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!

Hey, I’m Val! I’m an avid animal lover and your feline’s future friend. Since I was a kid, I raised all sorts of animals from ferrets to iguanas to chinchillas. I’ve had the pleasure of working at an animal hospital in Bayside, an adult care facility in Park Slope and currently teach part-time at a school in Kew Gardens, Queens. It is one of my callings in life to care for the unspoken souls of this world, be it critters, children or the elderly. When I’m not trying to save the world, I’m usually playing/listening to music, studying astrology or attempting to write the next great screenplay. If you reside in Queens, especially the Hillside/Briarwood/Jamaica area, I’m your guy! I can ensure you that your pet will not only be safe and sound, but will be dwelling in a both peaceful and spiritual environment.

Val loves animals! He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment if you are leaving the city for just a few days, our cat sitting visits are recommended for short term. Contact us and send us more details about your cat/s and the service you prefer, either boarding or cat sitting visits. We'll be glad to help you.

Great people we have met! - Morgan

9/15/2023

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 from Greenwich Village. My name is Morgan and {other than existing as an around the clock cat-lover} I wear several artistic hats including songwriting, film-making, poetic prose writing, violin, piano, guitar, singing and stage performing. I've professionally cared for cats of all personalities and ages for the last several years in NYC and I can honestly say I'm always ready to get to know another cat. The most rewarding part of being with cats is building trust and seeing them enjoy the moment in their own preferred way, whether it's through playing with a toy, watching birds, eating a treat, receiving affection or just curling up to nap. If I get to visit with your cat or board them at my place they will probably be sung to and definitely adored. I take joy in keeping a clean apartment and am comfortable administering medication as needed. With grace!

"Time Spent With Cats Is Never Wasted" - Sigmund Freud

If you are located in the Village or the LES, Morgan might be available to help you with your cat. Our boarding service is recommended for longer services or very social cats. Cat sitting visits work best for short term (long weekends or holidays), a caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment.

She was very caring and considered how my cat has so much anxiety and honored his space. This was my first time boarding my cat and being without him since I adopted him at 15 weeks old. He's 2.5 years old now. She is very caring and we felt that we left Marshmellow in good hands. Her apartment is very clean and organized and feels safe for any pet to stay. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services especially if it is your first time.

She stayed in touch with me and regularly sent updates on how they were doing, gave them a lot of care and attention.

Gari provides cat sitting services in Crown Heights, Brooklyn

9/5/2023

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!

Three 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 François and I am a human 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 are looking for a reliable caregiver in or around Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Gari might be available. Cat sitting visits are the best solution for your short term needs (weekends, holidays, short business trips). You will receive updates after every visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you!

Play time - build a bond with your cat

8/22/2023

Interactive play time is a very powerful tool to build a strong bond with your cat. It is great for trust-building, exercise, release of energy, avoid cat boredom and depression. A cat who receives a daily dose of play time is a happier cat. Don't overlook the importance of activity, it can avoid many behavior issues.

A key ingredient in interactive activity with your cat is YOU. You may have a variety of cat toys in your apartment but they are dead toys without you. The concept behind any cat toy is to allow your cat to act like the hunter she was born to be. When you move a fishing pole type toy as a prey, the target at the end of the string will slide, dart, creep around the room, waking your cat's hunting instinct.

How you move the toy is important. Don't move it too fast or right in front of her face. That's not how felines hunt in the wild. They stalk their preys. Move the toy slowly across her visual filed. Cats cannot run for long periods of time, you should make her run but allow her time to catch her breath. You should always let her catch her prey at least once per session. The game needs to be fun for the cat, not a frustrating experience. End the game slowling down the speed of the toy and letting her play with the "dead" prey for a minute.

You should have a play session every day. It doesn't need to be long, once or twice a day for 15 minutes will do. The benefits are much greater than the time you invest. Your cat will be a healtheir/happier feline. Those sessions develop her confidence, increase trust and relieve stress.

