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’m Naila, a passionate cat sitter and feline behavior consultant with over a decade of experience caring for and understanding cats. Since 2013, I’ve been providing cat-sitting services. My approach focuses on improving their welfare, reducing stress, and incorporating playtime to keep them happy and healthy while their humans are away. I believe every interaction is an opportunity to create a positive and enriching experience for your cat.

In 2018, I began specializing in cat behavior consulting, creating customized behavior plans to help strengthen the bond between cats and their humans. My background includes a Master’s and PhD in Animal Behavior, with a focus on cat-human dynamics and interspecies communication, so you can rest assured your beloved cat is in knowledgeable hands. I’m also certified by the Cat Friendly Veterinary Advocate Practice Program, which promotes a stress-free approach to feline care.

As a cat parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone who genuinely loves and understands cats looking after them. Whether your cat needs extra attention, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.

I’ve also collaborated with shelters, veterinary clinics, and pet owners, using my expertise to improve feline welfare and help cats thrive in their homes.

Amber was great! Communication beforehand and during Willow's stay with her was super easy, and she was extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule (early drop off/late pickup). We received pictures of him every 3rd day and he clearly enjoyed his stay at her place. Thank you!

Amber is friendly, super sweet, and great with communication. She was very attentive in the talking process of understanding Toby's needs and typical care schedule, and I appreciated how much space he had to explore once he settled into her apartment. I could tell from the pictures she sent me that he felt super comfortable with her, and knowing that she's familiar with cats/had cats in the past only made me feel more secure with leaving Toby in her care. Gold stars, would recommend!

Amber did an amazing job caring for our cats. From our initial call I could tell she’s had a lot of experience with cats. While we were away she was very communicative in sending us photos and videos of the cats daily as well telling us how the cats were doing. It gave us a peace of mind to know the cats were comfortable in their new temporary home. We would definitely leave the cats in her care again.

Amber was very communicative throughout the process. She did everything to make my kitties feel comfortable, even when one had unexpected anxiety (and showed it by wailing). I was able to visit them and give them anti-anxiety medicine during their stay. By the end, I could tell my cats were comfortable with Amber and she took very good care of them.

I picked up Baraka today and brought her home. Just writing to tell you Amber did an excellent job! Baraka got comfortable with her very fast. Amber catered to all my cat’s needs, responded to my texts, and shared lots of photos which showed me that my cat was playing, resting, felt comfortable with Amber and enjoyed her stay. Thank you so much. Happy Holidays!

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.

Hello! My name is Ruxandra Iancu and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've had dogs, cats and a bunny, who lived happily to be 8 and a half years old. I don't currently have any pets and would love the opportunity to either house a cat in my own home, for the duration of your vacations, or to stop by your place and make sure your kitty gets some quality time, play time and proper care. 

If you are leaving the city for a short trip we recommend cat sitting visits. A caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment. For your longer term needs in-home boarding is the perfect solution. You bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be treated and their own pet. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Ruxandra is an amazing caregiver. This was my second time working with her. The first time, she fed my cats in my home, the second time, I boarded my cats in her home. Both times, she was incredibly attentive, asked great questions, was extremely communicative and caring, and sent great photos on a regular basis. My cats are very particular and aren't used to strangers, and took to Ruxandra very quickly. She is clearly an animal whisperer and has kind, calm, energy. I would not hesitate to use her again or to recommend her. It made my trip so much less stressful knowing my kitties were in a loving, caring environment!

Every caregiver I have had with Kitty in NY has been lovely, but Ruxandra took the extra care to meet me in person beforehand. Because she took the time to meet the cats, I knew I could trust her with my kitty friends. Thanks, Ruxandra!

Sidra provides in-home boarding and cat sitting services in Crown Heights, 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!

