Rosa provides in-home boarding services in Hells Kitchen, NYC

4/28/2019

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.

My first New York experience of sitting was when I baby sat a friend's cat, named Mamie Jean. He traveled a lot for work. This was in the late 1980's. She was a sweet cat.

I have since had three cats of my own in New York. My first kitty started out as a boarder. The person who was to adopt her after a month, could no longer do so. Cinnamon was a scared kitty and over the years I learned how to understand her "particular ways" and just love her, play with her (and know when to leave her alone!) I watched her grow comfortable and happy. I had my baby Cinnamon for eight wonderful years.

My two boys, Sammi and Eli were rescues as well. I received them when they were three months old. They were so happy being in each other's company and they played a lot! One of their favorite games in the beginning was "let's see how many times we can hit Mommy in the head to wake her up so she can play with US!"

I have had thirteen wonderful years with Eli and 17 years with Sammi. I believe that this new chapter in my "feline life experience" will manifest more adventures with the most interesting of furry ones, cats.

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!

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 :)

Erika was wonderful with my cat. She sent pictures and videos and it took her no time to make friends with Rosie who can be fairly standoffish. I hope she will be available next time I need a cat caretaker.

Gari provides in cat sitting services in downtown Brooklyn, NYC

4/4/2019

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!

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!

If you're looking for a loving care for your cat/s and live in Downtown Brooklyn, Gari will visit your cats and send regular updates. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Gari has a great spirit and chill demeanor that is very comforting. We were in great hands. She went above and beyond when our upstairs neighbors flooded their apartment and it came down through our kitchen ceiling. She alerted us immediately and in addition to comforting the cat and moving her food away from the water she helped us clean up the mess. Very much appreciated her doing this. The apartment is clean the cat is very happy. Thanks Gari!

Sophie provides in-home boarding services in Harlem, 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!

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!

If you're located close to Harlem, Sophie will provide a perfect temporary 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.

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 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.

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 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 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!

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, I am Svetlana. I am living with my husband Sergei in a 1-bedroom apartment in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. We are both work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your cats. We are both cat lovers. I grew up in a countryside in a house with multiple cats, dogs, and farm animals like cows, chickens, ducks and enjoyed to take care of them. My greatest memory of childhood when early in the morning all neighbor cats were coming to my house for a fresh milk from our cow. It was funny because with time more and more cats joined the party. It was a happy time and really miss it.

A little bit of myself. Because of my passion for animals I went to college to study Veterinary medicine and became Veterinarian in 1997. After graduation I worked in a vet clinic for four years and gain professional skills. In 2001 I immigrated to the United States and become a registered nurse and worked in hospital for a few years. At this time I work from home and will be happy to give comfort, security and love to your cats while you’re away.

I had a wonderful experience with cat sitter/boarder, Svetlana. She was attentive and flexible. I had to find a cat sitter at the very last moment a day before traveling overseas for vacation which is a nerve wracking and she was very accommodating and understanding. What attracted me to her services, was her veterinarian background. Being a new user of these types of services, I was a bit apprehensive about how my cat would be treated but when I was able to witness first hand how Svetlana interacted with my kitty, all those apprehensions faded away. When I picked my kitty up, he seemed more relaxed and friendly than how he normally is. I would gladly recommend her services and will be using her in the future should I need it again! Thank you Svetlana for a wonderful two weeks! Fetty says thanks too!

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.

We love having cats and kittens in our home. We especially enjoy spending time with new cats, learning their personalities and discovering how they are happiest playing, socializing, and relaxing. One or the other of us is often home during the day so your kitties will have lots of attention. We’re also happy taking cat photos and sending updates as often as you like. Our apartment is a safe and cozy cat hangout with sofas, soft chairs, bed and rugs for our cat companions. Our windows have screens and wide windowsills for our cat guests who like a room with a view.

We are both long-time cat owners and cat lovers (Bill for his whole life and Nancy for the past 20 years). Our two most recent cats (whom we raised from kittens) died peacefully after long healthy happy lives. Since their passing we have become ASPCA-certified foster parents and have volunteered to foster several cats. Bill is an artist and consultant who works primarily from home, and Nancy is a teacher with a rather flexible schedule. We’re here to give your cats care and attention. When your kitties are our guests, they are our top concern!

If you live on the Upper East side and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Bill. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Magdalena provides cat boarding services in the East Village, NY

12/12/2018

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 childhood was very colorful in that I grew up in a private home with a large
backyard in the Bronx. My mother, trying to recapture her own childhood in Cuba
and Puerto Rico, had hens and roosters living in our backyard, as well as a
monkey and a talking bird in cages in our living room. She eventually sold the
monkey due to much mischief--like always trying to look up my dress (ha ha).
In adulthood, I worked as a certified dog groomer at pet-related businesses for 2
years (k-9 styles and Doggie Do). This led to my running a small pet grooming
business from my East Village apt. I eventually began boarding dogs, and
sometimes cats. I did this for around 7 years while getting a university degree.
Overall, I've had long-term as well as intermittent years of experience with
animals. The passing of my last set of pets-- 3 cats and a German Shepherd--
around 8 years ago saddened me so much that I decided not to have pets for
awhile. But now I'm ready to open my heart and home again to these lovely
creatures, albeit as visiting guests and temporary companions this time around.

