The 'Kitten BnB' is a new rental guesthouse available through Airbnb that will offer guests with the ability to enjoy expansive views of the New York landscape, while also spending time with cats. The guesthouse was started by Jessica Thoren and her partner Eric who have fostered felines for three years and helped to reduce over 100 cats to date. Guests who choose to stay at the rental suite can spend their time cuddling with the furry inhabitants and can even adopt one if they're ready to take home a feline souvenir of their stay.
The 'Kitten BnB' is well-appointed with all the must-have amenities including a king-sized bed and well-appointed kitchen, and is available for rental at a cost of $110 per night.
