Great people we have met! - Michelle

7/30/2017

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!

Hello, I am Michelle….. I am a resident of the Lower Manhattan Financial District for the past 18 years. I am 42 years old and have been a cat lover / owner my entire life. I have had cleaning jobs which entailed me being trusted with my client’s keys to their apartments. I had one cat Rumsfeld who was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis, a disease which normally does not end well. This meant for a large part of his life I had to feed him and medicate him through a tube. I was able to nurse him back to health and he lived another 10 years. So I have experience dealing with sickly kitties and have no issues with medication…..

In closing I currently have 3 cats, Grissom, Brooklyn and Roger, who I love dearly. Roger even has his own Instagram page.  If given the opportunity I promise to show your furry companions the same love I show my own and to respect your personal space as if it were my own.

If you live downtown Manhattan Michelle would be happy to visit your kitties in your home. Our 30 min cat sitting visits include: ​​feeding, water refill, cleaning of all bowls, scooping litter box (change of litter when needed), cleaning of feeding and litter box areas, playtime and petting when cats are willing to interact and photo/video updates after each visit. Our cat sitters are insured and bonded.

Contact us and send us your dates/number of visits. We'll be glad to help you with your cat/s while you're away.

Michelle has been taking care of my cat for a while now. Cassie is getting older and she has several chronic conditions. She always takes great care of her. This last time, Cassie stopped eating and was acting sick. She didn’t hesitate to take her to the vet and take amazing care of her. I was so scared being away and although nothing could take away my fear, Michelle did an amazing job making sure my cat was cared for and safe. It honestly brought me to tears coming home to a cat that was eating and happy. I can’t recommend this company enough. and they are more than lucky to have someone compassionate, considerate and cat loving like Michelle working for them.

I had many special requests (among other things, one of my cats has diabetes and needs two insulin injections per day), and the sitter was very responsive to all of them.

Michelle is very caring and keeps in touch so that I know how the kitties are faring.

She was attentive to the needs of my cat...which were to leave her alone and give her space...and also not be intimidated by the potential of my cat being aggressive. Because of that vibe my cat did not appear for Michelle and then was super happy when I arrived home having not been forced to engage.

Michelle is great! She clearly cares so much for our cat and does a great job staying in touch while we're away.

Michelle was punctual, responsive, and most importantly, it's clear that she loves animals. This is maybe the fourth or fifth time she's cared for Calliope, and I always know I can rest easy knowing my cat is in good hands.

Michelle was easy to communicate with and really showed her love for cats! She sent photos of Duncan everyday and didn't hesitate to contact me with any questions. She was even flexible when I needed to extend th service at the last minute. I would definitely use Michelle again!

Cat memories: Simo

7/9/2017

0 Comments

 
All cat lovers cherish memories of their first cat, their grandmother's cat, the neighbor's cat, that special cat that started their fascination for these amazing felines who share human's lifes. We asked our caregivers and clients to share with us some of these memories.

I had always liked animals in general (and cats were one of my favorite pets) but I had not decided to have one of my own. I was young, unstable, still trying to figure out where to head or what to do with my life. I was full of disconnected dreams and paths leading to nowhere. The 20's were definately a difficult time. I fell in love many times. It was at the beginning of the love story of my life that I finally crossed paths wth my first cat. Simo was a furry ball not much bigger than my fist when my lover brought it home. He had found her in a box, left in the street. The kitten was trembling, cold, scared. She must have been around 4 weeks old. She became my first cat. I did not really know what I was getting into. It was all part of falling in love: you don't measure the consequences, you just jump in and let go.

It was hard, it was frustrating. Simo was a street cat, I lived in a tiny studio in the center of the city. We had to set the rules. She won most of the times. She was very smart and she loved me. She was destructive, extremely squitish and had litter box issues. We all invested time and efforts, we did not let her down. She was a lucky cat, as happy as she could be. She could win your heart if you had the patience. She was a sweet scared kitty. I got lost in those big eyes, marvelled at the touch of her silky hair, melted when she meowed asking for attention. I did not know much about cats, it was like an intensive training on cat's problems. 

I cherish this memory: it was a summer evening, Saturday night. The studio was cool (it did not get much sun light). I could hear a TV from the apartment upstairs. Simo entered the room climbing up the window facing the small courtyard (she loved being outside). I was laying on the couch, reading and chilling, thinking about my Saturday plans for the night. I greeted her and she came right to me and curled by my side. It's not a great annecdote, it stayed in my mind because I wrote a note about it. It felt special in a way. Simo was a special cat. A challenge in so many ways. I became a different person, I grew up, she was there, part of it, like so many things you do not expect. Important things are never planned, they just happen.