I've always been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a beloved cat and many other pets including a dog and I actually thought I was a dog person for a long time, until I lived with two cats in 2020 and fell in love again! There's nothing more special than a bond with a cat, and I truly love meeting each one and discovering how unique their personalities are. I'm a gouache/watercolor artist and often paint animals and pet portraits; I even discovered a lot of old drawings from when I was a kid were of cats! I think it's so important to give your cat space at first and get to know them, I'm a gentle empath and will make sure your cat has the best stay in my home. I'll provide lots of cuddles and playtime - if that's what they like! I'm also a film nerd and love watching old 80's and 90's thrillers, riding my bike around Brooklyn, and recently took up knitting which goes well with my cat girl status. I'd love to get to know your kitty BFF!
Picture
I've been boarding cats in my apartment for about three years now and it's been the best, so I'm ready to start doing home visits to meet more cats! :) I'm super communicative, reliable, and will send lots of photos and videos. I always make sure to spend a lot of time with your cat giving them love and attention and lots of play time. I'm also a neat freak and will make sure I leave your space tidy and clean. I think cats are super sensitive and emotional beings and can sense your energy right away so I try to always match their behavior and give them enough space if they need, and I find they usually warm up to me pretty quickly. I can't wait to meet and care for your kitties!  

I'm willing to visit Crown Heights, Bed Stuy, Prospect Heights, Ridgewood/Bushwick, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Downtown Brooklyn, Dumbo, Lower Manhattan, The West Village. Basically anywhere on the A/C line is easy for me to get to! 
If you're located in Brooklyn, around Prospect Park, Sidra could be the best option to take care of your cat/s while you are away. Whether you are more interested in boarding or sitting, please send us more details about your cat and the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

Sidra was an absolute dream of a boarder for my cat Kodak. She sent photo and video updates every day which made me feel so reassured that he was so happy and comfortable with her. When I had to extend the boarding a few weeks, she was more than happy to and so easy to communicate with. If you are like me and get nervous or guilty when you have to go away from your cat, Sidra provides a wonderful, loving home.

Sidra is a caring, communicative and experienced cat sitter who made me feel super comfortable leaving my cat in her hands for an extended period of time. She regularly sent photos and texts with updates which was so nice to see while away. Her apartment is well equipped for a cat and she even has a cat tree! I could tell that Penny quickly came out of her shell and loved staying with her. I would 100% recommend Sidra as a cat caregiver to anyone!

Sidra looked after our cat Ripley for 3 months while he was waiting for an export permit to travel overseas. Couldn't have asked for a better carer. She was happy to take his toys and furniture so he felt comfortable, logistics around food and litter were straight forward, and she even took him to the vet for the required check-ups in the lead up to his departure. Regular updates with lots of photos and videos, one very happy relaxed boy! He's now here with us on the other side of the world and settling in like he never left us!

Sidra was exceptionally kind and provided piece of mind while boarding my cat, Lux. I appreciated her communication when it came to bringing Lux and also in the flexibility to pick her up. She provided wonderful updates so that I knew how the stay was going and I was very appreciated of her professionalism, my cat is shy and Sidra has the magic touch in getting Lux comfortable and happy quickly. I will always seek out Sidra in the future and will recommend her to anyone that asks! Thank you!!

The importance of playing with your cat

9/8/2024

0 Comments

 
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).
Picture
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. Our cat sitting visits are perfect for short term or very shy cats who wouldn't adjust to a temporary home. An in-home boarding service is recommended for mid/long term services. Contact us to book your next cat boarding service.

Is travelling with your cat a good idea?

9/5/2024

0 Comments

 
Kitty in NY recommends in-home cat boarding for long services instead of travelling with your pet. Cats do not like long trips and will do well in a temporary home until you get back. Avoiding the stress of the trip will be greatly appreciated by your favorite feline. We have clients who boarded their cats for 3/6 months , even for a year. Our caregivers will send you regular updates during the whole boarding period. Contact us and tell us what services you need.

For short weekends or one week trips cat sitting visits to your apartment will save your beloved cat a lot of stress and anxiety.

If you need to take your cat on a car, train or air trip you should ensure it is comfortably secure in the right carrier.

