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.

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!​

Extremely satisfied! Tabish is amazing. I was very happy to receive the frequent updates she sent, which showed that our usually reserved kitty, Biscuit, was relaxed and comfortable in Tabish's company. Knowing that Biscuit was in such good hands made our vacation that much more enjoyable.

Loved Tabish, she was committed and caring and I am certain I can trust her with my cat. Ne is so shy and takes ages to get used to people and get out of her hiding spot. But she did this time. Will def ask Tabish to look after Ne again.

Zeus is a very social cat and it is very clear when he's not had enough attention, especially after a week away. I was happy to see that he was not at all anxious or needy when we came back home.

Tabish did a great job communicating with us and spent lots of quality time with Pinot! We felt certain that he was being well taken care of. I’d be happy to have Tabish cat sit for us again.

Tabish really went so far above and beyond in caring for our cat (and our plants!), especially dealing with an issue with our spare key not working. She was so communicative and friendly even with all of that hassle and my slow response times. Our cat was comfortable with her and happy when we returned. Her updates were thoughtful and thorough. I really can't say enough good things about Tabish --I will definitely be requesting her specifically next time we go out of town!

Tablsh is really good with my boys. They have got used to her no, and really nice to see that she can get exceptionally shy Dusty to eat treats out of her hand importantly, I trust her.  She keeps me informed of what's going on and I feel safe leaving my cats and my apartment in her hands.

Tabish has been absolutely fantastic and very accommodating. We’ve had the opportunity to do both sitting and in home boarding and she has been lovely to work with, is a wonderful lady and has so much knowledge and understanding of cats that we felt completely secure about leaving our furry rascals with her.

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.

My cat Carmella was very welcomed in Sara and Mithat's home, and their friendliness made her comfortable right away. We had great communication and both Carmella and I clicked with the caregivers thanks to great communication and mutual interests. Even with Carmella being older and very anxious when being put in a carrier for short travel, she was calm when at their apartment and has stayed calm and happy ever since I got her home!

Hello kitty parents! my name is Jessica. I'm a DJ and a Chef. Since I was a child I always had this affinity to connect with every pet I met. I’m an introvert person but when I meet a cat I transform into this very fun and loving person, always up to play and for some cuddles with the little ones. I always try to connect with their personality so I know how to treat each cat and make them a happy day 😊

I have dedicated my life to giving foster care to rescued cats. I moved to NYC one year ago and started cat sitting since I don’t have the space to keep providing for cats in needs. I live with one of the rescues I did in the Dominican Republic. He is my entire universe! My sibling and my best friend and every cat I sit, I treat them as my own. I’m very loyal to my clients and always available & easy to reach.

If you are looking for a trustworthy cat sitter in the Bronx or the northern tip of Manhattan, Jessica will be glad to help you. 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.

If you are looking for a temporary home for your cat/s, Monika will be glad to help you. She misses having kitty company, she will provide all the love an companionship your pet deserves until you return. Boarding your pet is the best option when you leave for weeks or months, that way your cat will not be lonely, as soon as she adjusts to the environment she will enjoy her time away. If you are only leaving the city for a few days we recommend our cat sitting services instead, a cat sitter will come to your apartment and visit your cats every day until you return. 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.

Law student and Pro-Bono legal aid (Fulbright) fellow. Looking for a cat to hangout as I read books and drink coffee. Trained in First Aid & CPR, also with providing shots and medicine. I speak a little Spanish and Dutch, could possibly chat with your cat if that's the native language.

A bit of a musician– I don't anticipate duets but that could be fun. Will check in regularly and treat your cat as my own. Excellent references from Stanford and UCLA... now attending NYU.✌️🙏👍

​When I was four, a stray cat (which my brother was secretly feeding) ran into my house and birthed three kittens. We weren’t a pet family at that time and my parents only had childhood experiences of raising dogs. 

We became pet/cat people overnight. 

Of that litter, one survived for 20 beautiful years. Chichi and I grew up together. Because of her, I’ve always been able to connect with cats — even ‘tough’ cats or strays. She wasn’t the only cat I raised; we came to own two other cats in her lifetime. The three cats couldn’t be more different, and yet, my relationship with each was special. Eventually, they all passed and I wasn’t sure I’d jump back into owning a cat because I was afraid I’d never find cats as great. I was so wrong.

