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! For over 40 years I have had the wonderful experience of having my loving kitties. I recently had to put my last kitty (Cookie) to sleep, which was extremely detrimental to me as I had her from 4 months to 19 years of age. At this juncture of my life, which includes retirement from The Board of Education of New York, I would just like to care for other people’s cats since I can’t handle the heartbreak again. If you live in or around Union Square, NY and are looking for in cat boarding services we recommend that you connect with Carol. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Avril - by survey 11/26/2023 * * * * * 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.

KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! My name is Caroline, and I am a lifelong cat lover! I grew up with multiple cats, have been a frequent cat sitter my whole life, and have been told I’m a cat whisperer to even the shyest of kitties. I am a New York City transplant who moved here from California, and I miss my family’s cats dearly (one 18-year-old, wise old man, who needs some special care and all the love in the world, and one playful and snuggly 8-year-old, who is still a little kitten in my heart)! I can’t have cats in my current apartment, but my work is freelance and flexible, which lets me reliably visit your furry friends in their home environment, where they are most comfortable. I love helping other cat owners feel at ease when they are going away for vacation, knowing their furry loved ones will be in loving, caring, and capable hands. I know firsthand how stressful it is to leave your dear kitties when you are going out of town, and how comforting it is to have a sitter you can trust who is very responsible, attentive to detail, and communicative while they are looking after your cats. I would be honored to be that person for you! I look forward to caring for and bonding with your cats, and keeping you updated on how they are doing. Every cat is different, so I look forward to getting to know your cat’s individual personality, and taking purrfect care of them! Caroline will enjoy taking care of your beloved feline/s. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Stuart - by survey 11/25/2023 * * * * * We are huge fans and while Barry has always been great, Caroline was also fantastic! Karin - by survey 04/29/2022 * * * * * Caroline was extremely thorough in reviewing all of the details of our kitties needs and was extremely professional while being friendly, warm, and caring with the cats upon meeting them. She was diligent in sending daily updates and pictures and, considering this was the first time we had left all four of our kitty family members alone for such an extensive time period, Caroline's professionalism and obvious love for and knowledge of cats calmed us tremendously, allowing us to enjoy our vacation. Several years ago, I was at a Thanksgiving celebration with my relatives. Most of the food had made it onto the dining room table, but for some reason all of the people were still in the kitchen or in the living room. We migrated en masse to the dining room and found the cat on the table. He was helping himself to the gravy. It was obvious that everyone present was a cat lover. Several photos were taken before the cat was removed from the table. And we still ate the gravy. If my pal Buster were allowed unfettered access to a laden Thanksgiving table I can only imagine the decimation that would occur to the dinner and the dog. Fortunately, cats aren’t as prone to extreme gluttony and subsequent pancreatitis and bloat. However, cat parents might be wondering which Thanksgiving foods are safe to share with cats — and which foods they should avoid. Thanksgiving Foods and Cats — Some General Advice Your cat shouldn’t be up on your Thanksgiving table, but if you want to share some of your Turkey Day feast, here’s what foods are safe for her to eat. First, remember that any cat might have specific food intolerances or allergies. So even if something is generally safe for cats, it might not be safe for your cat. Second, remember that moderation is key. If you allow your cat to feast at Thanksgiving to the extent that I do, then your cat, like me, will probably feel ill after the dinner. Unlike with me, however, that feeling of illness might progress to real illness. And some things, as will be outlined below, might be mildly toxic to cats and therefore should be minimized. Let’s look at specific Thanksgiving foods that are safe for cats: Can Cats Eat Thanksgiving Turkey? Yes. This staple of Thanksgiving happens to be completely edible and delicious for felines. Skinless white meat is most benign, but most cats can handle dark meat or a bit of skin and giblets as well. I remember as a child my father would give a hearty helping of skin, fat, and giblets to the cat every Thanksgiving. I was worried that it could cause heart disease in the cat. I had not yet learned that fat and cholesterol do not contribute significantly to heart disease in cats, and possibly not in humans either. However, the fattier parts of the turkey are more likely to cause upset stomach, so go easy. Can Cats Eat Gravy? The cat I mentioned above suffered no adverse consequences from his gravy lapping. However, remember that gravy is fatty and salty. Moderation is key, and the salt could cause problems for cats with pre-existing heart conditions. Can Cats Eat Mashed Potatoes? I like to make my mashed potatoes with lots of garlic, onion, shallots, half-and-half and butter. It turns out that garlic, onions and shallots can cause Heinz body anemia in cats. And many cats are lactose intolerant, so the half-and-half could be a problem. However, garlic isn’t cyanide and half-and-half isn’t acetaminophen (which is massively toxic to cats). Most cats could survive a bite or two of my potatoes. And they certainly could tolerate milder, less rich mixtures. But I wouldn’t recommend serving up mashed potatoes to your cat. Can Cats Eat Stuffing? Again, garlic and onions could be a problem. And the bread laden with delicious turkey grease might cause gastrointestinal issues. It’s best to keep your cat out of the stuffing. Can Cats Eat Green Bean Casserole? The green beans are no problem, but the canned onions are. This is a no-no for cats. Can Cats Eat Cranberry Sauce? Although it’s certainly not a part of a cat’s natural diet, it’s not toxic either. I learned in vet school that cats supposedly are not attracted to sweet items or tart items. My experience, however, has been different. I’m sure that some cats love cranberry sauce. Fortunately I doubt that any problems will occur if your cat breaks into yours, unless it’s so loaded with brandy that the cat gets drunk. Can Cats Eat Rolls and Breads? Plain rolls and bread should not be a problem. Garlic bread, on the other hand, introduces a risk of Heinz body anemia. A Final Word of Caution on All Thanksgiving Foods for Cats: For the record, I am not advocating that cat owners pile heaping dishes of Thanksgiving food for their cats. In fact, really the only food that I can unhesitatingly recommend for most cats is skinless turkey breast. But if your cat drinks a bit of gravy, or licks a bit of cranberry sauce, or noshes on a roll or digs into the lime Jell-O, you probably don’t need to be worried.Also, remember not to feel too sorry for your cat when you do not share your delicious Thanksgiving meal with her. She already no doubt has plenty for which to be thankful.

KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I had my first kitty in college and my second while living in San Francisco. Returning to New York, I lived for years in a building where I could not have any pets. So when I moved to my current location, in Manhattan's East Village, I made up for lost time. That was way, way back in 1992. I contacted an animal rescue agency named BeingKind. (That was the precursor to KittyKind in Petco.) Soon I took in a family of six abandoned cats from BeingKind. I included an old scratched photo, taken before the days of cell phones and similar devices. The momma and poppa cats were about a year and a half old. Teenagers in Love I called them. The four kittens were six weeks old and just learning to walk. They were about the size of my hand (not counting the tails). I eventually adopted out two kitties and kept four felines to myself. They all lived exceedingly long lives, so I must have been doing something right. The momma cat lived to 18 years of age, the poppa and one daughter both lived to 19, and the final daughter lived very close to 21 (about 20 years and 9 months). After the family went to Kittie Heaven, I took a break from being a caretaker. That ended in about nine months. One night I went dancing at Barefoot Boogie (highly recommended) and met someone who worked for Kitty in New York. That marked the beginning of the next phase of my love for felines, as I soon became an Official Kitty Caregiver. I can now offer lots of love, a spacious one bedroom apartment, and decades of experience for my feline friends. I am able to give injections, pills, subcutaneous fluids, and blood glucose monitoring for cats with medical needs. I am now partly retired but work about 20 hours a week as a psychotherapist. This allows me the luxury to spend lots of time with my four-legged friends. As you might guess, I love to write so I enjoy sending frequent emails or texts plus loads of photos to cat owners. This allows the owners to enjoy their vacations or business trips, knowing that their kitties are happy and doing well. ____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Lisa - by survey 11/17/2023 * * * * This was such a great experience! My cat has to take 2 pills/day, eye ointment in one eye and eye drops in the other. The schedule for administrating the meds is intense with the ointment being 3x day. Phil administered all the meds with ease and on time! Spike the cat was super comfortable with Phil and was sleeping with him by day 3. I received email updates with pictures of Spike every few days, and very much enjoyed Phil’s writing style. Lena - by survey 10/03/2023 * * * * Phil was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about cats and truly cares about them. My cat is rather nervous and demanding and I was worried about leaving her with a stranger. I didn't have to. Phil's kindness, patience as well as deep understanding of cats' needs and behavior won her over and she had a good time with him. Phil regularly sent me detailed updates and pictures. I'm so glad I found Phil and will definitely trust him with my precious little princess whenever I have to travel. Megan - by survey 06/07/2023 * * * * Phil is amazing and took such good care of our cats over the trial weekend. We're looking forward to our first vacation together in 3 years because we trust Phil to take good care of our old boys. Romina - by survey 05/17/2022 * * * * I booked with Phil the second time in two years and I am always amazed how much of a "cat whisperer" he is. You can tell the cats are calm around him. He took care of all three of mine this time around and I particularly appreciated the loving care he gave to my eldest who needs regular medication. In addition Phil was extremely reliable with his email and photo communication. He also was dependable in terms of pick up and drop off arrangements and very helpful in both directions. I felt confident knowing my cats were in good hands! Sarah - by survey 9/19/2021 * * * * Phil was great! It was clear he had lots of experience with cats and that my cat was very happy when I was away for a week. He sent email updates with pictures and cute stories about what my cat was up to, and he was very attentive. Etienne - by survey * * * * Phil was fantastic. Very kind, I could feel right away that he loves cat and is able to create a good and calm environment for them to feel at ease. The minute we dropped our cat at Phil's apartment, she felt secured and not stressed and the stay went very smoothly. Phil did great at sending us pictures and updates every few days, so we knew everything was going well. Thank you! Lily - by survey * * * * Phil was very pleasant and kind to my cat Momo upon meeting him. He sent in-depth emails of Momo's daily life while I was away, along with photos, which eased my mind about uprooting my kitty. As a seasoned cat sitter he had scratchers and toys available, and didn't mind my young cat's curious, and sometimes frenetic, demeanor. I was very glad for Momo to have companionship while I was gone. This is my second time using Kitty In NY, and although I was paired with a different sitter each time, both experiences