Great people we have met! - Val

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, I’m Val! I’m an avid animal lover and your feline’s future friend. Since I was a kid, I raised all sorts of animals from ferrets to iguanas to chinchillas. I’ve had the pleasure of working at an animal hospital in Bayside, an adult care facility in Park Slope and currently teach part-time at a school in Kew Gardens, Queens. It is one of my callings in life to care for the unspoken souls of this world, be it critters, children or the elderly. When I’m not trying to save the world, I’m usually playing/listening to music, studying astrology or attempting to write the next great screenplay. If you reside in Queens, especially the Hillside/Briarwood/Jamaica area, I’m your guy! I can ensure you that your pet will not only be safe and sound, but will be dwelling in a both peaceful and spiritual environment.

Val loves animals! He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment if you are leaving the city for just a few days, our cat sitting visits are recommended for short term. Contact us and send us more details about your cat/s and the service you prefer, either boarding or cat sitting visits. 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!

Hi – My name is Larry and I am a life-long lover and aficionado of cats. I have always had at least one as a companion all through my young years, school, college, and my time here in New York. There is a picture of me at 9 months sitting on our very first cat, Tommy (he didn't mind). One of my favorites, Pip, lived to the grand age of 23.

I love all animals but have a special affinity for cats. I am very attuned to each one's unique personality as well as their particular wants and needs. I know when they want that extra play time as well as when they would like to relax alone.

I have a large apartment in Upper Manhattan with lots of space for running around and exploring, as well as several different cat condos and beds. Every kitty that stays with me would get the very best attention and care.

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!

"Time Spent With Cats Is Never Wasted" - Sigmund Freud

If you are located in the Village or the LES, Morgan might be available to help you with your cat. Our boarding service is recommended for longer services or very social cats. Cat sitting visits work best for short term (long weekends or holidays), a caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

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

She was very caring and considered how my cat has so much anxiety and honored his space. This was my first time boarding my cat and being without him since I adopted him at 15 weeks old. He's 2.5 years old now. She is very caring and we felt that we left Marshmellow in good hands.  Her apartment is very clean and organized and feels safe for any pet to stay.  I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services especially if it is your first time.

Elizabeth was boarding my two cats for two months and really created a wonderful home away from home for them. She stayed in touch with me and regularly sent updates on how they were doing, gave them a lot of care and attention. I would definitely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of car boarding.

Everything went really well for my cat Matilda’s stay with William.

William took really good care of Matilda, was very thoughtful for her needs and kept me updated throughout. She settled in straight away and looked very relaxed and happy which gave me huge peace of mind while away.

We will be in touch next time we go away so we can book William to care for her again!

​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 name is Albena and I live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment, near the Bronx Botanical Garden.  I know that your cat/s will love living here not only because of the abundance of space to run and leap, but also because I have a wonderful cat tree where they can climb and sharpen their claws.

I also provide cat sitting services in your home as I am willing to travel throughout the Bronx and Manhattan.  I am a professional dancer and my job provides me with a flexible schedule to meet your needs.  Your pet will be happy receiving the warmth and attention they deserve. 

If your kitty has special medical needs I am adept at administering pills, drops, subcutaneous fluids and diabetic injections.  My sensitivity for shy cats help to give extra soothing comfort.  My clients have returned to find their pets friends a bit sweeter.  Clients have been kind enough to provide me with a five star rating.
Picture
As a passionate animal lover, I grew up with cats predominately.  My entire family consists of cat people with amazing stories to tell.  My love and interest in the feline kingdom has grown over the years while owning numerous cats, deeply bonding with them, playing, cuddling, learning about their unique personalities and also witnessing (as difficult as it has been) their transitions.  It will be an honor and a pure joy to meet you and your furry friend/s...

If you live uptown or in the Bronx, Albena will provide the perfect temporary home for your cat/s. Her spacious apartment is kitty proof, your cat/s will enjoy the huge cat tree in her living room. Contact us with more information about your service.

KITTY in NY provides cat sitting and boarding services. Our 30 min cat sitting visits are recommended for short periods. If you need to leave for 10 days or more we can board your cat with one of our caregivers. Your kitty will be the only pet in the apartment. it is a great option for mid/long term periods. Read more about cat sitting and boarding in our blog.