In between games, you should always store interactive toys. Do not leave them out. You want it to be special and most imporant, you don't want your cat to chew on worn out parts that could be dangerous if swallowed. There are some "solo" toys your cat might enjoy on his own (mice, puzzle feeders, those that are safe when you're not around).

Cats are low maintenance pets but neglecting playtime and attention to your cat can result in obesity and other behavior or health issues.

Kitty in NY provides loving caregivers for your cat while you're away. They will play with your cat and make sure she gets the activity she needs. Contact us to book your next cat sitting or boarding service.

Marie was very friendly and professional. I even accidentally locked her out, and she informed me immediately and worked with me to get access to my apartment so that she could take care of Oliver (oops!). I told Marie that she didn't need to scoop the litter daily really, but Marie did because she clearly cared about how Oliver was doing! She sent me very cute videos and clearly took care of my old guy. And she even brought up the dry cleaning the doorman handed her (!! definitely not intended). Couldn't recommend Marie more, she's fantastic :)

Roland and his girlfriend (I’m so sorry I don’t have her name) cared so well for Benji! I was nervous leaving him for two weeks, but Roland made it very easy, answered my questions, and were open to a meet and greet prior. They sent me daily updates, and I could tell Benji was well taken care of. They were easy to communicate and work with, I plan to request them again when I need someone to watch Benji. Thank you!

Roland was so nice! He clearly made an effort to get to know Diesel and was so considerate of his needs. He is a mischievous young cat and Roland went with it, no problems. He sent pictures and videos every day of our cat clearly loved and enjoying his new setting. They played with him and he probably didn't want to come back home! There weren't many reviews on boarding so I hope this helps someone!

Roland is very punctual and responsible. He sends videos and pics of my kitties on every visit. My kitties are in good mood around him. He is very compassionate and connects with them very well. I see very active interaction such as playing with them and cuddling them. Routine service such as feeding and changing litter box are also taken care of in timely manner. I was very worried since this is the first time I’m away from my kitties for so long. But Roland’s service has assured me that my kitties are in good hands.

Patricia was an amazing cat sitter. She was considerate and timely with her updates and easily dealt with issues that came up in accessing our apartment. The kitties were happy and comfortable with her based on the updates we saw, plus they looked healthy and happy when we came back. She went above and beyond with cleaning up cat litter the cats dragged around the living room and the cardboard they ripped up. She was incredibly sweet, both the cats and us loved working with her.

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 Carolina, and I’m from Colombia. I am passionate about cats, and this love for felines awakened in me when I adopted my kittens Lupita and Lulu. Since then, I have learned to understand the language of cats, interpreting their signals when they want to play, are hungry, or not feeling well. I have a sensitive and loving relationship with cats, and I greatly enjoy spending time with them as they provide me with fun and enriching moments in my life. Aside from my love for cats, I also have other interests. I enjoy reading, and I have recently developed a new passion for cycling, which allows me to explore the outdoors and experience nature. Finally, I hope that I can share some enjoyable moments with your lovely pet.

Cat sitting visits is the perfect solution for your short trips. If you are located in the UES, Carolina might be available to help you with your cats. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Carolina was lovely in person and faithfully sent me videos of her caring for and playing with my 2 cats. They are very energetic and she made a great effort! I could tell she was very sweet with them, and they took her. She was creative in finding different amusements for them. Also, above and beyond, she was extremely patient and helpful when one of my cats acted out by using the rug instead of the litter! I couldn’t have had a better experience and will certainly recommend Kitty in NY.

Carolina was phenomenal. From the very first text message we exchanged, she was prompt and clear in communicating. She was attentive to the things about my cat that I brought up. While my family was traveling, she sent texts and multiple videos of her sessions with my cat after each visit. I was blown away by her attentiveness; she even brought her own set of cat toys to supplement play time and spent a lot of time at each session! She clearly and genuinely loves cats. I can't recommend Carolina enough.

