Yana was very kind and communicative. She took great care of my cat. I would suggest she gets a travel litter box for her apartment. If i didn't know she didn’t have one I would have brought one w me.

Yana was lovely. She sent us pics of our furry baby and kept us well informed. Gideon was very shy at first but she made him feel safe. After a day or two he came out to explore his environment.

Hi! My name is Lena, and I’m so excited to be a part of KittyInNY! I moved to NYC from South Florida in August 2024 to attend graduate school and get my MA in Forensic Psychology. I very dearly miss my 17-year-old Siberian cat, Smokey, who is back in the Sunshine State. That being said, I would love to give your kitty a safe and loving home-away-from-home in my small Hell’s Kitchen apartment while you are out of town! Whether your kitty loves to snuggle in bed or sets boundaries and prefers their own personal space, my aim is to respect their unique personality to ensure they are as comfortable and relaxed as possible!

Lena provides in-home cat boarding in Hell’s Kitchen — a cozy and reliable alternative while you're away. Your cat will stay in a comfortable, pet-friendly environment, and you'll receive regular updates to keep your mind at ease. Reach out and tell us more about your cat(s) and your travel dates.

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!

Maureen returns to Kitty in NY after taking time off to nurse her own newly adopted kitty back to health. Maureen has years of experience caring for cats, engaging with them, and is known to converse with them on quite a few occasions because we all know we have some chatty catties out there! But she also knows there are sweet older kitties who just want a pet or a tummy rub because they miss their parent/s!

When asked why Maureen would like to go back to Kitty in New York, she remarked, “I love taking care of these sweetie pies and making them feel special and then sending a photo to their parents to let them know their little ones are in good hands.”

If you are located on the Upper West Side and need a cat sitter to take care of your cat/s, Maureen might be available. Cat sitting visits are the perfect solution for your short/term needs. You will receive periodic updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for. We'll be glad to help you find the best solution.

Maureen was very loving and playful with our cats Dash and Dot. She made sure they got plenty of exercise, were fed well and their litter box was clean. She made sure to give them lots of pets and enjoy spending some downtime with them.
Thanks Maureen!

Love these pics. She seems like her normal self, which is great considering what she’s been through the past couple of days. I really appreciate your rearranging your schedule to visit her in the evening, and bringing her the canned food. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my little girl.

A little bit about myself....I'm an amateur dj/software engineer practitioner who's been around animals since kindergarten. I live in the Chelsea area in Manhattan and love anything music related. I enjoy being around the little people with personalities we call cats. I'm an avid feline lover who just wants to give the same unconditional love our four legged friends give us each and everyday...sometimes they do lol.

If you need a cat sitter and live in Chelsea, Robert will be happy to help you with your beloved felines. Please send us more details about your cat/s and we'll be glad to connect you with the best options in your area.

Robert was exceptional! Bonnie actually liked him and she usually takes a while to warm up to people. Also, he was extremely flexible when it was noted that there was a mix up in the booking schedule. I hope he’s available the next time I travel.

Discover CATechisms — Poems in Praise of a Senior Himalayan Cat

6/8/2025

1 Comment

Today we’re delighted to share a sneak peek of CATechisms, an upcoming collection of poetry by John Delaney, celebrating the tender, bittersweet relationship with his Himalayan cat facing renal failure.

The Stations

To and from patrols to the litter box
and feeding bowl, he yowls his reports:
‘all clear’. Then, like clockwork, mans the stations:
my chest in bed, my lap on couch or chair,
in his bed beside the laptop in the office.
Those are regular, self-imposed assignments.
But in my absence, there’s another post
he’s partial to partake: a sunny window roast.

Off duty, he makes exploratory
expeditions around the house, forays
into nooks and crannies, sniffing out
the enemy or finding friendly forces.
He target practices a mouse that jerks
erratically, strung along on a string,
and constantly cleans his dress uniform, fur.
Now he sits before me at attention:
‘At your service, Sir.’

— poem from CATechisms, used with permission

Featuring stunning imagery and emotional resonance, this poem and its accompanying photograph first appeared in a literary journal and now grace John’s full-length debut.

About the Book
CATechisms is a thoughtful, heartfelt tribute to aging feline life — a portrait of love, loss, humor, and daily devotion. Published by Finishing Line Press, each pre-order now helps determine John’s royalty tier, so early support truly makes a difference.

📘 Pre-order here: finishinglinepress.com/product/catechisms-by-john-delaney/

We can’t wait to read the rest of this collection — we know fellow cat lovers will treasure it. Thank you, John, for sharing this intimate piece with us.

Erin provides cat sitting visits in Green Point and LIC

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!

Hi, I'm Erin, & I'm a huge cat fan! I've been lucky enough to spend more than 4 decades loving & being loved by cats in my home -- so much so that my family has joked for years that we run an old cats' home. Because with us, life is so good, they just want to live forever...14 is "young" in my book! My husband & I live in North Brooklyn with Tuna (The Big Tuna) & Mayo (The Lady McMayonnaise), who we adopted in 2015 & 2016, respectively. We don't consider ourselves cat "owners," but cat "concierges," because really? They own us. We're here to put food in bowls, make the laser dot dance, & provide the comfiest of laps for naps & chin scratchies. I speak fluent scaredy cat, especially since Mayo was rescued from the rough streets of Brooklyn, & I can easily de-escalate aggression, as Tuna's native language was hissing. I'm highly skilled at lasers, cat dancers, & fishing lines, & I'm basically certified at disseminating treats. And 2 of my great life-with-cats accomplishments are teaching a former cat boss to use the toilet, and teaching Tuna how to "speak" to us, by pressing buttons. Because if you're willing to listen, every cat will tell you what they want. That's why I approach every cat I meet with patience, empathy...& song.

When you leave the city for a few days, cat sitting visits is the best solution. The caregiver will come to your apartment and make sure your kitty has fresh food and water, clean bowls and litter and spend time with her/him. You will receive an update after every visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll be glad to help you find the best solution for your beloved feline/s.
