Lillian provides cat boarding services in Kensington, Brooklyn

3/28/2020

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 an ardent cat person! I had two wonderful cats, Tezzy and Lanny, when I was growing up, and I have been a caregiver for cats ever since. I have fostered kittens myself and have been fortunate enough to be the go-to cat sitter for friends for years. When I was in London for grad school, I cat sit regularly for Cat in a Flat (I still miss some of my regular clients!). I have experience with cats of all ages, breeds, needs, and nationalities.

I was raised in Nebraska and went to undergrad at Stanford University in California. I'm an actor and writer, and I also love knitting, baking, and hiking. I never pass up a chance to make a feline friend - very little brings me as much joy as caring for and interacting with cats.

If you're located in or around Kensington, Lillian 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.

12/6/2019

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 there. I'm a semi-retired media executive who lives by himself in a spacious studio within the newly constructed part of Riverside Center along the Hudson. The apartment is uncluttered and roomy with a nice view of the street. There's a cozy wide window ledge for your cat to gaze from. There are lots of schools in the immediate area and lots of people walking dogs so cats have plenty to look at to pass the time.
Before moving to this wonderful space, my family and I had cats for 24 years. In fact, we always had two cats at any given time. I'm very feline-friendly and always enjoyed their companionship and their quirkiness. My work schedule is very flexible and mostly done from home so your cat certainly won't be lonely ... simply well cared for.

If you live on the UWS Jim would be glad to help you with your cat. He provides in-home boarding. Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Hi, my name is Katie. I have 2 cats that are brother and sister. I rescued them when they were kittens, 2 baby kittens in a bucket, and they are now 14 years old. They are my babies and I understand the need to have your babies taken care of with love as you would yourself. I am starting to go through the different ailments that senior cats develop. One has asthma and the other has bowel disease and the beginning stages of kidney disease. I've had to change what they eat, how they eat, give them various medications and extra love. I have been a caregiver of cats for most of my life and absolutely love it.

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.

10/29/2019

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 Branson LB, and I've been taking care of cats my whole life. As a kid, my most beloved cat was an orange tabby named Amber. He was truly a member of the family as he was loving, cuddly, and would even fetch like a dog! Growing up with cats, I came to love cats while also understanding that every cat is different and has a unique personality. Soon after graduating college in Los Angeles, I began to foster and take care of kittens in my apartment, while also finding them each a forever home. Now, living in New York, I have recently begun to regularly cat sit in the city. It has brought me so much joy that I started to want to do it even more. I live in a minimal, modern junior one bedroom in the Lower East Side. It's clean and there is plenty of room for cats to perch, as well as plenty of places to tuck away.

I've been living in New York for about two and a half years. I previously worked at BuzzFeed as a video producer, and I now work as a freelance videographer and editor. In my free time I enjoy biking around the city, exercising, and reading in the park.

I hope I have the opportunity to meet you, and take care of your cat!

If you live ion the Lower East Side and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Branson. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Miriam and Andy provide in home boarding in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY

10/1/2019

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!

Both Andy and I grew up surrounded by cats. Andy (from Philadelphia) is the youngest of 4 siblings and has lived with cats since he was a baby. I grew up with 3 sisters in Norway and had up to 5 cats at a time. We helped care for and clean up after our cats and have fond memories of all of the cats in our lives. Our earlier apartments haven’t been suitable for pets, but one year my roommate had two, and I realized how nice this city can be when you have cats to come home to. After getting married last May we purchased a beautiful pre-war condo apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. The apartment is clean, spacious, and minimal making it a perfect host apartment for kitties. We always spoke about bringing cats into our lives when we get settled. We might get cats of our own down the road, but right now helping out with temporary stays is perfect for us!

I’ve been working freelance as a makeup artist for 11 years and moved to NY in 2012. I met Andy at work where he does production and photo. In our free time we enjoy watching a play or a movie, biking around the city, yoga, and have friends over for dinner.

We are excited to get to know the cat owners in our new community :)

If you live in or around Clinton Hill, Brooklyn and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Miriam and Andy. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Miriam and Andrew were attentive to our cat's needs throughout his weekend stay. They emailed us twice with very well written descriptions of the cat's daily activities, as well as a video and photos of our cat to show that he had adjusted well to their place.

As to communications regarding drop off and pick up, Miriam and Andrew readily available via email to ensure seamless coordination. They provided an accurate and ample window of time for which they would be present, thereby relieving us of any undue stress in the event of city traffic.

Finally, our cat was content upon his arrival back home, and slept peacefully throughout the evening. Based on this and the above, we recommend Miriam and Andrew for future caregiving services.

Sharisse was awesome! She wrote down all the instructions to be sure not to miss anything. 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. The videos showed her playing with him, brushing him, or him eating. He looked like he was doing really well and having a lot of fun with her, so I wasn't worried about him at all while I was gone! She told me that she really loves cats, which is evident. She bonded with my cat easily and I completely trusted her with him. She was also very flexible and easy to work with.

