Barbara provides in-home boarding in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

10/8/2018

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.

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.

Jonathan provides in-home boarding in Astoria, Queens

10/1/2018

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!

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.

Clinton provides in home boarding services in Astoria, Queens

9/24/2018

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!

Growing up my family always acted as a foster family for cats and dogs. I remember countless times as a kid when my mom would pack me and my little sister into her car and go pick up an entire litter of abandoned kittens to puppies. It was always so exciting to get the new animals, clean them up and give them nicknames while we nursed then back to health so they would be able to find their forever homes. Even during college I would always take in an animal or two over the summers from overcrowded shelters to make sure they could eventually find a home. After moving to the city I’ve missed having a part time furry friend, however, finding KittyInNY has given me the perfect opportunity to give a furry friend the love, attention and care they need while their owners are away.

A little about me - I am a part time waiter in Midtown and I perform standup comedy a few times a week around the city. Originally I come from Florida but now I live in Astoria, Queens in my studio apartment. Most of my time is spent writing at home and catching up with the Real Housewives of…well, every city. A cat would be the perfect companion to have while hanging around the apartment and working on new material for the next show!

If you are looking for in home boarding services in or around Astoria, Queens Clinton could be the perfect choice for you. Please contact us and send more details and we will get back to you as soon as possible to help you connect with the best caregiver who will suit your needs.

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.

My name is Lori and I am a huge cat lover! I currently am in my second year of law school and spend the majority of my time home reviewing in my bedroom. I had cats my whole life growing up and would love to get one of my own in the future. I grew up with a black cat, Lizzie, and a calico, Casey.

I live in a small 3 bedroom apartment on E. 93rd Street. My apartment is very simple, well kept, and clean. Your cat will definitely feel at home in this quiet environment while I keep her/him company until you return. I know that I would love the company while I read as well.

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.

Jessica misses having a cat of her own. Until then, she's happy to welcome your furry friend and take care of her/him until you return. Her sun filled three bedroom apartment offers plenty of space to lounge and enjoy for your cat/s.

I bring a lot of experience to the position of cat-sitter, having lived and/or worked with cats practically my entire life. I grew up on a farm upstate, where we always had multiple cats running around, though we eventually settled down to a respectable 3, and I loved every one of them! My first job when I moved to the city in 2009 was working at an animal hospital, where we also adopted cats out. The cats were allowed the run of the place, and they all had very distinct personalities. I have dealt with finicky, stand-offish cats, attack-kitties, and scaredy-cats, as well as all levels of loving, sweet, and gentle cats. I naturally adopted one of the cats while I was working there, Tubs, and enjoyed his unending love of snuggles for the past 9 years, until he passed away in the spring. If your cat is struggling with any health issues, my experience also includes giving medication, such as pilling and shots.
I live in a light-filled 3-bedroom apartment with two wonderful female roommates in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I’m not ready to move on to adopting a new cat of my own, but I love having one or more cats around. I’m happy to keep you updated on how your cat(s) are doing, with regular pictures and texts and/or calls, and I will be happy to give your kitty all the love and/or space they need while you are away!

If you're looking for a loving temporary home for your cat/s and live in Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant or Prospect Heights in Brooklyn we recommend you visit and meet Jessica. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Denise provides in-home boarding services in Jackson Heights, Queens

8/21/2018

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

Hi, my name is Denise. Growing up all my life in NYC, animals have always been a constant. My house was always filled with, cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and kitties who seem to make a home in our backyard. One of which gave birth to a litter I cared for as well. My very first cat was an orange tabby who was best friend, and we grew up together until I finished college. Since having her I realized how amazing cats can be, she taught me unconditional love and I’ve since passed that along to some new furry friends of my own. I have since rescued all of my cats from the street starting with my big boy Mellow, who passed from cancer, he was my dogcat and loved to play fetch. To my last two babies Cali and Pepper who lived until 15 and 16 years of age, and passed this summer. Not having them around has left a huge void in my life and my heart. I know at this moment I can’t bear to start my journey again with a new friend, but being a cat boarder helps ease that void a bit, and I can give comfort, security and love to your kitties while you’re away and ease any of your concerns

I’ve had three cats at one time and have also cared for kittens and sat for friends and family. I’m capable at giving pill or liquid medication and having worked with many animals throughout my life, I learned early on patience is key. Professionally I work as a production coordinator for Hair Club, which keeps me organized, responsible and constantly having to communicate through emails all day long. So, keeping up to date with emails, pictures, and texts of your pet will come naturally to me and you’ll never have to wonder how they are doing. I happily invite you to leave your kitty with me and enjoy your time away knowing they are being loved and well taken care of by a fellow cat lover.