You may give your cat the Bach Flower Essence "Rescue Remedy" to help it with the stress of traveling. Give a few drops in his/her water every day. The flower essence will help your cat remain calm.

It can be dangerous (and ilegal) to have a cat loose in your car – it cause an accident by becoming entangled with the driver. If a window or door was opened the cat could escape and get lost.

You need to invest in a carrier which is strong and easy to clean. Cats can urinate/defecate (or vomit) during long trips. Spray the inside of the carrier and car with Feliway before you're ready to go. Feliway sprayt mimics the pheromones cats leave when they are comfortable and relaxed.

Place the carrier where it will be secure if you have to use the brake suddenly but where it has a good air flow (not under luggage in the back of the car). You can secure the carrier behind the front seats or use the seat belt to hold it securely on the seat. The cat could meow initially or even throughout the whole journey – speak calmly and reassuringly to it but do not let it out of its carrier. The meowing will probably drive you mad but the cat is unlikely to be suffering; just voicing its dislike of the situation! Eventually the constant motion and noise of the car will probably induce your cat to sleep.
Picture
If you intend to travel by plane with your cat then you need to plan well ahead. You have a wide selection of airlines and how they transport your cat may influence your choice. Some airlines allow cats to travel with their owners (there is a weight limit and the size/type of carrier should be taken into account, airlines have all instructions regarding pet travel directions on their websites)  Sometimes cats have to travel in a special part of the hold which is heated and pressurized. Their fee varies from airline to airline, you should contact them to receive a quote.

Obtain a health certificate from your veterinarian. This health certificate should meet the requirements of your state or country of destination, as well as your airline carrier. Be sure to check on the time restrictions. Certificates often need to be obtained within 2 weeks of the flight. Carry the health certificate and your cat's vaccination certificates with you.

Place identification and contact details on the outside and inside the crate. Print 'Live Animal' on the top and sides of the crate.

Clip your pet's nails. This will prevent breakage of a nail if the pet scratches at the crate door.

When possible select a direct flight so that there is no need for your cat to be disturbed for transfers. This may also affect the timing of the flight you choose.

If you know your cat is a bad traveller and has previously been sick or agitated during a trip  it is worth consulting your vet about giving a sedative. However, some cats actually become more agitated with tranquillisers. You should limit the use of tranquilizers as drugs can alter the way cats adjust to temperature changes. Cats also recover from the journey faster when not sedated.

Remember to check all the regulations and requirements if you are taking your cat from one country to another. Preventive health requirements such as rabies vaccination (or even quarantine) will vary. Failure to comply with all requirements could be time consuming and expensive.

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!!

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!

​Hi, you can call me Youyou! I love animals, especially cats, but I currently don’t have the capacity to have one of my own, so I’d love to take care of yours. I grew up with dogs and haven’t had a cat of my own, but my old roommates had two cats, and I became one of their favorite humans. I lived with them for four years and miss them a lot! After my roommates moved out to the same neighborhood, I took care of their cats whenever they were out of town. I’ve also pet-sat a lot for my other friends and teachers from acting school. PS: Watching cat memes and videos is one of my favorite daily activities.

Great people we have met! - Tabish

7/25/2024

1 Comment

 
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!

Tabish is a world traveler who has lived abroad and now resides in a charming one bedroom townhouse on the upper west side of Manhattan. 

Growing up in Kenya, I was surrounded by wildlife. One of my earliest memories as
a child of 4 or 5 years of age is watching a lion cub, the cutest thing I’d ever seen. I
wanted to take it home, but my dad said I could have a kitten instead that was just as cute and from the same family. The rest, as they say is my cat history.
I have worked in the humanitarian sector in Europe, Africa, and Asia, using my
fluency in English, Swahili, Punjabi and Urdu.

