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.

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.

Phil was very responsive to any emails I sent him and was extremely attentive with his updates. He sent photos regularly along with great stories of how the kitties were doing. I got a sense that he truly cares for felines. Just after the first few interactions with him, I was immediately at ease, as I knew my fur babies were in caring hands.

Phil was so thorough with his emails detailing the status of our kitties while we were away. He’d send cute photos with his emails too. He also made sure he had all of the feeding times exactly correct. He was very pleasant and kind to work with and clearly loved taking care of our boys. I would definitely recommend him to others! We would use him again too.

Hi, we're Ksenia & Mario. We both love animals and are so excited to share our home with your kitties while you're away! We both had animals growing up and have missed having them so much while moving around NYC. We finally have a beautiful open space in Greenpoint that's perfect for furry friends.

While there I took care of lots of cats and dogs, I learned how to groom and administer medications, as well as how to rehabilitate animals after surgery.

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!

Volunteering in a cat rescue you come into contact with so many different cat personalities from the lovable cuddler to the skittish recluse. Being a care giver for them means having to be adaptive and understanding of their needs.

As a kid I remember rescuing one of our first pregnant cats and helping with the care of her litter of kittens. Most of the kittens were excited to play and loved people with that wide eyed bliss a kitten has. But there was one kitten, Tiger, who was a bit more nervous around people than the rest and wouldn't really allow anyone to hold him. So I thought to myself, these kittens are pretty tiny so I'd imagine we look like giants to them (and who wouldn't be a little terrified of a giant hahah). So I decided to get down on their level and just sat on the floor with the kittens for a while. Not really making any sudden movements, but just showing myself to be a non-threatening presence. Of course most of the other kittens immediately sprang into action climbing all over me like a human shaped kitten playground. But Tiger was still hesitant, standing off to the side. I just continued to sit there allowing Tiger to watch all his sibling play around and having fun without me harming them or being an imposing presence. Eventually he witnessed enough to trust me came to join in on his brothers' and sisters' fun. After that he even allowed me to start petting and hold him! This experience allowed me to learn very early on that all cats require a different approach.

About me:
I recently graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a bachelors in Business Administration and a concentration in marketing. Before graduating I interned at Universal Music Group, the largest record label in the world. After being rehired full time in my last semester I was immediately on a bus to New York after my last final to start work the next day. That was almost a 2 years ago now and I've been loving the city ever since. I'm a foodie at heart, so nothing beats exploring the city to discover new hidden restaurant gems. I also love the incredible night life where there is always something to do, though I'm an introvert at heart so I make sure the party never follows me home. I'm a lover of all animals so I look forward to being able to help all of you wonderful cat owners out with a loving home for your cats to stay in when need be!

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 a passionate reader and studious of big cats. As one of my top hobbies, I constantly educate myself on tigers, cheetahs, lions, jaguars, and my favorite ones: leopards. However, domestic cats were the reason I initiated this interest since I had my own cat when I was around 15 years old. I find them to be fascinating and that is why I have been a client (on the caregiver side) of KittyNYC for a few years, and I find them to be one of the top brands in this emerging business. I really enjoy playing with cats to experience their energy and playfulness, while at the same time petting them and connecting with them.

A little bit about myself - My name is Carlos and I am in my mid thirties. I am a very active person who believes in frequent physical exercise to enhance not only your physique but also your mind and emotional state. I work in management consulting for different sectors and enjoy new activities with friends and family. I have lived in the city for 7 years and came from Madrid, Spain where I grew up.

If you're looking for a temporary home for your cat/s and live on the Upper East Side we recommend you visit and meet Carlos. Contact us and send details about your cat/s and the service you need.

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

10/30/2018

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!

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"

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!

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.

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.

Jonathan provides in-home boarding in Astoria, Queens

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.

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!

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 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. My family has recently adopted Luna, who I love to spend time with whenever I visit home. I have been taking care of cats my whole childhood.

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. I will send pictures as often as you wish and can accommodate any dietary restrictions for your cats. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

If you need a temporary home for your cat/s in the Upper East Side, Lori and her roommates will be glad to have your kitties with them until you take them back. Contact us and send more details about the service you need and the care routine Lori should follow during the service. You will receive regular updates to let you know how your cat is doing.

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

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.

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 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! This means I am familiar with multiple cat personality types and this will come in handy because as we all know - not every cat is the same! I will care for your cat just as if it were my own. Since I moved to the Lincoln Center neighborhood in Manhattan, I have space for a new cat and love caring for one. Professionally, I am an executive assistant and I work from home, so expect your cat to have my full care and attention! I'm very responsible, respectful and look forward to meeting you and your little one!

If you live in the Upper West Side, Ashley can help you providing a nice temporary home for your cat/s. You will receive regular updates during the service. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.