If you need a temporary home for your cat in Queens, Denise will be glad to help you take care of your cat/s while you're away. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Hi, my name is Ashey! I'm a great cat boarder because I've grown up with two cats and recently took care of a litter of 5 kittens when I lived in New Jersey!

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 lived in NYC for 6 years--four of those spent with a beautiful black cat named Frida, and two were spent with two additional cats named Zorro and Mochi. Through living with these delightful fur balls, I gained a lot of experience in administering meds (one was diabetic) and learning the subtle purrs of contented kitties. Since my roommate moved away, I'm without a cat of my own, so I'm delighted to open my home to kitties that need a homey place to lodge for a while.
I'm an actor and freelancer in the city, with a passion for art and animals. When not in rehearsals, I often work from home, so can be available for plenty of quality time with your cat.

Bright, friendly, and cheerful, Angie is a very experienced cat lover. She lives in a small comfortable 2 bedroom apartment on W. 172nd street and is accustomed to having a cat in the apartment. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s. We will help you connect with the best caregiver.

Barry lives on his own in a studio located at 666 West End Ave (92nd St) in Manhattan. He loves animals and enjoys taking care of cats.

I'm a writer and editor who lives in a studio on the Upper West Side (90s/West End Ave.). I hail from Massachusetts but have lived in New York City for 30 years. I've boarded cats for several years now, and if you live within a radius of a few blocks and would rather have me visit your apartment to attend to your cat (I did that once), that's fine. I've taken care of several cats over the past few years (I wish I had a photo of Dexter!), and the cat you see accompanying my photo is one of my favorites, Eh-Gee (Korean name/Korean owners). Look at the face!

"Hi! My name is Katelyn and I am a graduate of Kean University, now residing in Hamilton Heights Manhattan! I am a server in Times Square, with a very flexible schedule allowing me to devote plenty of time to your fur baby. I was 4 years old when I got my first pet, and have loved and cared for animals ever since.

Leaving a member of your family can be scary, but your pet will be loved and taken care of as if you never left! "

I had many dogs growing up but two wonderful cats who were so soft playful and cuddly that I couldn’t resist them. Cleo I adopted from a neighbors litter of kittens. She showered me with affection and shared my bed. Chloe was a neighborhood stray who adopted me. I happily took her into my home. They loved each other and I loved them.

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 all - I LOVE KITTIES!

My name is Ann, I’m originally from Nebraska. And for what it’s worth, it is true we midwestern-folk do have a strong work ethic! I currently reside sole in a large apartment in Woodside, New York, where I have a home office. My handsome tuxedo kitty Checkers passed in 2012, and since then I haven’t had pets of my own. Instead to fulfill my “furry family fix” I care for friends/clients pets! He was quite healthy despite being diabetic, I administered 2 insulin injections daily.

Jared and I continue to marvel at how much our standoffish cat adores Ann. That fact alone speaks to her wonderful energy, deep compassionate, and outstanding skills.

I could tell Ann was very experienced with cats and she took the time to write down detailed notes on the initial visit, so I knew she was very committed as well. I trusted her to look after my kitties and she did a great job :)

Anne - survey

She did a great job keeping me updated with photos and information. Esti seemed very happy when I returned and Ann was really great and cleaned the litter box area before she left.

Ann is a true professional AND deeply loves cats. April took to her immediately and even played with Ann (unheard of!). Ann provided cheerful, charming updates. Our home was well cared for, too. We are so very pleased! Our trip was better because we knew April had a new friend in Ann.

Ann was very detail oriented, and you can just tell that she truly loves and cares about kitties.

The first time I met Ann, I knew right away that she is the right person and I trust her would take a good care of my cat. And she did! She knew what she was doing and was very flexible on some detailed instruction. From the pictures she sent to me it seemed my cat was relaxed in the new environment and enjoyed her time of staying.

