I'm Kat

Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY

I am a cat mom of 2 in Astoria with a love for all feline friends! I have a siamese boy who is boisterous, vocal, and absolutely loves meeting new friends, and a timid but affectionate tuxedo girl who is a stranger-danger believer from the bottom of her heart- because of this, I have learned to treat all my kitty friends as unique personalities with distinct needs. I believe every cat deserves an individual approach that honors their autonomy and preferenc... I am a cat mom of 2 in Astoria with a love for all feline friends! I have a siamese boy who is boisterous, vocal, and absolutely loves meeting new friends, and a timid but affectionate tuxedo girl who is a stranger-danger believer from the bottom of her heart- because of this, I have learned to treat all my kitty friends as unique personalities with distinct needs. I believe every cat deserves an individual approach that honors their autonomy and preferences. I pride myself on my warm but calm energy that can charm even the most shy cat.

Every visit will include feeding, water refill, litter refresh, and of course enrichment, playtime, and snuggles tailored to your cat. I make it my mission to follow all instructions exactly as presented, and to maintain open and consistent communication about your babies (and lots of pictures of their adventures while you’re away). Thank you for considering my services!

Learn More About Kat

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cat friends and taking the time to figure out their unique personalities because no two cats are the same!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a parkour-loving energetic siamese sweetheart named Zeppole, and a reserved tuxedo named Mousse who is very independent but still an absolute mommy’s girl.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I never force myself into an anxious cat’s space- I remain calm and still and talk to them slowly so they can get used to my presence and build up trust.

Kat was amazing with my shy cat, who seemed to love her! I was sent many photos, videos, and updates on how the visits went which made me feel very confident about how my cat was doing the whole time. It made me happy to know she was having fun while I was gone!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
