7/31/2026

0 Comments

 
Finding the right place for your cat while you’re away is never a small decision. What most owners are really looking for isn’t just a place to stay, but a home where their cat will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. In the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn, Edwin offers exactly that kind of environment.

Edwin lives in a spacious one-bedroom apartment that is clean, well organized, and thoughtfully maintained. The space is calm and uncluttered, giving cats plenty of room to move around, explore, and settle in at their own pace. All windows are properly screened and secured, creating a safe indoor setting at all times.
Picture
“I became interested in cat boarding after taking care of a friend’s cat for two weeks while she was on vacation. That was when I realized how important it is for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe and cared for by someone they can trust.”

​Edwin is attentive, organized, and understands that every cat needs time and space to adjust. If you live in South Brooklyn, Edwin may be a great option to care for your cat(s). Feel free to contact us and tell us more about the service you’re looking for.

At Kitty in NY, we offer both cat sitting and in-home boarding in carefully selected private homes, depending on what works best for you and your cat.

Edwin was very repo done, caring, and diligent. I was a bit hesitant about a younger man watching the girls but I’m glad I went with my intuition after my conversation with Edwin. We plan to go away again soon and will definitely request Edwin.

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.

She was very caring and considered how my cat has so much anxiety and honored his space. This was my first time boarding my cat and being without him since I adopted him at 15 weeks old. He's 2.5 years old now. She is very caring and we felt that we left Marshmellow in good hands.  Her apartment is very clean and organized and feels safe for any pet to stay.  I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services especially if it is your first time.

Elizabeth was boarding my two cats for two months and really created a wonderful home away from home for them. She stayed in touch with me and regularly sent updates on how they were doing, gave them a lot of care and attention. I would definitely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of car boarding.

Rachelle was a great caregiver. She was very communicative and sent us a lot of photos while we were gone. Her place was clean and tidy, which I felt provided a calm environment for the cats. She had a lot of cat toys that kept them active. She also made note of potential behavioral abnormalities (e.g. no poop in days, cat hiding for the most part of the day, etc.) and checked with us to see if that was normal or not.

Cat Sitting on the Upper East Side – Meet Gwen

7/22/2026

0 Comments

 
We’re pleased to introduce Gwen, a highly experienced cat sitter offering in-home visits on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Originally from Ireland, Gwen has lived in the UES since the early 1990s. Before transitioning into pet care, she worked in corporate aviation as a flight attendant and crew supervisor—roles that required calm judgment, strong communication, and exceptional attention to safety and comfort. She brings those same qualities to every cat she cares for.

Experienced, reliable, and medically confident

Gwen has cared for cats her entire life and has extensive experience with:
  • Senior cats
  • Cats requiring daily medications
  • Cats with complex or chronic medical needs
Her approach is patient, proactive, and highly attentive, offering the kind of careful monitoring that gives cat owners true peace of mind.
Picture
A calm and caring presence in your home

​
Since her own building is not pet-friendly, Gwen considers cat sitting the “next best thing” to having a cat of her own. She takes pride in making each kitty feel safe, loved, and understood, and she treats every home with the same respect she brought to her aviation career.

She is available for daily cat sitting visits throughout the Upper East Side.
If you’re traveling and need someone dependable to care for your feline family member, Gwen may be the perfect match.

Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for. We'll be glad to help you!

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 am a writer who lives alone in a large studio apartment in midtown Manhattan. I had two wonderful cats – Bo Diddley and Roxy - here for 20 years. They both died of cancer in the same year and I was so heartbroken I didn’t ever want to have my own cat again. But when I took care of a girlfriend’s cat when she went on vacation, I realized how much I love having a little furry creature in my life, so I signed up with Kitty In NY.
Picture
Antoinette with one of her kitty guests
I love boarding and visiting cats and I adore taking photographs of them. My apartment, which is totally cat-proof, has a lot of old-fashioned quilts, desks, trunks and colorful objects that I use as backgrounds for pictures. I swear, cats know how good they look in my shots and they pose with very little persuading. I will care for your four-footed friend as if it were my own. I also have my Red Cross emergency pet medicine certification.
If you live in Midtown Manhattan Antoinette is the perfect option to take care of your cat/s while you're away. She can visit your cat in your apartment, cat sitting services, or you can bring your cat to her apartment where he/she will be the only pet until you come back. Our cat boarding service is perfect for mid-long term. Contact Kitty in NY with more details about the service you need.

