​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.

Mia did a great job; she responded quickly and sent daily updates, which included what tasks for the cats she did that day, their behavior and several photos. My husband and I never felt so comfortable leaving our cats before but we were confident they were being well taken care of.

Jessica is a cat mama to two very spoiled Devon Rex babies called Molly & Peach.  In fact, Jessica has been surrounded by cats since she was a little girl.  Her grandmother was a 'crazy cat lady' who raised Siamese, Sphinx, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex and American Short-hairs.  If her husband would allow it, Jess would have several more cats but unfortunately city life has limited her to only two. 

An avid marathon runner, Jess completed her 15th marathon last fall and can usually be found clocking miles up the Hudson River.  She is a supporter and fundraiser for Tusk Trust, a charity that initiates and funds wildlife conservancy, community development and education projects in Africa.  Over the last three years, she has helped to raise over 50K for Tusk and ran the Safaricom Marathon as their US Ambassador in 2018.  Jess is also a co-founder of 41Wildcard, an online boutique of curated home & jewelry collections inspired by travel.  When not searching the globe for local artisans to partner with, she lives in Tribeca with her husband and two kitty babies.  

Jessica is a kind and caring person who is also an experienced cat sitter. She will come to your home to care for your cat while you are away. Jessica will customize a care plan for your cat & provide daily updates with photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your cat is well cared for.

I love cats and I would love to kitty sit your cat. I grew up around many animals, a german shepherd, two cats, and geckos. I have a deep understanding of all animal’s needs. I've watched my sister’s cat growing since she was a kitten and now she's a big beautiful orange cat with a loving and cuddly personality who loves to show off. All cats have different personalities and need to be catered to differently. It's important to gain a cat's trust and let them come to you. 

​I grew up here in the city for most of my life, and all my friends have cats that I play with. I’m currently an art student. I love painting and sculpting. I also work at an art supply store.

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 look forward to meeting your pets!

Growing up, I’ve always had a cat in the family. Rosie, Luna, Goby, Louie, Otis, Marco, and Frida. Rosie and Luna were sibling kittens with very different personalities. Rosie liked to hide around the house and meow when she wanted to be found. Luna was a small ball of fluff, always curled and purring on someone’s lap. We adopted Goby a couple years later - the calmest cat I’ve ever met. He traveled with us from California to North Carolina. Goby loved to hunt in our new backyard. Louie, a quiet yet fierce black cat with vibrant green eyes and white paws, joined the family when we found him basking in the sunlight on our front porch, day after day. An outdoor cat from the start, we let him come and go as he pleased. Otis was a scruffy orange cat who loved adventure, being a goofball, and cuddling. Marco and Frida are still alive and well, living in my mother’s home back in North Carolina. 

I am a visual artist and musician, creating projects that utilize my technical abilities with drawing and painting, composing, recording, and producing music. My goal is to gain in-state residency after a year, and attend a CUNY school for a music technology degree for free tuition. 

My schedule is very flexible, and I am so excited to be your caregiver!

​​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.

​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!

​When I was four, a stray cat (which my brother was secretly feeding) ran into my house and birthed three kittens. We weren’t a pet family at that time and my parents only had childhood experiences of raising dogs. 

We became pet/cat people overnight. 

Of that litter, one survived for 20 beautiful years. Chichi and I grew up together. Because of her, I’ve always been able to connect with cats — even ‘tough’ cats or strays. She wasn’t the only cat I raised; we came to own two other cats in her lifetime. The three cats couldn’t be more different, and yet, my relationship with each was special. Eventually, they all passed and I wasn’t sure I’d jump back into owning a cat because I was afraid I’d never find cats as great. I was so wrong.

Four years ago I adopted a 6 y.o. tuxedo cat with arthritis. He came from a hoarder home and was extremely skittish with people. I have never had to work so hard to ‘normalize’ a cat, but Figgy and I have made strides. Due to his arthritis, Fig is on a strict diet and is medicated daily. I intimately understand the importance of adhering to diets/medication routines because his comfort depends on it.  ​

I’m very good at meeting cats where they are. Figaro has taught me that some cats really operate at their own pace and can’t always be bribed. I’m comfortable with keeping my distance from a cat who wants that and also giving a kitty all of the loving it demands of me. I work as a graphic designer in FiDi and live in Harlem. Happy to visit with any kitties along the 2/3 line :)

3 years ago, on a rainy August evening in Miami, as I was walking up to my apartment, I suddenly encountered the love of my life. Off to the side of the path, there was a little gray and brown striped cat, wet and shivering. I stopped right where I stood, heart in my throat, and she ran right up to me. She weaved between my legs a bit before plopping herself right on my sneakered feet. I squealed (as quietly as I could) with delight: just 2 nights before, I had proclaimed to my roommate that we would be getting a cat. We had already began to rearrange our furniture, effectively baby- (or kitty-)proofing the space; we bought oodles of wet food, a comfy bed, a carrier, and tons of toys. We had no idea that 2 days later, we would be welcoming this small furry ball of energy, who came to be called Tootsie, into our home. I am so glad she did! 