have been positive. The office staff is also very professional, prompt, and easy to communicate with. They helped me right away even though my planning was relatively short notice. Shauna - by survey * * * * Phil was a wonderful caregiver to our elderly cat. He was kind and loving and very attentive to our kitty’s very picky demands, and kept us informed about how things were going with funny emails and photos. Any kitty would be lucky to have a stay in Phil’s kitty hotel. Elisabeth - by survey * * * * Phil took care of my cat Miumiu who has a chronic illness and requires medication + visits to the vet. He was extraordinary with him and took excellent care of my cat. I suspect my cat wanted to stay longer at Phil’s actually!!! Ahah. Phil has a kind heart and is a loving and humorous kitty caregiver. He sent us regular news via lovely emails + pictures of Miumiu. I really recommend Phil as a caregiver! Romika - by survey * * * * * Phil was an excellent, reliable cat-caregiver from the beginning to the end of this entire process. The drop-off and pickup went smoothly and during the weeks I was away on vacation, Phil stayed in touch with plenty of great information about how my two cats were doing at his place, as well as pictures. During the course of the time my cats were with him, he encountered some problems with his Verizon service, and I was impressed that he called me by phone right away to let me know so that we could work around it. Phil was able to give one of my cats the medicine he needed as well. Now that they are back home, it seems that they are even more at ease than before visiting with Phil. Highly recommend! Kelly - by survey * * * * * Phil took great care of my boy Vincent. He sent pictures and email updates several times also which was great! Phway - by survey * * * * * Phil was amazing! I'm so happy to have had him look after Del. It was very obvious he adored kitties, and was so caring and loving to Del. He looked after him incredibly well, was very easy going, and always updating with funny, entertaining stories of his time with him. Phil even went out of his way to help me with the purchase of a pet travel crate, and assembled it while I was gone, so that Del could get used to it before his travels. Phil followed all the instructions and had no trouble at all with adapting to Del's special needs like cleaning his ears and having warmer spaces for him to curl up into (as he's a Sphynx cat and gets chilly). All to say, I would recommend him highly to anyone! Claudia - by survey * * * * * Phil was amazing! I like him better than a previous sitter I used with KittyInNY. The moment I walked in to see Blue you can tell he had a great time and felt extremely comfortable. Phil also seemed to be very loving and affection. He would send daily emails and pictures. All in all, I was very pleased with his service. Georgiana - by survey * * * * * Phil was extremely welcoming to our cat and played with him. He gave very detailed and humorous updates by e-mail. He also went out of his way to help us when we encountered some difficulties with our return flight. Our cat returned in a very good mood, no doubt thanks to enjoying his stay with Phil. Laura - by survey * * * * * Phil was great! My cats loved him and were at home right away. Phil was very responsive and communicative and sent lots of updates and photos of my cats during their stay. Zoe - by survey * * * * * Phil regularly wrote really lovely messages about Blueberry and what she was up to. His pictures were great and overall his communications were thorough, clear, and kind. He cares a great deal about cats and I trusted that Blueberry was in good hands while I was away. Anna - by survey * * * * * Deli stayed with him for almost 3 months and I got updates on him, with pictures, pretty much every week. Anytime his food would be close to over, we were able to organize so that the website Chewy would deliver more. Deli seemed to love his stay, and reluctantly got into his carrier when we left. I would definitely recommend Phil to care for cats as he is very dedicated, caring, and keeps me updated with anything, plus pictures! Ana * * * * * Phil was so nice and caring with my baby! Sent me updates and pictures of him which I really appreciated. He was very attentive and my cat seemed to really enjoy his time with him. Stefanie * * * * * Phil was very responsive to any emails I sent him and was extremely attentive with his updates. He sent photos regularly along with great stories of how the kitties were doing. I got a sense that he truly cares for felines. Just after the first few interactions with him, I was immediately at ease, as I knew my fur babies were in caring hands. Devon * * * * * Phil was so thorough with his emails detailing the status of our kitties while we were away. He’d send cute photos with his emails too. He also made sure he had all of the feeding times exactly correct. He was very pleasant and kind to work with and clearly loved taking care of our boys. I would definitely recommend him to others! We would use him again too. If you live in or around Union Square and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Phil.