Toni was amazing. Had something fall through with our previous cat caretaker and called Kitty in NY and was connected with Toni. She took us in very last minute and took the best care of our kitten Parker. She sent tons of photos and had a lot of fun with him over the weekend. It's very very obvious that Toni adores cats and animals in general and is very knowledgeable about their care. She had the nicest things to say about him. Parker is a slippery one who gets everywhere and has no idea what danger is, so making sure he's safe and happy is very important to us. With Toni, I had not a worry in the world. Will definitely book again with her!!

Cool facts!

7/13/2026

0 Comments

 
As any cat owner knows, cats are amazing creatures. We've seen them run, jump and they make an impact on our lives every day. We collected some facts about their senses and abilities:

Sense of smell: cat's sense of smell is fourteen times stronger than a human's. Cats depend on their sense of smell to survive. It is their most important sense. Cats use scent to find food, mates, enemies, their own territory... their life depends greatly on how accurate their sense of smell is.

Cats have a wide range of vocal sounds.They can make about 100 different sounds. Dogs only make about 10.

Cat's eyes are pretty incredible. They do not see better than humans (in human terms) but their eyes have a different purpose. They smell the world (humans "see" the world). Cats use their eyes to hunt, they need to find the prey and focus on movement (not details). They can also see without much light. Cats have a wider field of view (200 degrees, compared to humans' 180-degree). Cats also have a greater range of peripheral vision, all the better to spot that mouse in the corner. Cats are crepuscular, meaning they are active at dawn and dusk. That may be why they need such good night vision. Their eyes have six to eight times more rod cells, which are more sensitive to low light, than humans do. In addition, cats' elliptical eye shape and larger corneas and tapetum, a layer of tissue that may reflect light back to the retina, help gather more light as well. That is why their eyes shine at night.

Your average healthy housecat with no training, no conditioning, no stretching, and no carb or protein loading can bolt at an amazing speed of about 30 mph (The average man jogs at a speed of 8.3 mph). All the cat would need for such an athletic feat is a little motivation. Cats can jump as much as five times their height. (a man jumping nearly 30 feet).

Your iPad does about 170 million operations per second. Your cat’s brain does 6.1 trillion operations per second. Researchers also say that short-term memory of cats (at least when it comes to recalling where food was hidden) lasts about 16 hours. For dogs, it’s only about five minutes.

We know cat's tongues are scratchy. That sandpaper feel is because a cat's tongue is lined with tiny elevated hooks called papillae that help hold prey in place. And unlike dogs that “scoop” water into their mouths – and all over the floor – cats use the tip of their tongue to pull water upward, closing their jaws before gravity causes spillage, in an impressive four laps per second.

On average, the lifespan of a cat is 12 years (64 human years) while dogs average 11 years (60 human years). In the past two decades, cats’ longevity increased 10 percent, more than twice as much as dogs. Some cats live up to 20 years. The oldest cat in history was Creme Puff (born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005) - an amazing 38 years!
Picture
Many studies show that no matter their preferred species, pet parents have better rates of blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride than those without pets. One study indicates that cat owners were 40 percent less likely of having a heart attack than those in feline-free homes.

At Kitty in NY we love your cat! When you have to leave the city for a few days (or weeks) we'll be glad to help you take care of him/her, until you come back. We propose a wide range of pet-free homes with caregivers who love cats. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. We also propose cat sitting services for shorter periods. Our cat care services are the best in the city! Contact us with more details about the service you need.

Great people we have met! - Tabish

7/3/2026

1 Comment

 
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.
Picture
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 followed instructions and was very attentive and patient with my cats, particularly shy Dusty - he always hides when strangers come, but she would check on him and try to coax him with treats, but leave him alone if he didn't want to be bothered with. By the last two visits, he had come out of hiding, which is very unusual for him, and shows that he was getting comfortable with her.

Tabish was really fantastic with Princeton and sent us many photos of them cuddling. We were also late to deliver him because he was hiding, and she was incredibly patient and flexible.

Tabish was so great with Astrid. I was truly able to enjoy my holiday knowing Astrid was in good hands.

