Great people we have met! - Morgan

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!

Greetings from Greenwich Village. My name is Morgan and {other than existing as an around the clock cat-lover} I wear several artistic hats including songwriting, film-making, poetic prose writing, violin, piano, guitar, singing and stage performing. I've professionally cared for cats of all personalities and ages for the last several years in NYC and I can honestly say I'm always ready to get to know another cat. The most rewarding part of being with cats is building trust and seeing them enjoy the moment in their own preferred way, whether it's through playing with a toy, watching birds, eating a treat, receiving affection or just curling up to nap. If I get to visit with your cat or board them at my place they will probably be sung to and definitely adored. I take joy in keeping a clean apartment and am comfortable administering medication as needed. With grace!

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!

Hey there my name is Alfiya! I'd be absolutely puuurfect for the job of taking care of your precious kitty. Cats are like my spirit animals, and I've got an uncanny knack for connecting with them on a deep level. I have been lucky to have two cats of my own in the past. Now I keep the cat love alive with regular Facetime sessions with my family's cat back home. As a full-time fashion designer, my schedule is a bit like a cat's curiosity – it's hybrid! I do venture into the office occasionally, but most days, I work from the comfort of my decent-sized one-bedroom apartment nestled between the Upper East Side and East Harlem. You can trust me to shower your kitty with all the attention they need, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and feeling the love while you're away. I'm genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting you and your furry friend! 🐱💖
PS: I love cat videos

Alfiya will be glad to help you with your cat/s until you return to the city. Your cats will live at the caregiver's apartment where they will be the only pets. Boarding is perfect for your longer term needs. If you are leaving the city for a few days we recommend cat sitting visits. Contact us and tell us more about your cat/s and the service you need.

America's native long haired breed

9/12/2023

2 Comments

 
The Maine Coon is one of the oldest breeds in North America. The Maine Coon is generally regarded as a native of the state of Maine (in fact, the Maine Coon is the official Maine State Cat). The breed originated when short haired cats bred with long haired cats brought to the area (perhaps Angora or Turkish cats brought to New England by seamen or other long haired cats introduces by the Vikings).

Maine Coons were popular competitors at early cat shows in Boston and New York. 'Cosie' a brown tabby female won Best Cat at the 1895 Madison Square Garden Show. Their popularity as show cats declined with the arrival in 1900 of the Persians. Although the Maine Coon remained a favorite cat in New England, the breed did not begin to regain its former popularity until 50's. MCBFA membership includes over 1000 fanciers and 200 breeders today.
Picture
Maine Coons were well established more than a century ago as a hardy, handsome breed of domestic cat, well equipped to survive hard New England winters. The Maine Coon is a strong, healthy cat.

Everything about the Maine Coon is designed to survive a harsh climate. Its coat, heavy and water-resistant, is like that of no other breed. The coat falls smoothly, and is almost maintenance-free: a weekly combing is all that is usually required to keep it in top condition. The long, bushy tail which the cat wraps around himself when he curls up to sleep can protect him from cold winters. His ears are heavily furred for protection from the cold. With their round, tufted feet are able to walk on snow. The relatively long muzzle facilitates lapping water from streams and puddles.

Maine Coons are muscular, tall cats; males can reach 13 to 18 pounds, females weigh about 9 to 12 pounds.

Maine Coons take time to develop, achieving their full size when they are 3 to 5 years old. Their character remains kittenish throughout their lives; they are big, gentle and good-natured.
While Maine Coons are people oriented cats, they are not overly dependent. They do not constantly pester you for attention, but prefer to "hang out" with their owners, investigating whatever activity you're involved in. They are not, as a general rule, known as "lap cats" but as with any personality trait there are a few Maine Coons that prefer laps. Most Maine Coons will stay close by, probably occupying the chair next to yours instead. Maines will follow you from room to room or wait outside a closed door for you to emerge. A Maine Coon will be your companion, your buddy, your pal. They make great family pets.

The Maine Coon is a popular breed in New York. Kitty in NY has many clients who need a temporary home for their Maine Coon: relocations, renovations, moving to a new apartment, a dream vacation or an important business trip. Kitty in NY is the perfect solution for all those occasions. Your cat will enjoy a temporary loving home until you return to the city. You will receive periodic updates. We have great options in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens. Contact us to book your next boarding service with us.

Gari provides cat sitting services in Crown Heights, Brooklyn

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!

Three years ago, on a rainy August evening in Miami, as I was walking up to my apartment, I suddenly encountered the love of my life. Off to the side of the path, there was a little gray and brown striped cat, wet and shivering. I stopped right where I stood, heart in my throat, and she ran right up to me. She weaved between my legs a bit before plopping herself right on my sneakered feet. I squealed (as quietly as I could) with delight: just 2 nights before, I had proclaimed to my roommate that we would be getting a cat. We had already began to rearrange our furniture, effectively baby- (or kitty-)proofing the space; we bought oodles of wet food, a comfy bed, a carrier, and tons of toys. We had no idea that 2 days later, we would be welcoming this small furry ball of energy, who came to be called Tootsie, into our home. I am so glad she did! 

My name is Gari François and I am a human of many talents. I am originally from NYC. I'm a Prep for Prep, Sacred Heart ('12), Wesleyan ('16), and AmeriCorps/City Year ('17, '18) alumna. I've lived in Miami (and briefly in Maryland) for the past 2 years. I came back to the Big Apple at the end of 2018 (for those keeping track: since moving back to NYC, Tootsie is currently living with my cousin and I visit her every other weekend). In addition to loving up on and caring for cats, a large portion of my time goes towards building my healing & coaching business, where I work to create spaces for folx to explore & better understand themselves, their feelings, and their purpose. When I'm not doing that, you can catch me cleaning/KonMari-ing people's homes, reading something about consciousness, drawing in my notebook, or working on any one of my numerous passion projects!

If you are looking for a reliable caregiver in or around Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Gari might be available. Cat sitting visits are the best solution for your short term needs (weekends, holidays, short business trips). You will receive updates 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!

I also work from home most days and will make sure they are given the attention they need to make sure they are happy, healthy, and loved in their time away from you. I look forward to meeting you and your kitty!

Anthony provided us with updates and photos. We mentioned that Pia isn't a great eater and he made sure to carefully monitor her eating. When we picked her up everything was packed and ready to go, and she was already in her carrier.
