Easy! Communication was good and I was placed with a caregiver right away. $30/day is more reasonable compared to $50/day others were quoting which I wouldn’t spend. Sashi sent me a picture every day of my cat which is what I wanted and extended a day out without concerns. All went very well! I also like you pay for part of the service afterwards (pickup) to ensure they take good care of the animal and don’t abandon them - makes me feel better.

Shashi was very responsive and communicative. He stayed in touch every day to assure us that Mooncake was fine, sharing texts and photos. He was reliable and accessible, and he obviously took good care of Mooncake. The entire process was smooth and flawless.

​Christmas is around the corner. If you have cats sharing your life, you might want to buy them something special. If not, you might have a friend or a relative who would love to receive a cat gift. At Kitty in NY we use cat supplies and tools every day. We have selected a few items that will help you and your cat enjoy your every day:

Cat scratcher: cats need to scratch to keep their claws in shape. PetFusion Ultimate Scratcher will satisfy almost any cat and provides a great stand to nap!

A good litter box is every cat (and cat owner) dream.Nature's Miracle High-Sided Litter Box fullfills most requirements: mold and mildew resistan, high sides to prevent litte scatter, non-stick surface for easy cleaning. You can pair this litter box with a DuraScoop Cat Litter scoop!

Cats need to travel to the vet, or might need transportation to get to a temporary home provided by Kitty in NY. The best way to transport your cat is using a Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed! Your cat will love using it all the time and will not miss his/her bed while she's away.

If your cat is young you need one of this to release all the energy and satisfy his/her hunting instincts: this feather teaser will last a long time and will keep your cat busy and athletic.

A cat water fountain provides fresh filtered water to encourage a cat to drink more water throughout the day, and studies have shown that running water is more appealing to some cats. Rellaty proposes this stainless steel fountain your kitties will love!

We are huge fans and while Barry has always been great, Caroline was also fantastic!

Caroline was extremely thorough in reviewing all of the details of our kitties needs and was extremely professional while being friendly, warm, and caring with the cats upon meeting them.

She was diligent in sending daily updates and pictures and, considering this was the first time we had left all four of our kitty family members alone for such an extensive time period, Caroline's professionalism and obvious love for and knowledge of cats calmed us tremendously, allowing us to enjoy our vacation.

Several years ago, I was at a Thanksgiving celebration with my relatives. Most of the food had made it onto the dining room table, but for some reason all of the people were still in the kitchen or in the living room. We migrated en masse to the dining room and found the cat on the table. He was helping himself to the gravy.

It was obvious that everyone present was a cat lover. Several photos were taken before the cat was removed from the table. And we still ate the gravy.

If my pal Buster were allowed unfettered access to a laden Thanksgiving table I can only imagine the decimation that would occur to the dinner and the dog. Fortunately, cats aren’t as prone to extreme gluttony and subsequent pancreatitis and bloat.

However, cat parents might be wondering which Thanksgiving foods are safe to share with cats — and which foods they should avoid.

Thanksgiving Foods and Cats — Some General Advice
Your cat shouldn’t be up on your Thanksgiving table, but if you want to share some of your Turkey Day feast, here’s what foods are safe for her to eat. 

First, remember that any cat might have specific food intolerances or allergies. So even if something is generally safe for cats, it might not be safe for your cat. Second, remember that moderation is key. If you allow your cat to feast at Thanksgiving to the extent that I do, then your cat, like me, will probably feel ill after the dinner. Unlike with me, however, that feeling of illness might progress to real illness. And some things, as will be outlined below, might be mildly toxic to cats and therefore should be minimized.

Let’s look at specific Thanksgiving foods that are safe for cats:

Can Cats Eat Thanksgiving Turkey? 
Yes. This staple of Thanksgiving happens to be completely edible and delicious for felines. Skinless white meat is most benign, but most cats can handle dark meat or a bit of skin and giblets as well. I remember as a child my father would give a hearty helping of skin, fat, and giblets to the cat every Thanksgiving. I was worried that it could cause heart disease in the cat. I had not yet learned that fat and cholesterol do not contribute significantly to heart disease in cats, and possibly not in humans either. However, the fattier parts of the turkey are more likely to cause upset stomach, so go easy.

Can Cats Eat Gravy?
The cat I mentioned above suffered no adverse consequences from his gravy lapping. However, remember that gravy is fatty and salty. Moderation is key, and the salt could cause problems for cats with pre-existing heart conditions.

Can Cats Eat Mashed Potatoes?
I like to make my mashed potatoes with lots of garlic, onion, shallots, half-and-half and butter. It turns out that garlic, onions and shallots can cause Heinz body anemia in cats. And many cats are lactose intolerant, so the half-and-half could be a problem. However, garlic isn’t cyanide and half-and-half isn’t acetaminophen (which is massively toxic to cats). Most cats could survive a bite or two of my potatoes. And they certainly could tolerate milder, less rich mixtures. But I wouldn’t recommend serving up mashed potatoes to your cat.

Can Cats Eat Stuffing?
Again, garlic and onions could be a problem. And the bread laden with delicious turkey grease might cause gastrointestinal issues. It’s best to keep your cat out of the stuffing.

Can Cats Eat Green Bean Casserole? 
The green beans are no problem, but the canned onions are. This is a no-no for cats.

Can Cats Eat Cranberry Sauce?
Although it’s certainly not a part of a cat’s natural diet, it’s not toxic either. I learned in vet school that cats supposedly are not attracted to sweet items or tart items. My experience, however, has been different. I’m sure that some cats love cranberry sauce. Fortunately I doubt that any problems will occur if your cat breaks into yours, unless it’s so loaded with brandy that the cat gets drunk.

Can Cats Eat Rolls and Breads?
Plain rolls and bread should not be a problem. Garlic bread, on the other hand, introduces a risk of Heinz body anemia.

A Final Word of Caution on All Thanksgiving Foods for Cats:
For the record, I am not advocating that cat owners pile heaping dishes of Thanksgiving food for their cats. In fact, really the only food that I can unhesitatingly recommend for most cats is skinless turkey breast. But if your cat drinks a bit of gravy, or licks a bit of cranberry sauce, or noshes on a roll or digs into the lime Jell-O, you probably don’t need to be worried.Also, remember not to feel too sorry for your cat when you do not share your delicious Thanksgiving meal with her. She already no doubt has plenty for which to be thankful.

Mercy is a very shy and anxious cat, and Denny was able to put her completely at ease by day 2 of her stay. She ate so well, she even gained a pound while there! We could not be happier with this great service!

Denny looked after our Logan for about a week. He was very welcoming, and gave Logan his own space to explore and decompress. Logan seemed comfortable almost right away! Denny was very communicative, and sent updates and pics almost every day we were away. It was great having peace of mind that our boy was well looked after. Pick-up was a breeze - Denny had Logan's water fountain and litter tray bagged up and ready to go when we arrived. He's also quite the character! It was a treat getting to know him.

Denny was very attentive and caring, and his house was really perfect. He sent me numerous pictures and updates, and treated my cat as if he were his own. I really couldn't hope for a better caregiver and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Grace lives in a stylish one bedroom apartment. She is ready to welcome cat guests! There is a balcony here which always remains closed but the windows and door provide nice outdoor watching for a kitty. There is space for a cat to wander around and also plenty of soft resting spots. Grace also provides cat sitting visits so she is an experienced cat caregiver and will give loving attention to cats at her home whatever the temperament, age or breed.