Upon meeting Albena at the interview I was sure she was a cat lover, and that my cat Baby would have a great stay! Albena was so great at sending daily photos of Baby, which gave me great comfort that she was doing well! When I picked her up, it seemed as if Baby was so at home, she just might not want to leave!
All in all it was a great choice and I thank you so much!!!

Albena took care of our cat Chase for two weeks while we were away. Albena loves cats and has a special connection with them. She talks to them, plays with them and is very attentive to their needs. When Chase was not eating in the beginning of her visit Albena bought her special paste to bring back her appetite. She totally converted Chase to healthier food, which she refused to eat in the past. She sent us regular updates, and we found Chase very relaxed and comfortable in her home two weeks later.

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 have a great spacious one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Forest Hills. I live alone and my apartment is very safe for the cats. I have taken care of cats for over 15 years.  The cats usually take over my apartment and I just pay the rent.... They always feel very comfortable and they can sleep with me in my room, go on the couch, pretty much whatever they want to do. I keep treats for the cats when the behave and am very gentle with the cats. I love playing with them as well as I am at a Petland buying up the store for them.

They call me the "cat lady" so to speak... I have had a lap cat in the past and simply loved when she would curl up on my lap. My last two cats lived until 20 and 21  years of age... they were pretty much spoiled. Well that is pretty much my "cat life story". Rest assured you cat would be extremely safe with me.
  I am experienced in giving medication to cats.

I'm now retired so your cats won't feel lonely.

A big shout-out goes out to Beth for handling my not-so-easy Bengal Pigeon. Beth watched Pigeon for 3 weeks. Not only did she survive his neediness and torrent of meows, but Mr. Pigeon came back to house calmer than he left. Beth even got him into a feeding routine that will greatly please our vet, since he’s gained a little weight (a goal for our picky old man). She’s very experienced with cats. I would leave Pigeon with her again in heartbeat; and I dare say, he enjoyed the time that he spent with her too. Many thanks to all!

Beth was fantastic about keeping me up-to-date with Mochi's well-being/condition for the duration of Mochi's stay with her. Mochi seemed very happy and content in the photos, and upon her return home with me, she was extremely relaxed without any apparent anxiety or clinginess. Mochi's happy state was a very good indication that she was well cared for during her stay with Beth. Beth asked a lot of great, thoughtful questions when I dropped off Mochi, and she took the time to show me around the spaces that Mochi would be in and to make sure that everything was set up for Mochi to settle in quickly. All in all, I'm very thankful that Mochi was in such great hands and I thank Kitty in NY for matching us up.

Great people we have met! - Denny

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’m Denny Daniel and I am curator and founder of The Museum of Interesting Things. I teach kids and adults and so have a friendly curious attitude and get along with people as well as pets!  I work for myself so I am home a lot. My last cat Tristan was a rescue and I loved him more than anything and he was pampered and sweet. I also cat sat for all my friends' cats for years too so I am used to various cats. I want to share that love now. I live with my mother in a beautiful clean large private house in Jamaica Estates Queens so your cat will also be pampered like my dear Tristan was. I also have an apt in the Village where the Museum resides and own a car so I can also pick up and drop off your cat from anywhere. I love driving. I am a photographer and teach so your cat pics will be the cat’s meow! 
If you have to leave the city for a long period of time in-home boarding is the best solution. You cat will be the only pet, you will receive periodic updates during the service. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

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.

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 name is Lori. I live in a pre-war 3 bedroom in the low W. 70’s near Broadway with my mother and my 12 year old son. I grew up in West Virginia, and always had pets. My favorite cat right before I moved to New York was named Smoky. We were inseparable. I specifically love cats. After I moved to New York, I rescued three cats. They were named Ghandi, Pudding and Sam. Sam lived to be nearly 19. I still miss him.

My son, Magnus, is very gentle and loves all animals. He wants to be a marine biologist. He always looks forward to summer camp at the Central Park zoo.

We are looking forward to welcoming your cat into our home. He/she will be well cared for.


Lori is looking forward to meeting you.

