Laura gave my senior cat so much love and attention and kept me in the loop while I was away with photos and messages. My cat needs MANY medications, so it is asking a lot of any caregiver, but she handled it all without stress. My kitty came home so relaxed and we had no issues :)

Kim clearly loved cats and was thrilled to meet Solomon. She listened closely to my instructions and followed them exactly, even writing everything down in her notebook. She was easy to communicate with and had an upbeat personality. She made a real effort to play with Solomon with the toys I gave her. She took photos of Solomon and texted them to me. She made me very comfortable leaving Solomon in her care.

My name is Albena and I live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment, near the Bronx Botanical Garden.  I know that your cat/s will love living here not only because of the abundance of space to run and leap, but also because I have a wonderful cat tree where they can climb and sharpen their claws.

If your kitty has special medical needs I am adept at administering pills, drops, subcutaneous fluids and diabetic injections.  My sensitivity for shy cats help to give extra soothing comfort.  My clients have returned to find their pets friends a bit sweeter.  Clients have been kind enough to provide me with a five star rating.

As a passionate animal lover, I grew up with cats predominately.  My entire family consists of cat people with amazing stories to tell.  My love and interest in the feline kingdom has grown over the years while owning numerous cats, deeply bonding with them, playing, cuddling, learning about their unique personalities and also witnessing (as difficult as it has been) their transitions.  It will be an honor and a pure joy to meet you and your furry friend/s...

If you live uptown or in the Bronx, Albena will provide the perfect temporary home for your cat/s. Her spacious apartment is kitty proof, your cat/s will enjoy the huge cat tree in her living room. Contact us with more information about your service.

Albena took care of our cat Chase for two weeks while we were away. Albena loves cats and has a special connection with them. She talks to them, plays with them and is very attentive to their needs. When Chase was not eating in the beginning of her visit Albena bought her special paste to bring back her appetite. She totally converted Chase to healthier food, which she refused to eat in the past. She sent us regular updates, and we found Chase very relaxed and comfortable in her home two weeks later.

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 a great spacious one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Forest Hills. I live alone and my apartment is very safe for the cats. I have taken care of cats for over 15 years.  The cats usually take over my apartment and I just pay the rent.... They always feel very comfortable and they can sleep with me in my room, go on the couch, pretty much whatever they want to do. I keep treats for the cats when the behave and am very gentle with the cats. I love playing with them as well as I am at a Petland buying up the store for them.

They call me the "cat lady" so to speak... I have had a lap cat in the past and simply loved when she would curl up on my lap. My last two cats lived until 20 and 21  years of age... they were pretty much spoiled. Well that is pretty much my "cat life story". Rest assured you cat would be extremely safe with me.  I am experienced in giving medication to cats.

I'm now retired so your cats won't feel lonely.

If you live in Brooklyn or Queens, please ask for Beth and she can provide the perfect temporary home for your cat/s. You will receive periodic updates during the boarding. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

The cats got comfortable in Beth's apartment very quickly. We could tell she's truly a cat person. She let them sleep on her bed and had all kinds of toys for them to play with. We felt very reassured by Beth's caretaking and did not have reasons to worry one bit while we were on vacation, knowing that they're in a cozy place and are being loved. Beth certainly has her way with cats!

A big shout-out goes out to Beth for handling my not-so-easy Bengal Pigeon. Beth watched Pigeon for 3 weeks. Not only did she survive his neediness and torrent of meows, but Mr. Pigeon came back to house calmer than he left. Beth even got him into a feeding routine that will greatly please our vet, since he’s gained a little weight (a goal for our picky old man). She’s very experienced with cats. I would leave Pigeon with her again in heartbeat; and I dare say, he enjoyed the time that he spent with her too. Many thanks to all!

