Super responsive, punctual, and made for a great experience! She was super proactive about helping to clean a mess from my cats that they had left while I was gone. Highly recommend. The Manx cat, is a breed of domestic cat originating on the Isle of Man, with a naturally occurring mutation that shortens the tail. Many Manx have a small stub of a tail, but Manx cats are best known as being entirely tailless; this is the most distinguishing characteristic of the breed, along with elongated hind legs and a rounded head. Manx cats come in all coat colours and patterns. Manx are prized as skilled hunters, and thus have often been sought by farmers with rodent problems, and been a preferred ship's cat breed. They are said to be social, tame and active. The breed is said to be highly intelligent, playful, and in its behaviour reminiscent of dogs. Manx cats often learn to fetch small thrown objects. They may also follow their owners about like puppies, and are believed to be better able to learn simple verbal commands than most cats. They get along wonderfully with children and other family pets and have been known to protect their families from real or supposed danger. If given the chance, they are still great hunters, and a house with a Manx will certainly never have to worry about rodents. Manx mothers teach their kittens to hunt early in life using whatever “prey” they have available, such as bugs, feather toys, catnip mice, and other objects. A house with a Manx will never be boring! Manx have been exhibited in cat shows since the 1800s, with the first known breed standard published in 1903.

She was clearly a big fan of Blaze and really enjoyed his company. Annie - survey * * * * * My kitty was very nervous and wasn't eating very well. Norma spent a lot of time trying to get him to eat, and bought more food for him to once we realized the food I left wasn't going to work. She made a comfortable space for him in her closet so he could feel safe. She stuck to his feeding schedule of four times a day -- which I understand is a lot for most people! I appreciate the extra care she took for my nervous kitty. Laura * * * * * Norma was sweet to my Sasha from day one. She was in touch with me and took good care of her while we were away. Norma was great! Caroline * * * * * Felt much better to leave my cat with a trusted person that I knew would care about her in their home rather than in a boarding place. David * * * * * Julius came back in fine spirits - he obviously had a good time and he’s much happier than had he gone to the cattery - at the cattery he would usually not eat and would come home clearly very distraught and would take 2 or 3 days to pull out of his depression caused by the cattery. So anyways Norma was 10 out of 10 - her studio apt is actually pretty large and has a big kitchen and bathroom - it would have to be 600 square feet - and it’s bigger than our west village 1 bedroom with 520 square feet.