She ate so well, she even gained a pound while there! We could not be happier with this great service! Alicia - by survey 09/1/2023 * * * * * Denny looked after our Logan for about a week. He was very welcoming, and gave Logan his own space to explore and decompress. Logan seemed comfortable almost right away! Denny was very communicative, and sent updates and pics almost every day we were away. It was great having peace of mind that our boy was well looked after. Pick-up was a breeze - Denny had Logan's water fountain and litter tray bagged up and ready to go when we arrived. He's also quite the character! It was a treat getting to know him.

REVIEWS Mary - by survey 11/04/2023 * * * * * The email communication is always timely and precise. The sitter, Grace Mortimer, was just amazing and went above and beyond the outlined duties, particularly picking up and delivering back our cat. I have always had a good experience with Kitty in NYC. We enjoy the fall with pumpkins, spiced teas and lattes, colorful leaves and orange decorations. Unfortunately it is sad that some people prefer to hurt pets during this time of the year. Make sure you keep your pets inside, not only they'll be warmer but the risk of losing your beloved cat increases during this period. Some shelters have a "no black cats adoption policy" before Halloween. They could just be used as Halloween props and then abandoned. Or much worse. Ritual sacrifice still exists, there are stories in the newspapers every now and then describing horrible scenes. Some could be dismissed as urban legends but the possibility is out there. For all those reasons, please keep your cats indoors during October. Your neighbors might be wonderful but the traffic of strangers around Halloween increases. This makes it unsafe for cats to be outside, specially gentle cats who do not fear humans. On Halloween night you might want to keep your cats in a quiet room to avoid the constant visits and ringing. Even the quietest and most social cat becomes upset with so much traffic, costumes and excitement. KITTY in NY provides cat sitting and in-home boarding services. Cat sitting visits are a good option if you leave for a long weekend or a few days. A caregiver would visit your cat/s, taking care of feeding, cleaning and scooping. You will receive regular updates after each visit. Contact us with more details about the service you need. Photo by Hannah Troupe on Unsplash This latter was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, entirely black, and sagacious to an astonishing degree. In speaking of his intelligence, my wife, who at heart was not a little tinctured with superstition, made frequent allusion to the ancient popular notion, which regarded all black cats as witches in disguise. Not that she was ever serious upon this point - and I mention the matter at all for no better reason than that it happens, just now, to be remembered. Pluto - this was the cat's name - was my favourite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me through the streets. Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character - through the instrumentality of the fiend Intemperance - had (I blush to confess it) experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I grew, day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feelings of others. I suffered myself to use intemperate language to my wife. At length, I even offered her personal violence. My pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my disposition. I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as I made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my way. But my disease grew upon me - for what disease is like alcohol? - and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming old, and consequently somewhat peevish - even Pluto began to experience the effects of my ill-temper.

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! Now that I’m retired I have the freedom to travel. When I’m gone it’s usually for weeks at a time and thus I am unable to have pets of my own. So it has been a great joy for me to work for KITTY in NY these past 5 1/2 years where I’ve had the pleasure for sitting for about three dozen different cats—each with their own unique personality. I have especially enjoyed getting to know the owners of several of my repeat clients. No matter how shy at first, or how hostile, any of my kitties have been I’ve yet to meet one that doesn’t end up snuggling on the couch with me. I have compiled a voluminous photo album of all my furry visitors and hope to keep adding pages to it for many years to come.

