Henry seemed immediately at home when I dropped in off and still perfectly at home when I picked him up, which is what I care most about in leaving him somewhere. Joanna seemed to enjoy having him around and treat him as her own.

Joanna takes really great care of our girls! We don't know how we would be able to travel without her.

Joana was great. She was easy to reach and sent us photos with every visit. Most importantly, the kitties were happy and relaxed when we returned. She was all we hoped for!

Joana was very good with communication and sent us pics with every visit. The house was clean and everything was tidy when we got back. The cats were happy and that makes me happy. :) I would highly recommend Joana!

Joanna is a good match for our cats because she is very calm and caring when she interacts with them. Our cats can be shy so it's important not to force interaction.

She did such a wonderful job with Patty. When I got home last Sunday, it was as if I had never been gone!

Monday May 29th is Memorial Day and many of us have the day off which is great, because we can spend time with our cats or helping cats. There are a lot of great ways to celebrate Memorial Day with your sweet kitty.

1.  Sleeping in
Cats love holidays like Memorial Day because their humans often have the day off and get to sleep in and cats love spending time sleeping with their humans in a big soft warm bed. Don’t rush out of bed on Memorial Day, spend some extra time cuddling with your kitty.
​

2. Time to help cats
You can also take the time off from work to help homeless cats in your area. June is Adopt A Shelter Cat Month and Social Petworking Month so use this day so share some adoptable kitties on your Facebook page or other social media. Follow a new rescue group or two. Send out an email to friends and family encouraging cat adoption. You can make a huge difference and help cats find homes.

3.  Spring Cleaning
Having a day off from work means you can do some spring cleaning. Clean your floors and put away any chemicals or cleaners that could be toxic to your cat. Take a lint roller to the sofa! Take a look at your kitty’s belongings. Is it time to get a new litter box? Replace old toys that could be harmful. Donate your old supplies to a shelter and take advantage of all those Memorial Day sales by getting your kitty new clean gear!

​4. Grooming
Use the time off from work to groom your kitty. Give your kitty a bath if needed and brush out her fur to help remove that thick winter coat for summer.

The Abyssinian is a breed of domestic shorthaired cat in which each hair is banded with different colors. Kittens are born with dark coats that lighten as they grow over several months. The ticked effect (which is the trademark of the breed) should be uniform all over the body. Each hair has a light base with three or four bands of additional color growing darker towards the tip. The base color should be as light as possible. The typical tabby M shaped marking on the forehead is often found.

The name refers to Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia) from where it's thought to have originated. Recent research now places the origins of the breed in Egypt. British soldiers deployed in the North African coast returned home with kittens purchased from local traders.

The original color standard is the reddish-brown. The sorrel (also known as cinnamon or red) has a lighter base with chocolate brown ticking. Their expressive eyes can be orange, gold, hazel, green or copper. They are medium sized cats.

Abyssinians are very extroverted and extremely smart. They tend to be very close to their owners and are known for getting depressed when they don't get activity and attention from their owners. In-Home cat boarding would be the ideal solution for your Abyssinian if you plan to leave the city for a few days.

KITTY in NY has a wide selection of caregivers in the city. They all love cats but have no pets of their own. They would enjoy taking care of your cat in their apartments while you're away. Contact us as soon as possible with your cat boarding needs. We'll be glad to help you.