Great people we have met! - Etha

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 Etha and I've been working with Kitty in New York for 5 years. I am 32 years old and I live in Gramercy Park in Manhattan. I enjoy this company a lot; it allows me to have a pet when it's convenient and the added companionship. I am a teacher, a babysitter and a nanny. I grew up in South Carolina with cats all my life. they are my favorite animal to be around and to have. I like to think that they are my spirit animal LOL!! Having cats stay in my home, I feel like I'm being a blessing to them because they don't have to be in a kennel or unloved while their owners are away. I hope to keep doing this job until I leave New York!

Etha has hosted many cats over the years. She has a lot of regulars. If you live near Gramercy Park Etha can provide a temporary home for your cat until you return. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

"I recently semi-retired young, working now only 1 day a week, and have plenty of free time on my hands. I live in a spacious, luxury, 2 bedroom high rise apartment on the border of Murray Hill/Gramercy (East 24th St.) Much of my days are spent at home on-line pursing a hobby of dabbling in antiques and collectables.

Growing up I always had and loved cats and now is the purrfect time to receive cats to make my days much brighter. My first cat Samantha (a Persian) was named after the TV show Bewitched. Sam was a kitten when we first got her, and I delighted in watching her grow. And I also witnessed her giving birth to a litter. Our family kept one kitten and the process began again. Two generations of cats for over 25 years. Watching them develop and taking care of them was a rewarding joy."

If you live in the Gramercy area Andy would enjoy taking care of your cat/s until you return. Please contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need. We'll connect with the best caregiver that suits your needs. We look forward to hearing from you, we'll be glad to help you.

I have had pets of all sorts for all of my life and, always, I have had cats. I understand cats; they seem to match my nature. I resonate with their independence and understand and respect their signals. For the last five years, for the first time in my life, I have not had a cat of my own. I have, however, had plenty of cats in my life, as I have been cat/house sitting my way around the world. This has given me the opportunity to not only have some amazing travel experiences but also to get to know many different cats of various types and personalities. I especially remember Potu, a big white, muscular male who loved to sleep purring on my chest all night with his paw sweetly inserted in my cupped hand. Then there was Glimpsey, a beautiful Egyptian Maus. He was full of mischief and very personable until it was time for his breathing treatment, (He was asthmatic). Then he would hide in places that were very hard to find and required much patience and coaxing. I wish I had know then about the app with the sounds of different cats meowing. Now, I would just play those sounds and I bet he's be out in no time. Then, of course, there was Mr Gibbs, a British Shorthair. With his big head, and thick coat of hair, he would sit and stare at me with those big round, dark Shorthair eyes.....what a very particular, peculiar and endearing creature he was. It was like spending time with the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

I am a retired psychotherapist. I enjoy caring for people and animal. I find it fills out my heart and brings me joy. Both during my many years as a cat mama and my past five as a cat/house-sitter I have honed my skills in caring for ailing cats. I have administered breathing treatments, given shots and medications, and dressed wounds among other things. Additionally, I have dealt with the whole gamut of personalities from the highly anxious to the very needy and everything in between. I am very aware that it may not be only the cat that is feeling a bit anxious about the separation of pet and owner. I always send pictures and little updates so the owners can rest assured that their beloved pet(s) are well cared for.

I love cats and miss having cat energy in my life and I look forward to taking care of yours. I have a whole wall of windows with a nice wide sill, just the right size for a cat to stretch out and enjoy the warm afternoon sun. My space is clutter free and there are many soft snuggly kitty spots to be discovered. If a visiting cat wants to snuggle in a chair with me or curl up in my bed for the night I am more than happy to share. Now that I am retired I fill my life with the things I love: dance, photography, writing, reading and cats.

If you live in Chelsea, Linda is the perfect caregiver for your kitties! She can welcome your cat in her home, where he/she will be the only pet! In-home boarding is recommended for mid/long term services or cats who love human company. Contact us and send more details about the service you need.

Linda took good care of my cat. She was very friendly, caring and gentle. When I went to pick up my cat after two weeks of vacation, I could tell that she had developed a bond with Linda. I'll definitely request Linda the next time I go out of town.

Linda was very kind and warm. She kept me updated on how Simba was doing and enjoyed his company very much. She took wonderful photos and made sure he got all his medications on time. Hope she will be available to take care of him again in the near future.