Currently, I teach 25 hours a week at a private school in Manhattan and
transcribe from home. I have also been trying to write a book so, as you can see,
I do spend plenty of time at home. I will be available during the winter and spring
holidays of 2018/19, and any other time in between the holiday seasons. My
apartment is a small one-bedroom and it is minimally furnished-- just the way I
like it. It is safe for cats to play, sleep, and just chill out. I am an affectionate person by nature and the pet(s) I host will be the object of my touch, unless your
cat, whose boundaries I will completely respect, is more standoffish.

If you live in the East Village or the surrounding area, Magdalena will be delighted to look after your cat and send regular kitty updates. 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.

Phil provides in-home boarding services in Union Square, NYC

12/9/2018

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 had my first kittie in college and my second while living in San Francisco. Returning to New York, I lived for years in a building where I could not have any pets. So when I moved to my current location, in Manhattan's East Village, I made up for lost time. That was way, way back in 1992. I contacted an animal rescue agency named BeingKind. (That was the precursor to KittyKind in Petco.) Soon I took in a family of six abandoned cats from BeingKind. I included an old scratched photo, taken before the days of cell phones and similar devices. The momma and poppa cats were about a year and a half old. Teenagers in Love I called them. The four kittens were six weeks old and just learning to walk. They were about the size of my hand (not counting the tails). I eventually adopted out two kitties and kept four felines to myself.

They all lived exceedingly long lives, so I must have been doing something right. The momma cat lived to 18 years of age, the poppa and one daughter both lived to 19, and the final daughter lived very close to 21 (about 20 years and 9 months).

After the family went to Kittie Heaven, I took a break from being a caretaker. That ended in about nine months. One night I went dancing at Barefoot Boogie (highly recommended) and met someone who worked for Kitty in New York. That marked the beginning of the next phase of my love for felines, as I soon became an Official Kitty Caregiver.

I can now offer lots of love, a spacious one bedroom apartment, and decades of experience for my feline friends. I am able to give injections, pills, subcutaneous fluids, and blood glucose monitoring for cats with medical needs.

I am now partly retired but work about 20 hours a week as a psychotherapist. This allows me the luxury to spend lots of time with my four-legged friends. As you might guess, I love to write so I enjoy sending frequent emails or texts plus loads of photos to cat owners. This allows the owners to enjoy their vacations or business trips, knowing that their kitties are happy and doing well.

Jeanne G provides in-home boarding services in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

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!

Writer and curator Jeanne G was born in Lausanne, Switzerland and lives in New York. In 2014, Jeanne G founded 186f Kepler, an art space without walls. She has organized numerous international exhibitions and serves as a columnist for May Revue (Paris). Her novel, Vzszhhzz, was published in 2018 by Semiotext(e)/Native Agents - The MIT Press. She’s part of the band Solar Lice.

"I’m writing to highly recommend Jeanne G as a cat caregiver. She’s been an amazing sitter and boarder for our 15 year old male cat, Stinky. We met Jeanne early this year through friends of friends after finding out our prior sitter was no longer available. We were planning for a month long trip to visit Taketo’s family in Japan and needed someone that could manage Stinky’s strict raw food diet. After meeting her and going over the details of his somewhat involved meal preparation, we were impressed with her attention to detail and the level of interest she showed for all aspects of his care and personality. We were able to take our trip with no worry about Stinky’s well-being and received regular updates from Jeanne on how he was doing. He was well cared for while staying at her home, settling quickly into a happy routine with no meal-related or other issues. I was a little worried that he would show some aggressive behavior that he had in the past, and had warned her about it, but was ecstatic to hear that he not only behaved but was letting her brush him regularly, something he hadn’t tolerated before"

I'm Sonia and I am a part time housekeeper in Manhattan, because of my job every day I visit different customers with cats and dogs and I bring my special cleaning products to ensure they are safe. Did you know some cleaning products are potentially dangerous for cats and poisoning by just inhalation!

I grow up on a farm taking care of cows, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats and more... so I know how to treat these specials creatures. They need a lot of love!

An interesting fact about me is that I'm left handed and I support children in central America with 10% of my income. I speak many languages - Danish, Spanish, Italian and of course English and will be delighted to look after your kitty!

If you're located close to Morrison Ave, Bronx Sonia will provide a perfect temporary 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.

Sonia was very accommodating of my schedule for drop off and pick up she and very sweet throughout everything. She loved and took great care of Slippers (my cat) and sent regular updates. I’m so grateful Slippers had a cozy loving place to stay and a wonderful caretaker.