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! Greetings from Greenwich Village. My name is Morgan and {other than existing as an around the clock cat-lover} I wear several artistic hats including songwriting, film-making, poetic prose writing, violin, piano, guitar, singing and stage performing. I've professionally cared for cats of all personalities and ages for the last several years in NYC and I can honestly say I'm always ready to get to know another cat. The most rewarding part of being with cats is building trust and seeing them enjoy the moment in their own preferred way, whether it's through playing with a toy, watching birds, eating a treat, receiving affection or just curling up to nap. If I get to visit with your cat or board them at my place they will probably be sung to and definitely adored. I take joy in keeping a clean apartment and am comfortable administering medication as needed. With grace!

The Maine Coon is one of the oldest breeds in North America. The Maine Coon is generally regarded as a native of the state of Maine (in fact, the Maine Coon is the official Maine State Cat). The breed originated when short haired cats bred with long haired cats brought to the area (perhaps Angora or Turkish cats brought to New England by seamen or other long haired cats introduces by the Vikings). Maine Coons were popular competitors at early cat shows in Boston and New York. 'Cosie' a brown tabby female won Best Cat at the 1895 Madison Square Garden Show. Their popularity as show cats declined with the arrival in 1900 of the Persians. Although the Maine Coon remained a favorite cat in New England, the breed did not begin to regain its former popularity until 50's. MCBFA membership includes over 1000 fanciers and 200 breeders today. Maine Coons were well established more than a century ago as a hardy, handsome breed of domestic cat, well equipped to survive hard New England winters. The Maine Coon is a strong, healthy cat. Everything about the Maine Coon is designed to survive a harsh climate. Its coat, heavy and water-resistant, is like that of no other breed. The coat falls smoothly, and is almost maintenance-free: a weekly combing is all that is usually required to keep it in top condition. The long, bushy tail which the cat wraps around himself when he curls up to sleep can protect him from cold winters. His ears are heavily furred for protection from the cold. With their round, tufted feet are able to walk on snow. The relatively long muzzle facilitates lapping water from streams and puddles. Maine Coons are muscular, tall cats; males can reach 13 to 18 pounds, females weigh about 9 to 12 pounds. Maine Coons take time to develop, achieving their full size when they are 3 to 5 years old. Their character remains kittenish throughout their lives; they are big, gentle and good-natured. While Maine Coons are people oriented cats, they are not overly dependent. They do not constantly pester you for attention, but prefer to "hang out" with their owners, investigating whatever activity you're involved in. They are not, as a general rule, known as "lap cats" but as with any personality trait there are a few Maine Coons that prefer laps. Most Maine Coons will stay close by, probably occupying the chair next to yours instead. Maines will follow you from room to room or wait outside a closed door for you to emerge. A Maine Coon will be your companion, your buddy, your pal. They make great family pets.

I am very happy that Albena took care of my cats and I look forward to when she can care for them again! Carolyne - survey 10/17/2021 * * * * * I was very satisfied with the services Albena provided for ICY. Icy had a fabulous time.

Susanne - survey * * * * * Albena was awesome with Loki! She provided pictures and updates, and I could see that my cat really enjoyed using the large cat tree she has.

KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Three years ago, on a rainy August evening in Miami, as I was walking up to my apartment, I suddenly encountered the love of my life. Off to the side of the path, there was a little gray and brown striped cat, wet and shivering. I stopped right where I stood, heart in my throat, and she ran right up to me. She weaved between my legs a bit before plopping herself right on my sneakered feet. I squealed (as quietly as I could) with delight: just 2 nights before, I had proclaimed to my roommate that we would be getting a cat. We had already began to rearrange our furniture, effectively baby- (or kitty-)proofing the space; we bought oodles of wet food, a comfy bed, a carrier, and tons of toys. We had no idea that 2 days later, we would be welcoming this small furry ball of energy, who came to be called Tootsie, into our home. I am so glad she did! My name is Gari François and I am a human of many talents. I am originally from NYC. I'm a Prep for Prep, Sacred Heart ('12), Wesleyan ('16), and AmeriCorps/City Year ('17, '18) alumna. I've lived in Miami (and briefly in Maryland) for the past 2 years. I came back to the Big Apple at the end of 2018 (for those keeping track: since moving back to NYC, Tootsie is currently living with my cousin and I visit her every other weekend). In addition to loving up on and caring for cats, a large portion of my time goes towards building my healing & coaching business, where I work to create spaces for folx to explore & better understand themselves, their feelings, and their purpose. When I'm not doing that, you can catch me cleaning/KonMari-ing people's homes, reading something about consciousness, drawing in my notebook, or working on any one of my numerous passion projects! If you are looking for a reliable caregiver in or around Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Gari might be available. Cat sitting visits are the best solution for your short term needs (weekends, holidays, short business trips). You will receive updates after every visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you!
