Shannon grew up with dogs, but got two kitties as soon as she was out on her own with her own apartment! Her first two kitties were with her for a very long time. Zoe lived to be 11 and her sister, Sadie (20!!!) lives with grandma and grandpa in Wichita, Kansas, where she moved when Shannon moved for school. Shannon was drawn to Kitty In NY because she missed her cat and thought it would be a great opportunity to have the companionship and fun of a cat. She misses her Wichita Kansas Kitty very much! Since starting with Kitty In NY in January of 2014, Shannon has had cats regularly and long term. She even has a very loyal repeat customer who has come back 4 or 5 times. Shannon's West Village studio apartment is cat-friendly and has lots of space for kitties to play curl up. They have their own special eating place and a separate place in the bathroom for the litter box. If there are needs that a client has, it is very easy to make accommodations. She also lives alone so it is very easy to maintain the space, safety, and schedule. All of her feline residents have been comfortable and happy so far. Because I have such a flexible work schedule and do a lot of work from home, kitties are not left alone for long and have lots of company and attention. Shannon has experience giving pills as well.
Shannon also provides cat sitting visits to our client's cats in their apartments. Her kitty clients love the daily attention, you will receive an update after each visit. Contact us with more details about the service you need.
Shannon is an actress and dancer with many things going on in the performance world. She teaches dance, dance fitness, is an independent graphic designer, and works for the New School for Drama as a visiting artist. She travelled the world as an Air Force brat before settling in California and then New York.

Our girl stayed with Shannon over a month. It was the first time she stayed that long without us so we were very anxious. Shannon was very friendly and kept us posted all the time. We could also tell from her pictures our kitty was feeling comfortable. Overall great experience. Thank you Shannon.

Shannon sent pictures of the kitties. She accommodated our need to keep them with her for another day, and even went out and bought them a can of cat food. She was wonderful!

Shannon took great care of Emme. We were gone for 2 weeks and Shannon kept us updated that Emme was doing well, including sending pictures. It is obvious that she was well cared for while we were gone! Thank you!

Shannon is a wonderful cat-sitter and both our cats love staying with her! She is really kind and goes out of her way to make them comfortable - and doesn't seem to mind they take over her bed!!! She sent us regular updates and photos which is always nice when you are far away!

Excellent experience! The staff is professional, responsive and encouraged me to visit the caregiver before confirming the reservation. The entire process made me feel very comfortable knowing that my kitten would be in great hands (the caregiver, Shannon, was great!). I receveid daily updates from the caregiver and she even included a few pictures. Highly recommended!

Shannon was awesome. Emailed us updates as we traveled abroad in China. My wife was worried when we first left, but after seeing a couple of pictures of our cat lounging around at Shannon's...it put her and I at ease.

Shannon was incredibly kind, fun, and passionate about her love for cats, and I knew that I did not have to worry about my cat at all with her. He was in the best of hands.