Beth was fantastic about keeping me up-to-date with Mochi's well-being/condition for the duration of Mochi's stay with her. Mochi seemed very happy and content in the photos, and upon her return home with me, she was extremely relaxed without any apparent anxiety or clinginess. Mochi's happy state was a very good indication that she was well cared for during her stay with Beth. Beth asked a lot of great, thoughtful questions when I dropped off Mochi, and she took the time to show me around the spaces that Mochi would be in and to make sure that everything was set up for Mochi to settle in quickly. All in all, I'm very thankful that Mochi was in such great hands and I thank Kitty in NY for matching us up.

Burmese cats are a charming, affectionate breed that has won hearts around the world. Known for their striking appearance and playful temperament, these cats make wonderful companions. In this blog article, we’ll explore the physical description, origins, daily care, and common health concerns specific to the Burmese breed.

Burmese cats are medium-sized, muscular felines with a compact and sturdy build. They have a distinctive, shiny short coat that comes in a range of colors—from the classic sable (rich, dark brown) to blue, chocolate, lilac, red, and cream. One of their most captivating features is their large, expressive eyes, which are typically gold or green. Their rounded head, short muzzle, and sleek body combine to give them an elegant yet robust appearance that exudes both warmth and vitality.

The Burmese breed traces its roots to Southeast Asia, though it was refined and popularized in the United States during the 1930s. The foundation of the modern Burmese cat is often credited to a cat named Wong Mau, brought from Burma (now Myanmar). Breeders in the U.S. were captivated by her striking appearance and friendly demeanor, and through selective breeding—often involving Siamese cats—developed the breed we recognize today. This careful breeding helped create a cat known not only for its beautiful looks but also for its affectionate and people-oriented nature.

Burmese cats are relatively low-maintenance when it comes to grooming due to their short, glossy coat. A weekly brushing is usually sufficient to remove loose hairs and keep their coat looking its best. Because they are active and social, it’s important to provide them with plenty of interactive play and mental stimulation. Regular play sessions, puzzle feeders, and climbing structures can help keep them physically and mentally healthy. In addition, ensuring they have access to fresh water, a balanced diet, and routine vet check-ups will contribute to their overall well-being.

Overall, Burmese cats are a generally healthy breed with a long lifespan, often reaching 16 years or more. However, like all breeds, they can be prone to certain health issues:

• Diabetes Mellitus: Due to their love of food and potential for weight gain, Burmese cats can be at risk for diabetes if overfed or under-exercised. Maintaining a healthy weight through proper diet and regular activity is key.
• Obesity: Their sociable nature and appetite make it important to monitor their food intake and ensure they get enough exercise.
• Dental Issues: Regular dental care, including brushing their teeth and routine vet dental check-ups, can prevent periodontal problems common in many cats.
• Hereditary Conditions: While less common, it’s important to choose a reputable breeder who screens for genetic disorders, ensuring a healthy start for your Burmese companion.

Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to catch any potential issues early and to keep your cat in optimal health.

The Burmese cat breed offers a delightful blend of beauty, personality, and resilience. Their affectionate nature, striking appearance, and relatively easy-going care requirements make them an excellent choice for many families. By staying mindful of their dietary needs, maintaining an active lifestyle, and scheduling regular veterinary visits, you can help ensure that your Burmese cat leads a long, healthy, and happy life.

Whether you’re a longtime cat lover or considering your first pet, the Burmese cat is a breed that promises both companionship and endless charm.

In-home cat boarding is a convenient service that allows cat owners to find a temporary home for their furry friends while they’re away. Instead of traditional boarding facilities, your cat receives personalized, 24-hour care in a warm, home-like environment provided by dedicated cat lovers—all at an affordable rate. At Kitty in NY, we carefully select the top caregivers across the city to ensure your pet is treated like family. Plus, we encourage our clients to leave reviews and feedback after each service, helping us continually maintain the highest quality of care.
 
We visit and meet the caregivers to ensure they are qualified to watch your cat. When the best option for your cat is confirmed you may meet and visit the perspective caregiver. The in-home cat boarding service provides a no cost, no obligation meet and greet for the client and potential caregiver to see if it will be a good fit.
 
