I'm Sonia and I am a part time housekeeper in Manhattan, because of my job every day I visit different customers with cats and dogs and I bring my special cleaning products to ensure they are safe. Did you know some cleaning products are potentially dangerous for cats and poisoning by just inhalation!

I grow up on a farm taking care of cows, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats and more... so I know how to treat these specials creatures. They need a lot of love!

An interesting fact about me is that I'm left handed and I support children in central America with 10% of my income.  I speak many languages - Danish, Spanish, Italian and of course English and will be delighted to look after your kitty!

If you're located close to Morrison Ave, Bronx Sonia will provide a perfect temporary home for your furry friend until you're available. In-Home Boarding is a good solution for long term or very social cats. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

My name is Lori. I live in a pre-war 3 bedroom in the low W. 70’s near Broadway with my mother and my 12 year old son. I grew up in West Virginia, and always had pets.

They were named Ghandi, Pudding and Sam. Sam lived to be nearly 19. I still miss him.

My son, Magnus, is very gentle and loves all animals. He wants to be a marine biologist. He always looks forward to summer camp at the Central Park zoo.

Kitty in NY did an excellent job with finding me a boarding home for my cat Blanco. I gave them a week notice and within that short time they were able to find a person in the neighborhood, as well as, a meet and greet. Karen offered me a tour before I left town so my cat and I could check out her apartment and determine whether it was a fit. Karen also sent pictures of updates to ensure us that Blanco was in good care. I couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you so much Kitty in NY!

Barry lives on his own in a studio located at 666 West End Ave (92nd St) in Manhattan. He loves animals and enjoys taking care of cats.​

I'm a writer and editor who lives in a studio on the Upper West Side (90s/West End Ave.). I hail from Massachusetts but have lived in New York City for 30 years. I've boarded cats for several years now, and if you live within a radius of a few blocks and would rather have me visit your apartment to attend to your cat (I did that once), that's fine. I've taken care of several cats over the past few years (I wish I had a photo of Dexter!), and the cat you see accompanying my photo is one of my favorites, Eh-Gee (Korean name/Korean owners). Look at the face!

If you live close to the UWS in Manhattan Barry could provide a nice temporary home for your cat. He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment, cat sitting visits are recommended for short term services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need.

I have a great spacious one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Forest Hills. I live alone and my apartment is very safe for the cats. I have taken care of cats for over 15 years.  The cats usually take over my apartment and I just pay the rent.... They always feel very comfortable and they can sleep with me in my room, go on the couch, pretty much whatever they want to do. I keep treats for the cats when the behave and am very gentle with the cats. I love playing with them as well as I am at a Petland buying up the store for them.

They call me the "cat lady" so to speak... I have had a lap cat in the past and simply loved when she would curl up on my lap. My last two cats lived until 20 and 21  years of age... they were pretty much spoiled. Well that is pretty much my "cat life story". Rest assured you cat would be extremely safe with me.  I am experienced in giving medication to cats.

I'm now retired so your cats won't feel lonely.

Why Do Cats Purr? The Basics

Purring is common when your cat feels friendly or relaxed. However, it’s also something that can happen when your pet is stressed, hungry, in pain, or anxious. The fact is that all cats are different. You’ve probably noticed that different moggies have different personalities. In the same way, all behavior from your cat will depend on the context and that cat’s history. Getting to know your cat on a deeper level makes it easier to figure out whether your cat is purring for anxiety reasons, depression, or something else entirely. 

Purrs release feel-good chemicals for your cat – just like running and exercise creates endorphins for humans. Experts think that cats use these vibrations to soothe themselves. This could mean that your kitty is trying to calm their nerves when they’re snuggling, or that they’re just enjoying the experience. 

Studies found that whole-body vibrations at a certain frequency in a cat’s body can also increase the chances of your kitty healing and overcoming ailments. It sounds pretty weird, but even astronauts from NASA have used vibration therapy to support bone density and keep them comfortable in space. 

Higher frequencies of purring serve their own unique purpose too. One study in the Current Biology journal found that cats purred louder when they were trying to get owners to feed them. Interestingly, the vibrational frequency of a cat’s purr, when they want to be fed, is around 220-520 HZ.

That’s awfully close to a human baby’s cry of around 300 to 600 HZ.  
Here are some of the most common reasons why cats purr.
​

1. Crucial Communication Between Cats and Kittens

Purring is crucial for the survival of newborn kittens. Remember, they don’t have any vision to help them out when they’re trying to find their mom for food. A mom’s purr guides her kittens to her with soft vibrations. Even though the kittens are deaf, they still feel the purring. 

The adorable vibrations that happen between kittens and their moms are kind of like homing devices. They keep the momma cat and her baby cats connected. Kittens start purring in return when they’re about 2 days old, showing their contentment for the food.
​
In the wild, the purring communications between a cat and her kittens are pretty clever too. Since purring isn’t as noticeable as meows and cries, it doesn’t attract predators. 

