There’s dogs and cats and kittens of all ages, so take your pick! Why not bring one (or more) of these adorable animals home with you today? 

Available for adoption for All About Spay Neuter:

Leon
Leon

Leon is an adorably sweet 4-month-old kitten with an outgoing personality. When he was rescued his right eye was in in bad shape, but despite All About Spay Neuter’s efforts, his eye could not be saved and had to be surgically removed. But, he doesn’t let this get in his way and gets along just fine with his one eye. If you think you might be interested in meeting Leon or any of their other cats and kittens, please stop by the shelter or call/text Alicia at 516-510-6738.  

Available for adoption at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter:

Cassie
Cassie

Five-year-old Cassie came to the shelter as a stray this past September. She was found all by herself on Sunrise Highway, extremely underweight and had mastitis, meaning she just had a litter of babies which she was separated from. Her nails were very overgrown and she clearly shows signs of not having come from a loving home. This breaks everyone’s hearts because Cassie is a sweet, shy girl who looks for affection from people but is a little shy upon first meeting. Cassie is social with other dogs, but is nervous with playful behavior so a calm, chill doggy companion would probably be best for her. 

For more information about adopting Cassie, please call the shelter at 516-785-5220 ext. 4641 or  email adoption@tohmail.org today!

Available for adoption through North Shore Animal League America:

Available for adoption at the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter:Smithtown Kittens

Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pets of the Week, a clowder of kittens! These adorable little 3-6-month old toddlers are awaiting their purr-fect home. Most of these kitties are rescues from the Animal Shelter’s Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) Program. 

Sadly, these little fur babies are often passed up for the younger kittens (8-10 weeks) despite their beautiful coats and sweet demeanor. Statistically, the older a cat is, the more difficult it becomes to place them in a good home. Our hope is to find these beauties loving families while they’re still young. 

Kitten season is now all-year, as there are always new kittens coming into the shelter. In 2019, there were more than 100 kittens at the shelter, or in foster care. They have a large variety of sweet male and female kittens in all colors, and all cute as can be. The shelter is also seeking loving foster homes for their very small kittens who are in need of temporary placement before they are old enough to adopt.

All of the felines at the Shelter are current on vaccines and have received a full workup (blood work, Feline HIV & Leukemia tested, physical exam etc.) by a board certified Veterinarian.

If you are interested in meeting a cat or kitten, please fill out an adoption application online or call 631-360-7575 today for more information today.

As always, thanks for reading and please remember to always adopt, never shop…pass it on!
