and services that support every companion animal’s physical, emotional and mental well-being to a second, much larger location in 2026.
