Host a Cat in Your Home This Summer — Paid Boarding

What’s involved

A cat-care service that connects owners needing temporary care with people willing to host a cat at home — anywhere from a few nights to a few months — is actively looking for new boarders right now (boarders, not sitters; the sitting roster is currently full). Quick check before you reach out — this only works if all of these are true for you: • You don't have pets of your own • Cats are allowed where you live • You plan to stay put in your apartment for at least a year, living in NY most of the time • You live alone or with adults only (no young kids) • Your place is genuinely cat-safe — window screens, cozy spots, the works • You're in one of these areas: Manhattan (Harlem, UES, UWS, Midtown, Chelsea, West Village, East Village, Soho, LES, Tribeca, FiDi), Brooklyn (Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Barclays Center), or Queens (Astoria, Forest Hills, Jackson Heights) If that's you, the next step is a home visit to interview you and answer any questions. Boarding pays $175 for a week, $282 for two weeks, or $450 for a month. Reply with your neighborhood, your history with cats, and why you'd make a good host.