My name is Gari and I am a woman of many talents. I am originally from NYC. I'm a Prep for Prep, Sacred Heart ('12), Wesleyan ('16), and AmeriCorps/City Year ('17, '18) alumna. I've lived in Miami (and briefly in Maryland) for the past 2 years. I came back to the Big Apple at the end of 2018 (for those keeping track: since moving back to NYC, Tootsie is currently living with my cousin and I visit her every other weekend). In addition to loving up on and caring for cats, a large portion of my time goes towards building my healing & coaching business, where I work to create spaces for folx to explore & better understand themselves, their feelings, and their purpose. When I'm not doing that, you can catch me cleaning/KonMari-ing people's homes, reading something about consciousness, drawing in my notebook, or working on any one of my numerous passion projects!

I come from a cat lover family: my great-grand parents, my grand-parents, my parents had cats. For as far as I can remember, I have heard stories about and lived with cats.  I feel totally comfortable with them. They are beautiful, intelligent and loving animals, I love and respect them deeply: I like the fact that they are close to their true nature. By nature I am a calm and sensitive person and adjust well to the cats' personalities which are so different from one another. A part-time teacher, I am at home a lot, translating or making craft, so I am able to spend time, play and have quality time with the cats, or let them be. Since my last cat Rose died, I don't live with a cat, and I miss the companionship. My apartment is a cosy and cats friendly one bedroom so no worries about scratching furniture or rugs!

Hi from Katyarina and Hailey! We both genuinely have a love for animals of all kinds, and both grew up in homes filled with them. We both have always had cats of our own, and we've missed having them around since we moved to the city, so we are more than excited to share our home with your kitties while you're away and have lots of love to give! We are very familiar with the range of attention that cats want and/or need and recognize that every cat is wildly different, each with an amazingly unique personality from the next, and that is what makes them so special, and we are more than willing to accommodate to their needs! 

We are both 20-year-old students at the Fashion Institute of Technology, I study Business Management and Hailey studies Advertising/Marketing, and Communications. We currently share a cozy apartment in the Gramercy Park / East Village area of Manhattan, with lots of natural sunlight pouring in for your kitty's daytime naps! We both work part-time jobs in fashion and retail so we are home more often than not and would have plenty of time to share with your felines!:) We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 

If you are looking for a loving temporary home for your kitty and are in Murray Hill or Gramercy or the surrounding area we recommend you connect with Katyarina and Hailey.  Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

I have loved animals my whole life and have a special fondness for cats. As a little girl, I fondly remember my sister’s cats Pinky [short for Pinkerton G Fobs] and Pegasus  Pinky had a litter of kittens under my sister’s bed as I watched with fascination. I shall never forget that amazing experience. In my adult years, I have had 2 wonderful cats: a Silver Tabby, named Isis who was with me for 20 years and an Abyssinian, named Ra for 17 years. I’ve been without cats in my home for quite a while now and miss their endearing company. I took care of a wonderful cat, named Mr. Pinkerton for one of Kitty In NY’s clients. It was such a pleasure. You can see a photo of “his Royal Highness”, Mr. Pinkerton, in the photo below. What a coincidence that he happened to have the same name as my sister’s cat! I’m now in a position again where I have the time to open my home to take special care of new, mysterious, feline guests! 

I am a former professional dancer and currently work as a New York State licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist. I work within about 25 minutes walking distance from my home and have been living here for 31 years. So, I’m always close by when taking tender loving care of kitties. 

Hi! My name is Amy and I have been a cat sitter over the past five years. I am a freelance designer who lives in Chelsea. My love for cats began in childhood growing up on a nonworking farm in upstate New York. The one thing we did seem to raise was a huge colony of feral cats! I just loved every single one of them! 

You can rest assured that I will treat your pet with care and love and attention as of they were my own. I will make sure they are happy and healthy in your absence and will send you a daily email with gorgeous photos and video updates. As a member of the Kitty in NY team, I am fully insured and bonded. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

Hi from Jesse and Camille!  We live in Prospect Heights in a two bedroom that gets lots of sunlight and has a long hallway that cats love to run through.  We have fostered multiple cats over the last five years and love having an animal companion in the house with us.  Our most recent was Izzy, a beautiful blue korat, who found a permanent home with friends of ours.

Jesse works in film marketing and Camille is a magazine editor.  We both work from home on most days, so we are lucky to spend lots of time with any feline visitors we are hosting. We're happy to have you come over in advance to get a feel for us and our place, and to see how your cat takes to it!

When I first took care of a cat by myself in high school I can admit I had no idea what was going on beyond what my mom, a lifelong catlover, told me. I had been tasked with taking care of a diabetic cat which meant every day I had to catch, hold, and inject a shot of insulin into the upper spine region of the cat I was taking care of. Fortunately I was able to manage through the fear and gain valuable experience in how to care and understand animals. That was towards the end of high school - I am now a recent post-grad and in my four years in college, three of those years were spent living with all kinds of animals including six different cats and four different dogs. I'm happy to say one of those cats I helped raise from adoption as a little kitten to the nearly one year old cat that it is now. When me and my girlfriend first saw Prince he was half the size of my palm in a bathtub with his brother waiting to be adopted. He spent most of his first week with us hiding in nooks and crannies but we eventually got him to come out of his shell and become comfortable with his surroundings. In the time I've spent with him I've learned a lot of about how to take care of cats as well as how to develop a loving relationship with a cat.

About me: I recently graduated from Binghamton University with a degree in Business Administration and am now working a position that allows me to do remote work 2 days out of the work week. Needless to say I spend these remote days in the comfort of my home and I'd love a cat to keep me company. While I was in college I loved traveling - I spent time in Hong Kong, China, and Seoul to study abroad and explore the city. After work I like to spend an hour or two working out or swimming at my local gym.