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.

Since childhood, I have been a kitty lover. I grew up in the country, and my family home was filled with cats. We raised mommy cats and litters and took in strays. I remember watching one of our kitties–Krispy Cat–give birth in our linen closet. I fell in love with the runt of the litter, Parsley, and carried that tiny kitten around so much my mom worried it would never learn to walk.

After college, when I got a home of my own, kitties followed suit. I took in two black kitties, one boy and one girl, and together we shared a home for 14 years. In time, they both seemed to grow tired of city life and migrated to my mom's home in the country, where they morphed into indoor/outdoor cats. They both lived happy, long lives, with my boy cat making it to 19 and a half years of age.

My career is as a home organization coach and lifestyle expert. I live in a Chelsea studio and spend much of my time at home blogging, marketing and supporting my clients. I’m looking forward to having your kitty in my home. There are lots of places to nap and hide, ample space to run and play. And I may have the world's best kitty brush. I've never met a cat who didn't absolutely love it. I look forward to meeting you!

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

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 been surrounded by cats since my earliest memories. My family had a couple of cats while I was growing up. I took a special liking to my cat Chico and we became best friends when I was young. He grew up with me and when we lost him it was devastating to our family. Since then, I haven't owned a cat but my sister recently brought one into the family again, as well as my grandmother and I get such a thrill out of being a kitty uncle. I get to spoil them, play, and give them all the love in the world.

I am a dancer living in NYC, I have a lust for life and a will to succeed. I just recently graduated from Broadway Dance Center Professional Program and I am signed to Clear Talent Group as a performer. I have a dream to perform on stages in France, Spain, Berlin, Canada, Bali, and I will never stop persisting for my goals. This life is really quite short and I want to do as much good with my time here that I possibly can.

If you live in Hamilton Heights and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Ric. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Barbara provides in-home boarding in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

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.

Growing up with dogs during my time in Mexico always made me curious to think how it was to have a cat. Ever since I moved to NY, I was set on the idea that I'd have a cat of my own. It had been years since I wanted one, so once I owned a cat it made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. It wasn't until I found out that my poor, old cat was terribly sick. I had to put him down. Although I didn't own him for as much as I though I would (two years), I still think he taught me so much about what it is to own a cat, and how much care and importance I was willing to give. I certainly loved having him as company, can't say I don't miss him at times. I am happy to say though, that I was there for him till the very end. I am ready to give that same amount of care and importance to a cat while he is not with his own parents.

A bit about me -
I am a freelance writer who likes focusing on subjects such as art and fashion. I am also an aspiring actress who wants to wants to work more around Film and TV. I am originally from Mexico, but live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I have been living in the city for around three years now, every year loving it more and more. I am so excited to be able to share my space where I write and prepare for auditions with a special companion such as a cat. Can't wait to tell him/her some of my interesting stories.

If you're looking for a loving temporary home for your cat/s and live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn we recommend you visit and meet Barbara. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

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, cat parents! I grew up cherishing and caring for two cats, a fluffmeister named Kitty and a wiry little chap named Mouse. These whiskered angels opened my eyes to the many rewards that come with caring for pets, and to just how special and joyful kitty companionship can be when its built on love, attention, gentleness, and patience. (One of my favorite rewards: getting to witness endlessly adorable cat antics). Before joining Kitty In NY, I spent many years providing pet care in several capacities, including as a dog walker and as the go-to cat sitter for friends and acquaintances, happily taking their cats into my home whenever they had to leave town.

A bit more about me: I am a writer and part-time web developer living alone in a two-bedroom apartment. My apartment doubles as my office, so I'm just about always home. I love to be creative -- I'm currently exploring robotics as a hobby -- but mostly I'm just a big movie/TV nerd who likes to watch Bojack Horseman and GLOW on Netflix. If your cat stays with me, please don't hesitate to let me know about any needs or special requests. It would be my pleasure to do anything to make my new friend feel right at home, and to provide you with updates and photos as frequently and as detailed as you'd like.

If you live in the Astoria, Jonathan can provide the perfect temporary home until you return. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll get back to you as soon as possible and help you find the best solution for your cat.

Bryan provides in-home boarding services in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

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, my name is Bryan and I'm pro-choice, I appreciate Cat people and Dog people alike! I've had many dogs and cats growing up in Westchester so I've always had an interest in caring for animals. I had also worked at a doggy daycare in Brooklyn Heights and loved the interaction between each dog and their owner, but I went home to my (2) Tabby cats at the end of each day.

I currently work for myself as a Marketing Consultant which often means popping into a clients office for a meeting, working in a shared space, or getting things done in the comfort of my Greenpoint apartment. I currently have no pets, I'm centrally located to drive/train from other parts of the city, and I welcome your fuzzy roommate to stay in good company while you're away. Please let me know of any specific requests and I'll be happy to figure something out for you!
