Great people we have met! - LaShaun

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 son and I live in a two bedroom apartment, located the the Bronx. Prior to us moving into our current apartment my son and I owned a cat who we called spicy. I took spicy in as a kitten who was being mistreated by his first family. Spicy became part of our family for 8 years. While living in my previous residence my landlord had abandoned the building which forced my to move immediately it was unfortunate for us because the place we moved to didn't allow any animals, although it was temporary. I was forced to take spicy to ASPCA. After i secured our permanant residence, I returned for spicy but he was already adopted by another family. My son and I never adopted another animal after spicy. I'm currently seeking my BSW to become a social worker, and employed as a case manager working with adults living with a mental illness. I'm in my third year and soon to be finished. I would find it beneficial to my son and I to help those in need of cat sitting so we can provide the care that the cat is use to while there family is away.

You still don't have a cat!?

Cats are beautiful and amazing creatures. They will keep you company and will add quality to your life. Cats are very easy to care for and maintain.

  • Housebreaking takes about a minute. Just tuck a litter box with clean litter in an out-of-the-way spot in your home, and voila! Tiger is fully house trained!
  • You don’t have to give up being a clean freak. No need to worry about a dirty, smelly kitty rolling around on your carpet or your furniture. Healthy felines keep themselves clean from head to toe.
  • No guilt trips. Unlike your dog, who will drop his tail and look at you with a forlorn expression when you can’t stop what you’re doing to play with him, if you need to put your kitty off for a bit, she’ll wander away, not seeming to mind. You’ll find her later stretched out contentedly in her favorite napping spot.
  • You can stay warm, even in the dead of winter. As most folks owned by cats can attest, there’s nothing that compares to the coziness of a kitty curled up in your lap​

How often should you take your cat to the vet

9/5/2017

Many cat owners wonder about this. If my cat is strictly an indoor cat, why should we take him to the vet every year? Regular checkups are an opportunity to check the overall wellbeing of your cat. Potential problems could be detected and be picked up early.

A kitten should complete the regular vaccination schedule. This includes a series of shots and booster shots that last around 12 months (it involves 2/3 visits to the vet). Please talk to your vet about mandatory shots and decide which shots should your kitten receive. New York State Law requires mandatory rabies shots. More details about vaccinations can be found here:

Indoor cats should be spayed/neutered. The recommended age for the procedure is between the 10th and the 24th week of age.

You should bring your cat to the vet if you see any of the following signs: pain or discomfort, blood in urine, difficulty breathing, pain or difficulty when going to the litter box, loss of weight, drinks too much, you feel lumps or bumps, has an open wound, stops eating or vomits more than once a day.

Reviews.com has an interesting study about pet insurance. The best pet insurance offers coverage that’s broad enough for whatever care your pet needs — with high enough limits to cushion you in a worst-case scenario.http://www.reviews.com/pet-insurance/
KITTY in NY provides in-home boarding and cat sitting solutions. Our cat sitting visits to your apartment are the best option for short term trips and holidays. They are also recommended when you have more than 1 cat or if your cat is very shy. In-home boarding is a good option for your longer term needs. You bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where he/she will be the only pet. You will receive regular updates during the service. Contact us and let us know more about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.