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 whole life I wanted cats but could never have any due to a parent’s allergies. Fortunately, New York City is full of cat lovers, and growing up in Manhattan, I was able to make cats a part of my life by cat-sitting for friends. I have seen friends’ cats grow from kittenhood to old age. Besides cat sitting for friends, I’ve been a dog walker and volunteered at animal rescue organizations, including a cat cafe where I socialized kittens for adoption. I’ve gotten to know cats with a variety of personalities, abilities, and ages, and am continuing to learn about cat behavior. I respect each cat’s way of communicating, and let them come to me on their terms.

I’m a native New Yorker. I studied film at Hunter College and am pursuing a career in animation.

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’ve always been strongly drawn to animals, especially cats. It all started with me fostering a pregnant cat named Snooks while I was in high school. She was shy and timid at first, but we quickly became close friends and it was such an amazing and eye opening experience to help raise all of her eventual kittens. After I managed to get them all adopted by loving families and Snooks went back to her original owner, I couldn’t help but miss them. But I also couldn’t wait to start again. It soon became a common sight seeing 5-6 cats/kittens scampering around my house.

Ever since then I’ve fallen in love with looking after and taking care of cats.

I’ve been fostering cats 2011, and I’ve been a cat sitter for independent clients and professional agencies since 2016. I occasionally look after my roommate’s twin kitties as well. I’ve experienced cats with all different types of personalities and quirks, from the super outgoing to the super skittish, so I’m prepared for anything. I have experience with dogs and reptiles too, so don’t feel afraid to ask!

I’m originally from LA and came to NYC for school, and decided to stick around after I graduated. I’m an aspiring graphic designer and illustrator who happens to also have a strong fondness for furry animals! I love caring for cats and making sure they ultimately receive the care and affection that they require to continue living happy and healthy.

I have been spending time around cats my whole life. First, a Siamese cat named Humphrey, then two named Hugo and Bella. I have grown up with cats, and absolutely love spending time with them! I have been petsitting since I was about 10, when I posted flyers around my neighborhood offering my services each summer. These days, I don’t get to spend so much time around animals, as I am a college student and haven’t had the opportunity. I have fostered several cats, one of which was very sick who I successfully nursed back to health through administering medication and syringe-feeding food and water. I find that looking after animals is so rewarding, and have a deep appreciation and love for all animals.

I am currently a student at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study studying Film Criticism through a Feminist Lens. It is my final semester, so I have lots of free time to spend looking after kitties! I live in DUMBO, and a, happy to serve the surrounding areas such as Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill.

I began working in veterinary hospitals in the early 80’s while an undergraduate at NYU. I worked a total of ten years in veterinary hospitals in Manhattan both as head receptionist and eventually, hospital manager. Over the course of my career in the field, I adopted many abandoned pets many of whom had special needs. I have been pet sitting for over 35 years and can administer insulin, sub-q fluids and oral antibiotics. I will make sure your beloved kitties are well taken care of in your absence ad you will receive daily updates including photos.

If you live in Jersey City, Hoboken or on the west side of Manhattan below 34th Street, Emily is the cat sitter you have been looking for. Book her today for your next trip out of the city. Kitty in NY will help you find the best caregiver for in home boarding or cat sitting services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and we will be happy to help you.

They were very loving towards my cat, sent great pictures and detailed updates. Took very good care of my cat-son while I was away for both times I’ve used the service.

In 2004, I officially became a "cat person" when my wife (Monique) and I got together. Along with Monique, two sweet cats named Felix and Milo came into my life. I remember sitting on Monique's couch early in our dating, and Milo jumped up on my lap. That one sweet act hooked me! Felix and Milo were the best of buddies and gave us so much joy for years until they both passed in 2013. They were the same age. Within a year, we had adopted two new boys - Hershey and Nugget. Hershey is a beautiful Bombay black cat, and Nugget is a handsome brown tabby. At only four years old each, we are treated every day to the energy and entertainment that young cats bring. Just yesterday, there was a squirrel on our terrace, and Hershey and Nugget were transfixed on the squirrel and talking up a storm, as if the squirrel was hearing every word they said!

My many years of caring for Felix, Milo, Hershey and Nugget have taught me exactly what cats need. Not only food, water and litter needs, but love, affection and play needs. I will bring this knowledge and care with great pride to looking after your cat(s). When not cat-sitting, I am a professional musician (a trombone player) who primarily plays Broadway shows, including Ain't Too Proud, The Cher Show, and King Kong, among others, as well as the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. I am also a very avid Mets fan.

If you live in upper Manhattan or the surrounding area, Brian will be delighted to look after your cat and send regular kitty updates after each visit to your home so you will know your cat is well cared for while you are away.

I have always had kitties in my life, I can't remember a time when i didn't. I grew up with a rescue cat named Meeko (still miss him everyday!) and have taken care of friends' cats here and there since I moved to the city. To prepare to have kitties come stay with me through Kitty in NY I've moved all my plants out of the way, hidden all my cords, and picked up some mouse toys.

I am an actress who has many jobs to support myself and my art and cat sitting would be perfect because I'd get to work from home a lot more often and have the company of cuddly kitties!