I'm Morgan, a lifelong cat fan who's always had a kitty or two (or three!) purring around the house. Last year, I had to say goodbye to my fur-buddy of 13 years. I'm not quite ready to dive into cat ownership again, but I'm missing some feline friendship. That's where cat-sitting comes in! I love popping in to see cats who already have awesome homes and giving them some extra love and care. I've got a knack for the not-so-fun stuff too, like giving pills and fluids, and promise to make it as stress-free as possible – for both of you! Can't wait to meet your cat pals and share some cuddles and playtime. If you need a caregiver in Hell's Kitchen or Hudson Yards Morgan is an excellent choice.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I really like all kinds of animals, but I remember thinking even as a child that cats were especially endearing. I've had six cats of my own, including the gray tabby I have now, and I have cared for many more. I've given a lot of pills to cats, and I once had a diabetic cat that I gave shots to every day (and she recovered!), so I am comfortable with those situations. I live in the West Village, work from home as an editor and have an art studio in Brooklyn. My schedule is flexible, though mornings and evenings are when I'm most available to visit kitty clients. One of the great pleasures of cat sitting is that you have the opportunity to experience the incredible individuality of cats, who have personalities as varied as those of people. Cat sitting visits is the perfect solution for your short term needs. The caregiver visits your cat/s in your apartment, you will receive periodic updates during the service. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. We'll get back to you as soon as possible. One of the most common questions we receive from clients and caregivers is this. Why do cats all of a sudden run across the apartment, meowing, 30 miles per hour, again and again? This behaviour can struck new owners but it's very common, it can be seen on almost every cat (all breeds and ages).
These actions are known as "night crazies", These phases last a minute and your cat will not be in pain or suffering. Most cats just need to spend the excess energy. Cats spend almost 15 hours per day sleeping. House cats don't need to hunt for a living. They need to run an stretch from time to time. It's part of their life to have a crazy minute of their own! You should only be concerned if there is a lot of meowing involved. it could be a flea bite in a part of the body your cat cannot scratch. If you suspect your cat has fleas you should de-flea your cat and your apartment immediately. A more serious condition that would require veterinary care is rippling skin disorder. If the sking on your cat's back seems to be rippling while he's running or if your cat bites his back above the tail, you should bring your cat to the vet for a check and eventually for some treatment options. Hopefully your cat is just streching and having a good time. Remember to book your next cat boarding or sitting service in advance. Our caregivers will take good care of your cat while you're away.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Vivien - survey 01/11/2024 * * * * * Having Elizabeth care for my cat Freya while I was away with my fiance for a few days was nothing but easy and comforting. She explained the process thoroughly and told me her experiences with other cats while she listened very intently to my explanations on Freya's quirks and needs. I appreciated how often she sent pictures of Freya without question and it proved that Freya also loved to be in her company because of how cuddly she was being with Elizabeth. I would be absolutely thrilled to board with her again next time as she has been very accommodating and kind. I'm very glad you referred me to her and I will continue to use Kitty In NY services for future plans to make sure Freya is well taken care of.

All cats are beautiful and deserve all the love in the world. There are several domestic cat breeds around the globe that make wonderful pets. If you are a cat lover or have been looking around for a suitable house cat, you may have considered the majestic blue-grey felines. The British Shorthair, Russian Blue, Korat, and Chartreux are renowned varieties that are often mixed up due to akin features, primarily their coat color. It can be hard to tell the difference, unless you have done your research beforehand. Each of these exotic cats are a superb choice to bring home, but they all have distinct personalities (and physical characteristics if you look closely). If you can’t decide between the four, some explanation will surely grant you clarity: British Shorthair The British Shorthair, native to Great Britain, dates back to the first century AD, winning it the title of an ancient feline species. They were originally developed to keep rodents out of the house and were also kept by Romans at sea to eradicate ship vermin. Believe it or not, the British Shorthair comes in a range of colors and patterns, but the solid blue-grey variety is simply the most popular. This cat keeps growing up to three years of age and can get quite big in size. Therefore, it is among those breeds that take ample time to mature; also, it is prone to obesity, so you may have to be careful about feeding habits. Personality wise, these cats are very gentle and laidback. They are perfect for homes having kids and other furry animals, including dogs. They are quite independent, so they won’t get frightened or agitated if left alone in the house. This cat loves to play and bond, though it is not at all clingy. The British Shorthair has a fluffy and matt silvery coat, cobby/stubby body and big round eyes that are gold or copper colored. Russian Blue The Russian blue is a naturally occurring breed of Russia and Scandinavia, which emerged after the World War 2. They have long slender bodies, luminous green/yellowish-green eyes, and a thick coat comprising of fine, barbed, and shiny blue-grey hair. Another prominent feature are their large ears that are set wide apart. The Russian blue is a social and agile cat, which likes to explore out of curiosity. They have the tendency to get emotionally attached to one person in particular. They do not mind some alone time, but will demand affection when you return home. This breed is very intelligent, observant, and vocal, though it struggles with adapting to any kind of change. Korat The Korat materialized in Thailand along the 19 th century and is known as a variant of the Burmese; it also referred to as a ‘blue Siamese cat’. The Korat is a medium-sized muscular cat possessing a heart shaped head and large amber green eyes. Fun fact: a Korat’s eyes are blue at birth and develop a yellow lining as they grow, eventually turning amber green at maturity. The coat color of this cat is usually a deeper shade of grey, in comparison to its familiars; also, the roots of the hairs are usually lighter than the tips. Korats are quiet and sweet cats, which are very devoted to their human parent; however, they can be unfriendly or aggressive towards other cat breeds in the house. Chartreux
The Chartreux is a rare French breed, which was first identified in the 15 th century. It is a burly cat, having a rounded face, ears, and body. The cat’s coat is dense and woolly in texture; the hair feels thick and silky. The eyes of a Chartreux are slanted or almond shaped, having a deep yellow to orange coloration. It is generally affectionate, self-contained, and silent, though it mingles well with everyone in the house. It may occasionally follow you around like a dog, which is a nice perk; not to mention, you earn a loyal companion without the risk of dog bite injuries.

