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!

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.

Christmas eve

12/13/2024

Matt happened to be a young guy, on his late 30’s. He limped a little bit, as if he had had an accident and was still recovering. One of his eyes was slightly closed (as if he was always winking an eye). His tone was very soft and soothing. He was going away for the holidays, visiting his girlfriend’s family in Paris. That is why they couldn't take their cat Sisi with them. Sisi and Matt had a common trait: their striking blue eyes.

Sisi was an inquisitive and talkative Siamese. Her constant low tone meowing accompanied her all day long, as if she was holding a conversation with herself. She was athletic and thin. I soon found her sleeping on top of the fridge or high on the kitchen cabinets. She ignored me all day. We inhabited the same space but in parallel dimensions.

Anyway, we were destined to share that Christmas season. It was not a sad or melancholic period. After my childhood I never cared for Christmas. The brotherly love and cheer of the season did not correspond to what I saw around me every day. I wasn’t into Christmas shopping and decorations. When I was a young woman I was convinced no dress or make up would help me look better, I thought my body was hideous. This yearly invasion of red, green and snow marked the beginning of long winter. On Christmas eve, Sisi had a can of Fancy Feast (flaked grilled salmon) and I heated a can of Campbell Chicken Soup. It was a quiet Christmas eve, just the two of us. Mrs Pearl and Sisi, my siamese kitty guest.. After having dinner we both moved in silence to the living room were Sisi took a nap and I watched cheap Christmas flicks on channel 31. Merry Christmas!

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!

For over 40 years I have had the wonderful experience of having my loving kitties. I recently had to put my last kitty (Cookie) to sleep, which was extremely detrimental to me as I had her from 4 months to 19 years of age. At this juncture of my life, which includes retirement from The Board of Education of New York, I would just like to care for other people’s cats since I can’t handle the heartbreak again.

If you live in or around Union Square, NY and are looking for in cat boarding services we recommend that you connect with Carol. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Sharisse was very thorough in preparing for her appointment, including asking important clarifying questions (regarding feeding instructions, cat personalities, etc.) and checking in with me in advance of the appointment to reconfirm & ensure there hadn't been any changes. I appreciated that she also provided an approximate time window for when she would stop by. During the appointment, Sharisse followed our instructions perfectly, and went above & beyond with tidying up the cat litter area. I was super impressed and delighted that Sharisse brought a set of cat toys with her, and sent us photos and videos of playtime - Leo really enjoyed himself! (Archie prefers to avoid interaction with new people, so she just watched.) Sharisse is a brilliant, well-organized caregiver who clearly loves & understands cats. I hope to book her for our next trip!

Every morning and night, she sent me photos and videos of my cat with some text saying exactly what she had done with him and how he was doing.

Great people we have met! - Laura

12/3/2024

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!

A native of Romania, I lived in Belgium for a number of years before coming to the US. I now very much enjoy life in New York City, and this is home. As a licensed Real Estate professional I often work from home, and have a flexible schedule. My one bedroom apartment, located in East Harlem (111th Street), has the space and ambience for your kitty to play. Since I have a backyard with trees your kitty can enjoy watching the birds and squirrels from the window.

Presley was 7 year old when he adopted me. He was chuck-full of personality. When I sat in a chair he’d jump in my lap. He constantly followed me around the house, slept in bed with me, and showed his discontent when I was going out. A very playful fellow he loved having his belly rubbed. He lived to be 14 years old and I miss him to this day.

My friend has a new kitty, just 6 months old. She gets very excited when I visit, jumps around and plays with everything that moves, chews on my fingers…ah, so adorable.

Laura provides cat sitting visits in the Upper East Side and East Harlem. Laura is the perfect option. Cat sitting is a great option for short term services or a very shy cat. She will take care of you cat/s until you return. Contact us and send more details about the service you need.

Laura LOVES cats and took really good care of our cat Obi. She didn't simply feed him, change his water and cleaned his litter. We were away for 2 weeks and Laura sent us daily updates with pics and videos of Obi playing with her, or doing the cat's thing; hanging out oblivious to human presence:) He obviously was in good hands. Laura understood Obi's routine immediately and went along with it . First eat, then play, then hang out, then little trip to the kitchen to check if by any miracle there was more food:) I highly recommend Laura. She will take good care of your furry friend.

Laura updated me every day during visits, sending videos and photos. My cat is timid, but seemed to get along well with Laura, letting her pet and brush her. I would definitely have Laura cat sit in the future!

As per our agreement she delivered. My cat was putty in Laura's hands and she actually got my cat to play with the toys and not be a diva.

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 native New Yorker and a HUGE animal lover and advocate. I've grown up taking care of animals, dogs and cats, and I currently have two rescue dogs (babies)!

I love and respect cats and enjoy they're different personalities.

Working for Kitty NY is a great job for me since my love of animals runs deep!

I am a professional dancer/actor here in NYC. (I am fully vaccinated and boosted and will wear a mask while inside your home if needed!)

Marie Rose will be happy to visit your cat/s while you're away. Please send us more details about the service you need, we will do our best to find a solution for your cat care needs.

Marie was very friendly and professional. I even accidentally locked her out, and she informed me immediately and worked with me to get access to my apartment so that she could take care of Oliver (oops!). I told Marie that she didn't need to scoop the litter daily really, but Marie did because she clearly cared about how Oliver was doing! She sent me very cute videos and clearly took care of my old guy. And she even brought up the dry cleaning the doorman handed her (!! definitely not intended). Couldn't recommend Marie more, she's fantastic :)