Another bonus? Purring helps kitties to heal (we’ll come back to this in a minute). When a mother cat is giving birth and recovering after labor, she’ll use purring to release endorphins and reduce pain. Once again, in the wild, this means that the kitty doesn’t attract any predators when they’re in a dangerous environment. 

2. Cats Purr for Attention
You might already know that cats generally only meow when they want the attention of their humans. It’s not as common for cats to meow when they’re communicating with their fellow felines. However, cats do purr for attention – from other kitties, and from you. 

Cat parents are often familiar with the adorable little vibrations of their kitties when they cuddle and stroke them. These little fluff balls exude contentment to let you know that they like what you’re doing. Most kitties also recognize the obvious benefit of purring.
​
The more your kitty purrs, the more likely you are to give them attention and love. This means that they get more of what they want from you whenever they purr. 

 What if My Cat Doesn’t Purr?

Cat purring is usually a pretty great thing for felines and their companions. So, what does it mean if your cat virtually never purrs? First of all, don’t panic. Each cat is different, and many purr at different volumes and frequencies. Some cats are incredibly quiet when they purr. The only way you would notice that these felines are purring is to touch their throat. 

Other cats seem as though they don’t purr at all. Scientists are trying to understand why this happens, but we’re still not sure. Feral cats are more likely to purr less than domestic cats. Some scientists think that feral kitties are taught by their parents to reduce purring in order to avoid predators. 

Scientists have also found that feral cats are usually less vocal in general than domesticated kitties. They don’t develop the habits of purring and meowing as much in their early lives, so they don’t continue it in adulthood. This could be because domestic cats have developed their vocal abilities over the years to communicate better with humans. 

The only real reason to panic about a cat not purring is if you’ve noticed they haven’t been doing it for quite a while, and they’re showing other signs that something isn’t right. If your cat isn’t eating or drinking properly, they’re vomiting, or they’re struggling with going to the bathroom, seek advice from a vet. 

A lack of a purr isn’t necessarily a sign that something’s wrong with your cat. Remember, cats usually purr to heal! However, any change in behavior in a kitty is usually worth exploring.

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.

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!

Tabish is a world traveler who has lived abroad and now resides in a charming one bedroom townhouse on the upper west side of Manhattan. 

Growing up in Kenya, I was surrounded by wildlife. One of my earliest memories as
a child of 4 or 5 years of age is watching a lion cub, the cutest thing I’d ever seen. I
wanted to take it home, but my dad said I could have a kitten instead that was just as cute and from the same family. The rest, as they say is my cat history.
I have worked in the humanitarian sector in Europe, Africa, and Asia, using my
fluency in English, Swahili, Punjabi and Urdu.

My other passion had always been for fashion. I studied towards a M.A at Central St Martins, London, which opened up opportunities to work with artisans in Kenya, Gambia and Nepal to create artisanal jewelry and textile collections. It also enhanced my inherent talent for fashion styling. My motto is, Wear Color Every Day.

Tabish provides both services: in-home boarding and cat sitting visits. If you decide to board your cat, your kitty will have plenty of room to roam and play in this book filled and antique furnished home. Tabish works from home, adores cats, and has cared for many. Tabish will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit.  She cherishes their affectionate nature and is looking forward to getting to know your darling!​

Tabish is such a nice person. She kept contact with our daughter every day. We hope that she will be available next time we will go away.

If you need a temporary home for your cat/s while you are away, Heather might be available. You will receive periodic updates during the service. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s, we'll be glad to help you find the best boarding or sitting solution.

If you live in the East Village and need a temporary home for your cat/s, William might be available. Boarding is the best solution for long term services or very social cats who look for human interaction. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

After moving to NY to further my education, I went on to work in a few different hospitals and clinics where I met countless pet owners and had the opportunity to care for their beloved cat or dog. I have fostered a few kitties along the way and found loving homes for them. I will always treat your kitty like they are my own and I pride myself in being able to think quick on my feet when handling unforeseen circumstances that may arise. Whenever it’s time for me to visit with a furry loved one, I look at our time together as more of a bonding session than just someone there to feed them. All I want to do is make a positive memorable impact on your kitties life so that in return whenever you are away they have me to look forward to. 
​

Amber provides cat sitting and cat boarding services in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. She will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit and is looking forward to getting to know your kitty!​

Amber took wonderful care of our boys Chewy and Jabba. She’s very warm and kind and sent lots of pics and videos. Amber played with our boys and gave cuddles. We really felt they were in good hands, it’s so important when you’re away. Thank you Amber and Kitty in NY!

Amber has been taking care of our dog Violet and two cats Jack and Oscar for several years and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides to our fur family while we are on vacation. She sends us updates and photos daily. I know I can relax and not worry about anything while we are away.”

“I have been using Amber for several years & my cats love her. She even took care of a health issue while I was away with great success. Currently, she has been good at 
keeping my cats on their different foods ( one is on renal food) - when they are intent on switching bowls! I love her.“

Amber was recommended by someone in my Bed Stuy-Clinton Hill network, and she has been great. I worked so hard to find someone who would come to our house to clip my cats' nails and you wouldn't believe how hard it was. 