In-home cat boarding services offer cats individual attention, your cat/s would be the only pets in the apartment. They can also keep up with your pet’s regular routine — including eating schedules, grooming necessities, and daily playtime requirements — so your cat has less anxiety while you’re away.
 
While price is certainly a consideration, how your cat will be cared for while you’re away is paramount. We believe we provide the best solution for our clients in New York City. Our caregivers enjoy having a cat for a few days (or a few months). This would be the only solution for a long term boarding. You can now take a long break, pursue a carreer opportunity overseas for a few months or visit family and friends for long periods of time. Your cat will be in good hands and you will receive periodic updates during the boarding.

Kitty in NY isn’t just about connecting owners and caregivers but also ensuring quality through caregiver reference checks, reviews, personal interviews, online training and follow up during the boarding:

1. Is the caregiver’s home clean and safe? Before you head out to tour Europe, head over to the caregiver's apartment that you’re considering to confirm your cat will be placed in a cat friendly, secure home. The meet and greet is free, it is the best way to ensure the caregiver we selected is your best match. We can propose several caregivers until you find your match.
2. Are the caregivers responsible and reliable? We meet and interview all our caregivers. They have been cat owners that for different reasons do not own a cat at the moment. They have the experience of taking care of a cat and enjoy cat company.
3. Our caregivers have no pets of their own, your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. This helps reduce the stress of your cat and the time to get adjusted to the new environment.
4. What’s the daily routine of your cat? If your cat needs his pill at a certain time of day, or likes to play with you before dinner time, be sure that the in-home boarding care will be accommodating following your cat's routine. Consider feeding, medication, physical needs and hygienic needs. All those details will be included in the contract.
5. Provide full disclosure. In addition to interviewing the in-home cat caregiver, providing an out-of-town contact number, it’s a cat parent’s job to be open and transparent about a cat’s needs. Share as much info about your cat’s personality, needs and medical history as possible to ensure your pet has a fabulous time on his vacation!

I picked up Bonnie on April 22, 2024 from Anna Lokken. Anna did a fantastic job caring for Bonnie during the two months he was with her. He put on a little weight, which is good because he was a little scrawny looking when I dropped him off in February, and is coat is shiny and silken instead of flat and dull as it was in February. Anna kept me updated on Bonnie’s well-being and sent photos which his owner thoroughly enjoyed.

I highly recommend Anna to anyone in search of a caring and thoughtful cat sitter. An example of Anna’s care was immediate the day I brought Bonnie to her apartment. He yowled all the way from his home on West 86th Street and was quite agitated when he arrived at Anna's. To soothe him, she played calming music and within minutes he quieted down. 

Thank you for your help finding a great temporary home for Bonnie—and at such short notice. I will gladly refer anyone looking for a cat sitter to your agency.

She was easy to reach and communicate with, and her apartment was clean and easy to access for drop off/pick up. Our cat seemed to be healthy and happy when we returned from our trip - he’s seemed stressed after some other hosts so I appreciate her and her family keeping him happy. She had everything packed and ready to go on pickup day making this a simple process. My only (minor) suggestion would have been to receive a couple of photos/updates via email with how things were going during the stay rather than just near the end - other caregivers we’ve used have done this every 2-3 days and it’s appreciated.

It is stressful to leave our beloved felines when we travel. Boarding is recommended for your longer term needs, you bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where he/she will be the only pet. Cat sitting visits are perfect for your weekend/holiday trips, a caregiver visits your cat in your apartment. You will receive periodic updates during the service.

She was experienced and knowledgeable with caring for an elderly, special needs cat. Jen was the FIRST sitter we have ever had who did NOT have any issues medicating our Ittybitty. We will definitely request her for our next kitty-sitting needs.

Jennifer was a Godsend. She helped us through a very difficult time and went far beyond expectations. Her extreme care allowed my daughter to concentrate on getting better. There is no way I can say enough of how overwhelmingly pleased I was with her performance.