Inara N.- review * * * * * I immediately was drawn to how warm, genuine and all around nice Oscar was - everyone loved Oscar ! My cats loved Oscar ! My hubby loved Oscar ! Even my doorman loved Oscar ! Even almost a month later, when I told my doorman Oscar is coming back to watch the cats again - they were like: " Oh, yeah, Oscar, very nice guy." Literally, he was so nice, that even my doormen remembered him from a month before! Additionally, he takes professional photographer like photos and sent us a bunch of pictures each time that were one of a kind ! YiLing - follow up survey * * * * * Very professional and considerate. Email updates everyday with photo and video attachments. Not only took care of my cat but also cleaned the environment. I do feel that Oscar has the passion and love for cats and it reflected on his cat-sitting works. My cat is shy, not every caregiver got the chance to see or pet my cat but Oscar made it all, which took me by surprise. I guess my cat likes him! Rosemarie - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar was beyond amazing. Extremely caring, responsible and knowledgeable. Also left the space spotless! I also got sms with pictures twice a day! Naz - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar notified us both times he visited per day via text, and sent amazing pictures of our cat as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a photographer on the side! Christi - follow up survey * * * * * Seems like Oscar took great care of Sager. Sent me very personalized daily updated which really set my mind at ease. Kimberly and Timothy - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar sent us amazing pictures everyday where the cats were active and looked content. When we got back he must have vacuumed and cleaned because there was no litter anywhere. The cats were happy and healthy and seemed very well taken care of. Oscar took great care of our cats. We were very happy, again, with your service. Also, Oscar must have a gig as a photographer, because his daily snapshots were fantastic. Hannah - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar was so nice and great at giving me updates all weekend! Jeff - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar sent us updates with pictures of our cat everyday around the same time. I was never worried about my cats the whole trip. When we got back the cats were just the way we left them and very happy to see us :) Melanie - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar is great! Very nice and responsible.He always sends videos and updates about how the cats are doing and leaves the litter box looking better than the way we left it. Always feel better leaving my cats in his care! We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers.

___________________________________________ REVIEWS Sarah - by survey 01/03/2023 ***** Marie was amazing! I had total peace of mind while I was away. She is so caring and her affinity with animals shows! Chiso was so happy! Louisa - by survey 08/21/2023 ***** Great communication and follows my instructions, lots of videos and photos. Morgan - by survey 12/01/2022 ***** Marie was very friendly and professional. I even accidentally locked her out, and she informed me immediately and worked with me to get access to my apartment so that she could take care of Oliver (oops!). I told Marie that she didn't need to scoop the litter daily really, but Marie did because she clearly cared about how Oliver was doing! She sent me very cute videos and clearly took care of my old guy. And she even brought up the dry cleaning the doorman handed her (!! definitely not intended). Couldn't recommend Marie more, she's fantastic :) We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Hey, I’m Val! I’m an avid animal lover and your feline’s future friend. Since I was a kid, I raised all sorts of animals from ferrets to iguanas to chinchillas. I’ve had the pleasure of working at an animal hospital in Bayside, an adult care facility in Park Slope and currently teach part-time at a school in Kew Gardens, Queens. It is one of my callings in life to care for the unspoken souls of this world, be it critters, children or the elderly. When I’m not trying to save the world, I’m usually playing/listening to music, studying astrology or attempting to write the next great screenplay. If you reside in Queens, especially the Hillside/Briarwood/Jamaica area, I’m your guy! I can ensure you that your pet will not only be safe and sound, but will be dwelling in a both peaceful and spiritual environment. Val loves animals! He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment if you are leaving the city for just a few days, our cat sitting visits are recommended for short term. Contact us and send us more details about your cat/s and the service you prefer, either boarding or cat sitting visits.