My name is Scarlett and I'm a writer, content creator and cat lover. I grew up with cats but as an adult never really considered getting my own until I began volunteering with Brooklyn Animal Action. While volunteering at my first adoption event I met two crooked-tail cats named Ash and Nova. This chance meeting inevitably led to a #fosterfail and the rest is history!

Scarlett paid special attention to my cat in a way I know was appreciated, given how my cat responded to her in the photos. Scarlett was punctual with dinner, she was attentive to the air quality during the heat wave, and she seemed to really bond with my cat. What more could you want?

Great people we have met! - Helen

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!

Helen is a Kitty in NY veteran. Her first experience was with a sweet little guy who flew, with his owner, all the way from France to NYC. Since his owner travels regularly Miu Miu has spent considerable time on many occasions in Helen’s care, and a love-fest has ensued.

Helen has gone on to have quite a few regulars and is charmed by their individual personalities. Helen lives in a one bedroom Gramercy Park neighborhood apartment (E. 23 St.)

If you are located downtown or midtown Manhattan, Helen would provide the best care for your feline friend. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need. Our in-home boarding service is best for mid/long term, you bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where he/she will be the only pet. Your cat will enjoy the whole apartment. Our cat sitting visits are recommended for short periods of time. We look forward to helping you with your cat!

Helen was reliable, which was very important to us. She also showed she cared about our two cats. She asked questions when she needed to, and she was also able to make decisions on her own. We were very confident that our cats were in good hands, which is important when you are traveling.

Helen is a gem! I felt such ease knowing Groucho was in her care, being not cared for, but loved.

From when we first had contact with Helen she was friendly and informative about the process. Our cat, Anu, took to her from when she came for the free initial introduction which immediately help set our minds at ease. While we were away Helen provided daily emails with photos, and her emails made us smile. When we got home Anu had clearly been well looked after.

Helen also seems to genuinely love cats and is knowledgable about their needs and care.

We love Helen! She loves our cats Alex and Stanley and it's clear that they love her. Helen also sends the best email and photo updates. We picked up the kitties from Helen's place yesterday and they were calm and happy. Couldn't ask for more :)

My boyfriend and I had Helen cat sit our two-year-old tabby siblings this summer when we went out of town for the weekend. I can't express how crazy we are about our cats -- they are our babies and we could never put a price on their well-being, safety, and happiness. In the past we've had family watch them, so we were nervous about having a cat sitter. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended Helen and boy did we luck out.

Helen is incredible. She's very funny, kind, and warm, and knows just the right way to handle every type of cat personality. Our boy is a little piggy and tries to eat his sister's food, our girl hisses at strangers and hides. But she did everything right to make them as comfortable as possible. She sent sweet, detailed emails after her visits along with lots of photos that put us immediately at ease. She took care of feedings, litter, water changing, and cleanup, leaving everything immaculate.

We totally trusted her in our apartment and with our kitties. I can't say enough about Helen and am so relieved we found someone who can care for our cats when we need it. Very highly recommend!!

Helen is AMAZING! I couldn't be happier with her professionalism and help throughout the entire boarding process - my Napoleon, who can be timid with new people at first, warmed up to her immediately. She was also incredibly responsive and communicative while he was in her care, which helps put me at ease given this was my first time ever boarding him.

Helen emailed me nearly every morning with a detailed description about my cat's behavior and included several photos. Her emails were the highlight of my mornings!
Before I officially booked her, she invited me to meet her at her apartment; she showed me all of the supplies and furniture she keeps for caregiving and told me stories of her experiences with shy or difficult cats, which put my mind very much at ease.
I will definitely contact Helen next time I need a caregiver for my cat!

Helen had come to visit our kitty while we were away for short trips in the past, and we (and the cat) already had a good relationship with her.

Sophie (my cat) bonded wonderfully with Helen. Sophie is older and requires more attention than a younger kitty, but Helen made me feel very comfortable during my extended vacation (2 weeks) that she was happy and well cared for. Helen was nice enough to send frequent updates. Also reassuring!