My other passion had always been for fashion. I studied towards a M.A at Central St Martins, London, which opened up opportunities to work with artisans in Kenya, Gambia and Nepal to create artisanal jewelry and textile collections. It also enhanced my inherent talent for fashion styling. My motto is, Wear Color Every Day.
Picture
Tabish provides both services: in-home boarding and cat sitting visits. If you decide to board your cat, your kitty will have plenty of room to roam and play in this book filled and antique furnished home. Tabish works from home, adores cats, and has cared for many. Tabish will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit.  She cherishes their affectionate nature and is looking forward to getting to know your darling!​

Tabish followed instructions and was very attentive and patient with my cats, particularly shy Dusty - he always hides when strangers come, but she would check on him and try to coax him with treats, but leave him alone if he didn't want to be bothered with. By the last two visits, he had come out of hiding, which is very unusual for him, and shows that he was getting comfortable with her.

A bit about me.. I’m a recent college graduate who works as a teacher during the school year. I enjoy playing guitar, running and doing yoga. I love cats and other small animals. I am planning on adopting a pet next year!

My experience with cats is as follows… A young mother cat in my building’s basement was to be displaced and then to be adopted but there was no one to take the rest of her litter. So I volunteered to foster them until they found new homes. For two months I raised 3 month old kittens until they found good homes. I bottle fed them until they transitioned fully to wet and dry food. They were the sweetest kittens I’ve ever encountered and have since been rehomed to wonderful and loving families.

Anyways I love cats of all ages sizes and would be very excited to meet yours! Thank you for reading.

​​When it comes the feline species, I am a natural!  I love cats and have a relaxed, and perhaps intuitive, relationship with them.  I've adopted many cats over the years, the most difficult of which was inherited when I moved into a friend's vacated apartment.  The cat wouldn't come near me nor anyone, as it had been abused. It stayed in the backyard and I had to put its food on the stoop outside.  Any attempt to pet or go near it meant hissing and scratching. I slowly nurtured it and within 3 months, this cat was sleeping peacefully on my bed!  Since getting my first apartment in college, I have had cats, so I have literally a lifetime of owning or caring for cats - life is just better with them in it.  I have plenty of experience caring for other people's cats - both in my and their home. I never feel a cat is a stranger, and I am confident when they meet me they know they are in the company of a kindred spirit.

Picture

The other half of my life I live as a Feng Shui consultant.  I have a small business, and am passionate about bringing positive change to individuals and small businesses.  I have lived in different parts of the country, traveled extensively in India and the U.K. and owned my own small coffee shop in the East Village for 10 years.  In my practice I help people clear toxicity, lighten their load and teach them how to live in a clutter-free, energy-enhanced supportive environment.
If you're located in the East Village, Cheryl will provide the perfect home environment for your cat/s until you return. She also provides cat sitting visits to your apartment. She loves cats and enjoys their company. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

Cheryl was great! She was very nice when we first met her and made sure to know everything she needed to know about the cats in order to take care of them properly. We immediately knew she would be great for the cats because of the way she spoke to Batman when she first met him. Our cat Beans is very very shy but by the end of our trip, Beans was greeting Cheryl at the door. She’s very responsible, always sent us updates with photos and videos for every visit which was great for us as we didn’t have to text to make sure the cats were okay. She was also very responsive to any texts we sent. We’ve had some bad experiences with our neighbors cat sitting recently which is why we decided to finally bite the bullet and try out Kitty in Ny and we definitely made the right choice. We would love to have her take care of our cats again!

I’m happy to tell you about, Cheryl, our cat sitter. Cheryl came to us in August 2020, just as restrictions due to the pandemic were easing. She was very highly recommended by friends who are very experienced cat owners who had used Cheryl’s services in the past and were very satisfied. 

Most years, Cheryl cared for my cats for 14 days in the summer and another 14 in the winter. Plus, she always made herself available on short notice when I had to leave town unexpectedly. 

Cheryl’s visits the cat twice each day to feed and water him and then spends 30 minutes in play. She often texts me photos or videos of a play session. It’s clear that the cat is having a ball. Murphy has behavioral issues but she deals with him effortlessly. It’s obvious that she cares for him and that he loves her. 

I usually worry about my cat when I’m out of the house for any length of time but I go on vacation with no anxiety because Cheryl is so reliable and. so intuitive in dealing with Murphy. I recommend her without qualification to anyone who is in need of a skilled, diligent professional. 

