Beth

My name is Beth, and I’m a cat boarder with Katie’s Kitty. I do this work because I love cats, and I enjoy “hosting” them in my apartment. I think I have a special ability to sense the amount of attention each cat wants and needs (they all have different personalities!), and I find ways to maximize their comfort and happiness, knowing it’s tough for them to be away from home! (My profile picture shows me with Koshka, one of the cats I boarded recently.)

My love of cats started many years ago, when I got my beloved pet cat Esme, a beautiful tortoiseshell who lived with me for 14 years until she died earlier this year. She had kidney disease and cancer, and for two years, I hydrated her daily with fluids to manage her kidney disease. During all those years, I also cared for and visited cats belonging to friends and neighbors.

I work for a nonprofit organization, supporting women facing breast and ovarian cancers. All of my work is dedicated to helping both humans and animals to have the best quality of life possible.

I live in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, which is easy to get to from Manhattan, and I am happy to host cats from all over. I stay in contact with the cats’ people during their entire stay, sending daily photos and updates.

I look forward to talking with you more about my services, and hope one day to get the opportunity to meet your cat!