Tabish has taken care of my cat many times. She always sends me adorable pictures and I can tell she is very passionate about cats. It’s always hard to be away from my cat but I know August will be in good hands with Tabish.

Tabish was very open and friendly. It was easy to see how much see loves cats and especially how much she adored our 2 cats. She did a great job taking care of them and truly made an effort to earn their trust.

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.

Kim provides in home-boarding services in the East Village, NYC

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!

My name is Kim. I'm an interior designer that recently relocated my design studio in my two bedroom apartment. I recently created a new business "the curated home office" that is completely virtual.  Now I have time to be home and not running around or directing a design staff. Cats are the style queens and kings so I will have to ask them if the paint color is the right shade. 
Picture
My first cat appeared out of nowhere on the roof of my house, two weeks after my father and grandmother died suddenly. I realized at the tender age of 12 that cats were always going to be part of my life. They always find me. 

​Living in Tokyo a cat appeared in my window . I found Bee Bee, Chi Chi and the Boo 
under similar circumstances, abandoned and in need of a home . I also rescued a dog from a dumpster with cigarette burns . Her name was Pitunia (yes a tiny pit bull ) She was more like a cat than a dog living with two other felines. She lived to be 14 years so now you know I am not spring chicken. Like I said  they find me.

My  Millie  cat , renamed Millie Vanili had a lot of health issues at 15.  I recently had to put her down during the height of the pandemic. It was traumatic .

I am not ready to adopt another cat quite honestly and I miss them so dearly ... why not show that love to another's sweetie pie. I am the perfect aunt I always have gum and tissues in my bag and I always have catnip and toys in my house. 
​

If you're located on the Lower East Side or East Village, Kim will provide a perfect 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.

Kim was excellent and caring and kept me up to date with pictures and videos and stories about my cat’s activities and behavior. She was an ideal caregiver. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kim was wonderful! She took great care of Phoebe and she sent us photo and video updates every day. We would love for her to watch Phoebe again.

Kim is above and beyond the kind of person you want to leave your cat with while you’re away. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you for your care and kindness!

I can’t even begin to express how amazing Kim was and how happy our kitty, Little Bits, was staying with her! We could tell from the second our zoom meeting with her started that she was going to be an amazing caretaker for our new family member. It’s obvious how much Kim loves kitties and how warm and fun she’d be as a sitter. She updated us on our little girl with pictures and videos and emails. It was really hard to leave our new addition in someone else’s home so soon after rescuing her, but Kim made it so easy and comforted us the whole time we were gone. I couldn’t imagine a better cat sitter exists out there!

I am so lucky to have met Kim. 
Kim is a very friendly lady, she is gentle and enthusiastic, and smiles all day. She took great care with my little boy cat I named Draco, more then I could have imagined. She cared for Draco like a mother to a son. She used to have experience with several cats and dogs, and she knows very well how to take care of a cat. She knows what cats like, what they need, what their behavior and emotions are like, and how to take care different kinds of them. 

Half a year ago, I had to leave Draco along in New York City, and my heart broke, but thankfully, I found Kim. The first time I saw her home through the video, I felt like I can trust her—her room is very warm and clean, with wood floor, carpets; it all felt very peaceful. Her windows were well protected and it just felt like the best place for my cat to be. 

In the last half year, she is just like what I felt and even better. Thanks to her, I was not that worried about Draco’s wellbeing (although I worried for him and missed him dearly). She treated Draco as a friend and family member. She combed Draco’s hair every day, and let Draco stay in his favorite spot on the carpet. She gave him premium wet food. Draco was getting sunshine and look out to the street every morning, sleeping with her at night. I realized that I hadn’t been treating him to the level that Kim was - I learned many good habits from her.  

She also sent me Draco’s photos every week, which gave me the chance to see what he was up to and how he looked. In the video and photo, I could see Draco trusted and loved her. Under her care, when I got Draco half a year later, I found out he become more gentle and soft, kinder, leaner and stronger. 

Draco is back in my arms right now, I hope Kim can find another little friend to keep company. And Hey! Believe me, she will be your best choice.
​
I saw four families on Kitty in NY, met all of them, and have one experience with another lady two years ago. No one was as good as Kim. She has great experience, friendly, kind, and so caring. She will take very good care of your cat, because she is their friend and keeps them company.