Hello, I'm Sharisse, a tender- hearted, kind, passionate soul who has a soft spot for animals & children. While I love ALL animals, CATS are my FAVORITE. I've always had cats in my home as a child- and, has HAD one for Eleven years as an adult living in my pet friendly apartment. Sharing my space, my time, and my love was very rewarding. It was a Blessing to have had the pleasure of knowing first-hand the true beauty of an animal's unconditional & unwavering love. And, that's why for me cat sitting is perfect, because I get to experience all over again the joy of a loving animal in my care for a length of time. Any time with a cat is PRICELESS! I am also a Licensed Family Day Care Provider. I have been caring for children since 1996- to this present time. And, as I have developed great rapports with children & their families, I hope to do the same with you! I am just a caregiver by nature.

KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I consider myself a Cat Mom. When I was five I gave up on dolls when my parents gave me my first cat and I named her Marbles. I had her until the year I graduated high school. While Marbles will always hold a special place in my heart, I learned that I could love other cats. When I married John, I learned that he loved cats too. We had Fellini for over twelve years. When Fellini passed we were devastated. The only comfort for us came when we adopted two rescues Leo and Lucy. They filled our apartment with joy. Last year, Lucia passed at age 15 and Leo at age 18. They were our kids. We loved watching TV with them by our side, giving Leo his morning brush and playing with them way past our bed-time. While we know we can never replace them, we welcome house cats that need love when their family is away. We understand that each cat is unique and we follow all directions given by the cat’s family. It was always hard for John and I to leave our cats for a trip. We hope we can make people feel at ease knowing their cats will be loved and taken care of. Theresa - I have been in education for over 30 years, first as a classroom teacher and later as an Assistant Principal in a New York City public school. I am currently semi retired but continue to work at my school a few days per week. John - John is retired but continues to consult teachers on their retirement benefits several hours per week. Theresa and John might be available to take care of your cat/s while you're away. Home boarding is the best solution for your long term needs, you bring your cat/s to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be the only pet. Contact us and tell us more about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. ___________________________________________

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Laurie - by survey 12/29/2023 * * * * * Kimberlee is a wonderful sitter. She kept us up to date with his daily activities and sent pics. He is a shy cat so he stayed hidden for the first two days then came out to explore his environment. Kimberlee made him feel comfortable and warm. I highly recommend her and will be using her again. Cat's Name: Gideon Are you moving? Do you expect allergic visitors to your apartment? A dream vacation coming up? The business trip that will promote you? We know your cat is important to you. A long period of time away from NY is a challenging situation for your pet companion. Pet-hotels? Cat sitting? They are solutions for very short term periods. Cats have the reputation of being independent animals but they need human interaction. A cage surrounded by frantic cats and dogs is stressful and not valid for several weeks. In-home cat boarding offers you the possibility of leaving the city without having to worry about your cat. Our caregivers do not have any pets but they have experience with cats. Your cat will be the only animal in the apartment. In a few hours your cat will feel like at home. Your caregiver will send periodic updates during the boarding service. Our clients know this is the best solution for their furry friends:

She begins to learn English, and she loves the cats she and her mom care for to earn extra money. Left behind by traveling owners, the cats make the best of their situation, inspiring Jessica to do the same. Perfect present for the younger readers in the house! (7 - 10 yo).