Four years ago I adopted a 6 y.o. tuxedo cat with arthritis. He came from a hoarder home and was extremely skittish with people. I have never had to work so hard to ‘normalize’ a cat, but Figgy and I have made strides. Due to his arthritis, Fig is on a strict diet and is medicated daily. I intimately understand the importance of adhering to diets/medication routines because his comfort depends on it.  ​

I’m very good at meeting cats where they are. Figaro has taught me that some cats really operate at their own pace and can’t always be bribed. I’m comfortable with keeping my distance from a cat who wants that and also giving a kitty all of the loving it demands of me. I work as a graphic designer in FiDi and live in Harlem. Happy to visit with any kitties along the 2/3 line :)

If you live in on the west side of Manhattan or the Bronx along the 2/3 train line, Erika will be delighted to take care of your cat. 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.

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.

Laura LOVES cats and took really good care of our cat Obi. She didn't simply feed him, change his water and cleaned his litter. We were away for 2 weeks and Laura sent us daily updates with pics and videos of Obi playing with her, or doing the cat's thing; hanging out oblivious to human presence:) He obviously was in good hands. Laura understood Obi's routine immediately and went along with it . First eat, then play, then hang out, then little trip to the kitchen to check if by any miracle there was more food:) I highly recommend Laura. She will take good care of your furry friend.

Danielle: In my life I have owned 3 cats (2 at a time). One of my cats was diabetic, so I have experience with giving insulin shots and caring for cats with special medical needs. I live with my boyfriend, who has also owned cats in the past.
​I am a doctor podiatrist, I have experience with giving injections, pills and IVs in humans, and injections in cats.

​Marshall: I am a financial editor living in Boerum Hill, working in the FiDi. I live with my wonderful girlfriend, Danielle, who introduced me to the Kitty in NY service when she asked if I wanted to board cats in our apartment. Being a cat lover I immediately agreed, and we’ve hosted many excellent kitty guests since. Expanding into the caregiving role simply increases the opportunities I have to make more feline friends. I grew up in rural upstate NY and had many different pets growing up: dogs, cats, chickens, horses and once a very irritable goat. Cats have always been my favorite, as they are by far the most interesting (sometimes maddening). I am experienced in handling the diverse personalities of cats and can recognize when your cat wants to play and when they just want me to leave them alone. I enjoy sending fun updates to my client’s owners and will, if allowed, inundate you with pics of your pets being thoroughly spoiled while you’re away.

If you live in northern Brooklyn or in the FiDi, Danielle and Marshall could be available to visit your cat/s in your apartment until you return. Our cat sitting service makes it easy to leave the city for a few days. You will receive updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cats and the service you need.

Marshall and Danielle were very attentive to Norman. I was a little worried because we moved just a few days before his stay so I hoped he’d easily transition.

Preserving pets’ health is a major priority for any pet parent. Dog owners are very particular about dog health. This is because dogs are prone to many health issues.
There is, however, a misconception surrounding cats. Most people think cats are much more resilient than dogs. The saying that cats have nine lives is a testament to this misunderstanding. This is simply not true.
​
Dogs and cats are equally likely to get health problems. For example, 10%-20% of all dogs and cats get allergies. The best determinant of dog health or cat health is the animal's age and its genetic predisposition to certain health concerns.

​​Common Skin Problems in Cats

One common problem that many cats suffer from is skin issues. Research indicates that 6% to 15% of all cats suffer from at least one type of skin problem. Here are some frequently occurring skin conditions you need to look out for as a cat parent:

1. Alopecia
Alopecia refers to excessive hair loss. Most cats shed their fur so a little bit of hair loss is not a cause of concern. If, however, you notice that you can see the skin where the fur once was and the hair loss is continuous then this is not normal.

2. Itchy Skin
Itchy skin is a result of irritation and inflammation. Itchiness causes a lot of discomfort and must be dealt with immediately. You can detect itchiness by observing your cat's behavior. If they itch constantly and appear uncomfortable, then going to the vet is a good option. There are many different causes of itchiness, ranging from food allergies to fleas and even certain internal diseases. Seeking quick treatment is the best course of action.

3. Skin Issues Caused by Bugs
Cats are prone to infestation by bugs such as ringworms, fleas, and mites. Many of these parasites live on a cat's skin and cause itchiness, hair loss, and redness.

Conclusion for Dealing with Skin Problems in Cats
As a pet owner, you must always be on the lookout for any sign of skin problems in your pets. Once you recognize them, it is best to consult your vet. Many people try to change the cat';s food thinking the cause is food-related allergies. Self-diagnosing can be harmful so going to the expert is key to seeking treatment.