When we had our initial meeting he was very respectful and he had a great vibe. He took the most amazing pictures and videos and gave daily updates.

I asked for a sitter who would be open to visit twice a day, with fresh food in the morning and evening. With each visit, Oscar sent texts with pics and videos providing evidence he was making an effort to interact w/ my anti-social cat, Buddy. Oscar even got Buddy to play w/ toys that I thought he had long ago lost interest in. It was clear from when I introduced Oscar to Buddy that he was a cat person - even Buddy was immediately rubbing against his legs. When I returned home after a 4-day weekend, Buddy was clearly healthy and the apartment was not the wreck I expected from my cat.

Oscar went above & beyond a regular cat sitter - he sent beautiful photos and updates about how my cat was doing everyday while I was away. I didn't want to bother him by bombarding him with questions everyday, and yet he was happily giving me updates whether or not I asked. He showed genuine care and affection towards my cat and I couldn't have asked or entrusted anyone better while I was away. I would ask Oscar to catsit for me again in a heartbeat.

Oscar was amazing. He took great care of our cat (both in terms of feeding her and playing with her) and took beautiful photos of her too. We don’t need cat sitting often but we hope Oscar is available the next time we need help.

Oscar is just the best. Our cat Biscuit is not the friendliest cat in the world (to say the least), but she seemed to enjoy the time she spent with Oscar. And he sent us texts on a nightly basis along with the best photos anyone (including us) has ever taken of our cat. Oscar's extremely conscientious and we can't recommend him enough. We're so glad we found him.

Booking the service, the initial "meet-and-greet", to the daily updates. We never had to worry if our cat was happy and well-taken for. Oscar's attention to detail and sweet updates made being away from our fur baby that much easier!

Oscar took care of my cat for a little less than a week. I have zero complaints...everything went smoothly and Oscar followed all of my written instructions  (which weren't too intricate - fortunately, I don't have a high maintenance cat). He also took amazing photos of Asher in action during their daily playtime! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend others to as well!

Kitty in NY and our cat sitter Oscar are life-savers! Oscar cared for our cat as if it was his own, petting, playing, feeding and loving her every single day that we were out of town on vacation. What's more, he sent amazing pictures and status updates of our kitty each day!  Can't recommend him and the company highly enough - thank you Oscar and kitty in NY!!!

I immediately was drawn to how warm, genuine and all around nice Oscar was - everyone loved Oscar ! My cats loved Oscar ! My hubby loved Oscar ! Even my doorman loved Oscar ! Even almost a month later, when I told my doorman Oscar is coming back to watch the cats again - they were like: " Oh, yeah, Oscar, very nice guy."

Literally, he was so nice, that even my doormen remembered him from a month before! Additionally, he takes professional photographer like photos and sent us a bunch of pictures each time that were one of a kind !

Very professional and considerate. Email updates everyday with photo and video attachments. Not only took care of my cat but also cleaned the environment. 

I do feel that Oscar has the passion and love for cats and it reflected on his cat-sitting works. My cat is shy, not every caregiver got the chance to see or pet my cat but Oscar made it all, which took me by surprise. I guess my cat likes him!

Roland took care of our cat Chessy really well. When we had dropped her off with Roland, he sent pictures of her settling down and making her way around in his home - hiding, coming out and exploring, eating food, using her litter box. The pictures made us relieved that she was doing ok. Roland also made sure he sent regulars updates/ pictures. He also allowed our cat to treat his home like her own home.

Additionally, Roland was very flexible with us regarding the pick up and drop off time. Our return flight was delayed by 2 hours and Roland was flexible with the pick up time being delayed by us.

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. I will highly recommend him to anyone who needs care for their beloved kittens.

We had great communication from Val, and she payed attention to all of our instructions. The cats were treated very well and came home happy and healthy.

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!

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!

If you live close to the UWS in Manhattan Barry could provide a nice temporary home for your cat. He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment, cat sitting visits are recommended for short term services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.