It's a silly thing to traumatize the cats for by bringing them to the vet, and yet so few people do house calls anymore. Amber came on time and quickly dispatched of the task.  I don't need a regular cat sitter but if I needed one in a pinch I wouldn't hesitate to call her.“

Hello, my name is Robin Dann. I have always loved animals as a kid. As an adult I had multiple cats of my own, mostly rescued strays. At the moment I do not own any pet but I do miss having them around! I have a cat-sitting experience and look forward to making it a regular part of my life. I live alone in a comfortable one-bedroom apartment, work part-time in a design studio and don’t go out much, so your pet will get lots of attention and play in your absence. The one bedroom apartment with plenty screened windows is in a doorman building. Apartment is on second floor. Building is located in Midwood neighborhood in Brooklyn NY.

If you are located around the Midwood neighborhood in south Brooklyn, Robin might be available to take care of your cat/s while you are away. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

If you're located in the East Village, Cheryl will provide the perfect home environment for your cat/s until you return. She also provides cat sitting visits to your apartment. She loves cats and enjoys their company. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

Cheryl was fantastic! She was so responsive to our questions and requests. She gave detailed daily updates and sent lovely photos. She was also extremely flexible as circumstances changed while we were away. We definitely plan to work with Cheryl again in the future—our cats will be thrilled to see her again!

The best sitter my cats have ever had. They did not loose weight nor did they appear to have been stressed in any way. Cheryl asked me the right questions and I provided her with detailed instructions. My apartment was not damaged or soiled in any way. She emailed comments about my cats' behavior, general conditions and their reaction to her. I believe she genuinely cared about the cats welfare.

Cheryl has been super reliable and always sends me a photo/video update of how everything is going. My cat is shy, but she seems to have warmed up to Cheryl very quickly. Her love of cats is very clear. She has also been easy to work with when special circumstances have come up such as a temporary change in diet. Overall I really trust that my cat is in good hands with Cheryl, and it's made traveling so much easier.

Cheryl was very friendly and welcoming right from the start. We FaceTimed her beforehand and she walked us through her cat-friendly apartment in great detail. While we were away, Cheryl sent us daily updates, complete with pictures and videos of Piko. Cheryl also gave us a few suggestions to help with raising Piko (ie her preferred brand of cat nip which Piko liked), which we were very grateful for as relatively new cat owners. We could tell that Cheryl has had many years of experience and is a pro when it comes to caring for cats - Piko was very comfortable and felt right at home within a day of being at Cheryl's. I would 100% use her again for cat boarding and highly recommend her to anyone who needs the service. Thank you again Cheryl!

Cheryl was an amazing cat sitter. Clearly passionate about kitties, she made friends with Ziggy right away and regularly sent me videos of them playing and him enjoying her place. Ziggy has stayed with Cheryl a few times and we've become friends. Sometimes I think Ziggy prefers staying with her!

I and my husband are very happy and thankful for Cheryl, she has been the best cat sitter I've had by far. She shows great care for my cat "Clara" and sent us many of pics and videos with description while we are away on vacation. Usually my cat sulks and stays under the bed for a while when we come home, but after Cheryl she was so stable. I can see she was well taken care of and very content. We and my cat would definitely love to ask her again for next my vacation. Thank you.

Kim lives on her own in a very spacious/lofty studio apartment in Crown Heights. She misses having a cat. Your cat will enjoy the whole space where there are plenty of cozy places to lounge and multilevel exploring territories.

Hi my name is Kim and  I have  been living in NY for over 15yrs. I absolutely love cats, have raised a few of my own and would love to be around them again.  I live in a spacious studio loft in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn and have 3 large windows, a couch, soft chairs and rugs, so your cat will have all the space it needs to run around and play, and  of course, lounge in :)

I  currently study Indian classical music, and am home quite a bit, which will help your cat feel safe and comfortable.

If you live in Brooklyn Kim would provide the perfect temporary home for your cat. Contact us with more information about the service you need. Our in-home boarding service is indicated for mid/long term or very social cats. If you're only leaving for a long weekend our cat sitting visits are perfect, a caregiver would visit your cat in your home. At Kitty in NY we are passionate about providing personalized service for you and your cat.

Kim was easy to connect with and such a pleasure to work with. It was effortless to trust her with Selena! I was able to schedule time to speak with her on the phone right away to organize the logistics of the stay, and I could tell the she is an expert with cats. My cat warmed up to her immediately and had a wonderful stay at Kim’s. Kim kept in touch with me during my trip and was ready with my girl when it was time for pickup.

Kim was amazing. The cats came back to us happier and more relaxed than when we left them! Kim seems to have a really had a great connection with our two little kitties. She sent photos of them often, and was very easy to communicate with. We never had to worry about them, and felt completely confident that they were being very well taken care of all the time. Thanks so much for connecting us with such an amazing cat careperson! We would definitely want to work with Kim again in the future.
