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.

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.

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!