Kim provides in home-boarding services in the East Village, NYC

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 name is Kim. I'm an interior designer that recently relocated my design studio in my two bedroom apartment. I recently created a new business "the curated home office" that is completely virtual.  Now I have time to be home and not running around or directing a design staff. Cats are the style queens and kings so I will have to ask them if the paint color is the right shade. 
Picture
My first cat appeared out of nowhere on the roof of my house, two weeks after my father and grandmother died suddenly. I realized at the tender age of 12 that cats were always going to be part of my life. They always find me. 

​Living in Tokyo a cat appeared in my window . I found Bee Bee, Chi Chi and the Boo 
under similar circumstances, abandoned and in need of a home . I also rescued a dog from a dumpster with cigarette burns . Her name was Pitunia (yes a tiny pit bull ) She was more like a cat than a dog living with two other felines. She lived to be 14 years so now you know I am not spring chicken. Like I said  they find me.

My  Millie  cat , renamed Millie Vanili had a lot of health issues at 15.  I recently had to put her down during the height of the pandemic. It was traumatic .

I am not ready to adopt another cat quite honestly and I miss them so dearly ... why not show that love to another's sweetie pie. I am the perfect aunt I always have gum and tissues in my bag and I always have catnip and toys in my house. 
​

If you're located on the Lower East Side or East Village, Kim will provide a perfect home for your furry friend until you're available. In-Home Boarding is a good solution for long term or very social cats. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

I can’t even begin to express how amazing Kim was and how happy our kitty, Little Bits, was staying with her! We could tell from the second our zoom meeting with her started that she was going to be an amazing caretaker for our new family member. It’s obvious how much Kim loves kitties and how warm and fun she’d be as a sitter. She updated us on our little girl with pictures and videos and emails. It was really hard to leave our new addition in someone else’s home so soon after rescuing her, but Kim made it so easy and comforted us the whole time we were gone. I couldn’t imagine a better cat sitter exists out there!

I am so lucky to have met Kim. 
Kim is a very friendly lady, she is gentle and enthusiastic, and smiles all day. She took great care with my little boy cat I named Draco, more then I could have imagined. She cared for Draco like a mother to a son. She used to have experience with several cats and dogs, and she knows very well how to take care of a cat. She knows what cats like, what they need, what their behavior and emotions are like, and how to take care different kinds of them. 

Half a year ago, I had to leave Draco along in New York City, and my heart broke, but thankfully, I found Kim. The first time I saw her home through the video, I felt like I can trust her—her room is very warm and clean, with wood floor, carpets; it all felt very peaceful. Her windows were well protected and it just felt like the best place for my cat to be. 

In the last half year, she is just like what I felt and even better. Thanks to her, I was not that worried about Draco’s wellbeing (although I worried for him and missed him dearly). She treated Draco as a friend and family member. She combed Draco’s hair every day, and let Draco stay in his favorite spot on the carpet. She gave him premium wet food. Draco was getting sunshine and look out to the street every morning, sleeping with her at night. I realized that I hadn’t been treating him to the level that Kim was - I learned many good habits from her.  

She also sent me Draco’s photos every week, which gave me the chance to see what he was up to and how he looked. In the video and photo, I could see Draco trusted and loved her. Under her care, when I got Draco half a year later, I found out he become more gentle and soft, kinder, leaner and stronger. 

Draco is back in my arms right now, I hope Kim can find another little friend to keep company. And Hey! Believe me, she will be your best choice.
​
I saw four families on Kitty in NY, met all of them, and have one experience with another lady two years ago. No one was as good as Kim. She has great experience, friendly, kind, and so caring. She will take very good care of your cat, because she is their friend and keeps them company.

For over 6 years, I have watched cats ranging from kittens to seniors and have loved every minute! I’m a huge cat person myself and have a black and white named Chicken :) (she lives with my parents back home in Maryland).

Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take the best care possible with their pets. Having a cat myself has given me the love and nurture for other furry friends. 

I currently go into work 5 days a week but have an hour lunch break so I am pretty flexible! My weekend schedules are also pretty free as well. 

Looking forward to meeting your fur ball! Leave your paws in safe hands :)