By the way, it doesn’t hurt that on top of everything else she’s a genuinely nice person.  An absolute pleasure to work with.

Cat sitting visits are recommended for your weekends and holidays, the caregiver comes to your apartment to take care of your cat/s.

Joana has been working with us for many years. All her clients agree: she's an excellent caregiver, very sweet and passionate about cats!

I am inspired by my grandmother Ana Jesus Mora who lived  her life as a peasant in harmony with her natural surrounding in Colombia. She lived surrounded by animals: cats,dogs ,cows and chickens. Her favorite pet was a cat and she transmitted her love for animals.
My experience with cats is huge. They are always present in my life in different ways , I need that energy is something that makes me happy.
I am very aware about the necessities that cats have in big cities like New York.
Cats are independent and often entertain themselves but regular play sessions and loving care will provide them the physical and mental stimulation they need.

Having Elizabeth care for my cat Freya while I was away with my fiance for a few days was nothing but easy and comforting. She explained the process thoroughly and told me her experiences with other cats while she listened very intently to my explanations on Freya's quirks and needs. I appreciated how often she sent pictures of Freya without question and it proved that Freya also loved to be in her company because of how cuddly she was being with Elizabeth. I would be absolutely thrilled to board with her again next time as she has been very accommodating and kind.

I'm very glad you referred me to her and I will continue to use Kitty In NY services for future plans to make sure Freya is well taken care of.

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.

Elizabeth was boarding my two cats for two months and really created a wonderful home away from home for them. She stayed in touch with me and regularly sent updates on how they were doing, gave them a lot of care and attention. I would definitely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of car boarding.

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!

People know me as KJ.  I grew up with Animals most of my life.  I don't currently have any fur babies but I love to welcome them into my apt.  I live in a doorman, spacious 1 bdrm apartment in Hell's kitchen.  I have lived in the neighborhood for the past 20 yrs.  I have been caring for animals, mainly cats for the last 8 years.  I am attentive to their needs & Love playing and cuddling with them.  I have experience caring for both kitties as well as elderly cats; whom I am able to administer meds, if needed.  

Professionally, I work full time for a healthcare union and fortunately am able to work hybrid during the week.  I look forward to meeting your Kitty.

Cat sitting visits are recommended for short periods of time, if you are leaving the city for a few weeks or months our in-home boarding service is a better option. Kirsten can provide both, contact us and send more details about your cat/s.

I felt immediately comfortable leaving Zulu on Kirsten’s care. Her love for cats is obvious and Zulu warmed quickly up to her. She is very attentive to the cats needs, and kept me abreast at all times, letting me know how Zulu is doing.

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 currently work in fashion wholesale sales and am an avid animal lover. I have always thought about cat sitting as I have a deep love for cats and their well-being. I have had cats since I was a child and all throughout my life. My family always rescued cats, specifically black cats as those were the ones that had the hardest time finding homes. I have had 5 cats with my family over my life and considered them my best friends/siblings. We raised them till they were elderly and lived long, full, happy, and loving lives. I do not have my own cat at the moment, but would love the opportunity to care for someone else's cat while they are out of town. It is a win-win situation as I would treat the cats as if they are my own and in turn, get to spend quality time with them, which is a dream. I wish I got to spend more time with animals as I am a true animal lover and want the best for them. My family conditioned me that the animals always came first as they cannot care for themselves. That would mean cleaning the litter multiple times a day, finding their favorite foods (as cats often change their mind and are very picky), playing with them, brushing them, and cuddling (that is my favorite part). I hope one day I can have a cat of my own, but for now I would love to be able to spend time with cats through cat sitting and take care of them that way.

Samantha sent thoughtful photos and videos of Hemingway every visit and provided the best care I could have asked for. She stayed longer than 30 minutes each time - close to an hour each visit. She was thorough in his care and I look forward to working with her again. She is a wonderful asset to the Kitty in NY community.
