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’m Jen. Originally from Pennsylvania I’ve been a New Yorker for the past 18 years. I love all animals but have a particular soft spot for cats. I currently live with 5 sweet little rescues, two of whom are blind. All of whom are so very sweet and loving. Each of these darlings have been with me since they were kittens. Lucy and Lucky are the senior citizens, 15 and 14 years old. Lucky is a funny little boy who thrives on beauty treatments with the hair dryer and is obsessed with water. Actually likes to drink out of a glass. And this silly fella jumps in the shower with me. How cute is that! I am well-schooled in giving medications as well as shots or fluids, and have been through it all with them. Every morning I wake with a cat by my head and love it. I would love to help take care of your fur babies as well.

Picture
Jen will take excellent care of your cats while you're away. She will visit your cat/s and send photo updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. 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!

Hello there! My name is Jomary. I am a Bronx native and first grade teacher. I love all animals big and small, especially those of the feline variety. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, singing, taking pictures, reading, and cooking. I previously had my grey tabby cat, Tommy, for 15 years until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I now open my home and time to kitties in need of a caretaker when their owners are away. I love all cats; to the fluffiest, sweetest, slimmest, chonkiest, dramatic, bob-tailed, mitten-wearing, bare-skinned, and spicy ones. My home is a cozy abode with warm tones and a natural feel. I want your kitty to feel comfortable in my home just as I am. Cuddles, playtime, and one-sided conversations with occasional meows by your cat are included!
Picture
If you live near Washington Heights and plan to leave the city for a few days, weeks or months, Jomary could be your perfect match. We recommend cat sitting visits for short term, a caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment and send an update after each visit. Boarding is the best solution for long term, you bring your pet to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be the only pet. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll be glad to answer your questions and connect you with the best service provider in your area.

Sylvia, Your Purr-fect Cat Sitter!

Hello, fellow cat lovers! I'm Sylvia, and while my dream of adopting a feline friend is sadly thwarted by my mischievous allergies (think watery eyes and sneezes that could launch a small rocket), my love for cats is boundless. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring a unique blend of responsibility, responsiveness, and genuine care to every cat I meet. My extensive foster cat experience means I'm adept at understanding feline behavior and providing a safe, enriching environment for your beloved companion. Since I can only sustain life on short-term doses of cat love, I'm eager to shower your kitty with affection and ensure their well-being while you're away.

Picture
Sylvia may be available to board your cat(s) in her cozy home in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. Home boarding is an ideal solution for longer stays—your cat(s) will stay in the caregiver’s apartment as the only pet, receiving personalized attention in a calm, secure environment. Reach out to us with details about your cat(s) and the type of care you’re looking for—we’ll get back to you promptly!

Let us know your travel plans and any preferences, and we’ll match you with the best fit for your feline companion.

10/7/2025

0 Comments

 
At KITTY in NY, we are proud to work with caregivers who combine skill, reliability, and genuine affection for every cat they meet. Maureen is one of those special people.

A long-time member of our team, Maureen returns to Kitty in NY after taking time off to nurse her own newly adopted cat back to health—an experience that deepened her already strong understanding of feline needs. With years of cat care experience, she is skilled at engaging with playful, chatty cats while also offering gentle comfort to senior kitties who simply crave a soft pet or a warm tummy rub.

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 live on the Upper West Side and need a trusted, attentive cat sitter, Maureen could be the perfect match. Cat sitting visits are ideal for short-term care, whether for a quick trip or a few weeks away. You’ll receive photo updates after each visit, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and cared for.
​
Contact us with details about your cat(s) and the service you need—we’ll be happy to connect you with Maureen or another trusted caregiver.

As always, Maureen was wonderful. She takes such great care of my cats, sends me detailed updates and lots of pictures, and is very responsive to any requests that I have. I feel totally happy leaving the cats in her care. With other cat sitters, My shy cats would often hide the entire time, but with her, they always come out and say hello. Thank you, Maureen!

Maureen was attentive, thoughtful, and so very sweet to Suki! We loved all her photos and timely emails, and felt comforted by all of her knowledgeable questions when she first came to visit us and meet Suki. We would be so happy to have Maureen come take care of Suki again. She was great!

Maureen bonded with my cat Cooper instantly at their first meeting, so I felt confident that this would work. Maureen then provided excellent communication – before and during the trip – with quick response to emails and much appreciated daily updates and photos showing Cooper at play. Best of all, Cooper seems completely happy, healthy and well cared for. Maureen was terrific!

Tim - by email
Maureen was easy to coordinate with to set up the initial meeting. During our vacation, Maureen sent us pictures every day. When we arrived home, the cats were healthy and happy.

Dan - by email
Maureen was incredibly responsive, really knew her stuff about taking care of my cat, went over and above in terms of making sure he had food that he needed and would eat despite his just having switched over to a renal care diet. He’s also a tricky cat to bond with, but she had him purring the whole way, & kept me up to speed with photos and updates. It really put me at ease that my little guy was in good hands. 

Suzanne - by email
Maureen was fantastic! She was caring and loving with our favorite boy, Leopold :-) She sent us great photos and kept us updated on all his funny shenanigans! It was great to know that he was comfortable and well taken care of while we were away. I will definitely be requesting Maureen in the future!

6 Superpowers of Cats You Didn’t Know About

10/2/2025

0 Comments

 
At Kitty in NY, we’ve always believed that cats are not just pets—they are extraordinary creatures with hidden powers that make them fascinating companions. Living with a cat means sharing your home with a little superhero disguised in fur. Today, we’ll uncover six of their most incredible “superpowers.”
​
1. Night Vision
Have you ever wondered how your cat manages to dash across the room in total darkness without bumping into anything? Cats’ eyes are designed to capture even the smallest amount of light, giving them superb night vision. While they can’t see in complete darkness, their vision is about six times more powerful than ours in low light.

​2. Super Hearing
Your cat may seem to be napping, but don’t be fooled—those ears are always on alert. Cats can hear higher frequencies than dogs and humans, detecting even the faintest rustle of a mouse or the softest squeak of a toy. This ability comes straight from their wild ancestors, who relied on acute hearing to hunt.

3. Whisker Radar

A cat’s whiskers are far more than adorable facial features. They are highly sensitive tools that help measure spaces, detect changes in air currents, and sense nearby objects—even in the dark. Think of them as nature’s GPS system, guiding your cat safely through any environment.

​4. The Balancing Tail

One of the reasons cats are so graceful is their tail. It acts as a counterbalance, helping them land on their feet, walk across narrow spaces, and make those famous acrobatic jumps. The next time you see your cat leap effortlessly, remember: it’s their tail keeping them steady.

5. Healing Purrs
Purring isn’t just a sign of happiness—it’s also believed to have healing properties. Studies suggest that the vibrations of a cat’s purr can promote relaxation, lower stress, and even support bone healing. When your cat curls up on your lap and purrs, it’s like having a built-in therapy session.

6. Incredible Agility
Cats can jump up to six times their body length in a single bound. Combined with their flexible spines and lightning reflexes, this makes them some of the most athletic creatures in the animal kingdom. Whether it’s leaping onto the top of a shelf or chasing a toy, their agility is simply unmatched.
​
Living with a cat means living alongside all these amazing abilities every single day. At Kitty in NY, we love celebrating what makes cats so special—and making sure they’re cared for when you can’t be there. For shorter trips, our Cat Sitting service is the ideal option: a caregiver will visit your home and provide food, playtime, and updates after each visit. If you’re leaving New York for several weeks or months, In-Home Boarding is the perfect solution—your cat stays at a caregiver’s apartment where they’ll be the only pet and receive plenty of love and attention.

Contact us today with more details about your cat and your travel dates—we’ll be happy to help you find the best care option for your feline superhero!
