Lucia is gentle and easygoing. This affectionate 1-year-old cat was rescued with two of her kittens. To describe Lucia in a word or two would be mellow and affectionate. This lovely lady enjoys attention and lounging on a cat tree. She is respectful of your space and likes cat scratching posts. Lucia is still young enough to be playful but is gentle and kind. Lucia will make a great companion in any household, as she is friendly too!
Licorice is a cat’s cat! She would do well with an experienced cat owner who’s willing to work with her. Licorice is easily startled, so a quiet home would be best for her. This kitty prefers to be pet at eye level, whether on a cat tree or other furniture. When she wants pets she will run up to you, look at you, and then run to the nearest cat tree and flop over belly up, already purring for pets. Licorice scratches her own ear when she wants to be petted, like “hey look! do like this!” She likes to sleep in bed with you and is rather chatty. She does seem to take cues from other cats and would benefit from a confident dominant leader in the household.
*Senior Alert* Pigeon is a sweet and loving senior cat who is looking for a good home. Her previous owner who loved and cared for her is a paraplegic senior who can no longer care for her. Pigeon purrs non-stop, even in her sleep. She enjoys chin and butt scratches. Pigeon will let you brush her but will let you know when it’s enough. Although Pigeon sleeps a lot she does get bursts of energy and likes to run around between naps. Since she has been in foster and eating Royal Canin food, she has improved with her sensitive stomach issues and does well on a high fiber diet. Pigeon would need to be the only Queen of her castle and is available for long term fostering or Seniors for Seniors adoption through TLC.

Sweet Tea is a 2-year-old pint size pibble that loves to run and play. She is as sweet as her name implies and loves to be surrounded by people. She was found almost one year ago as a stray, a recent mom and very underweight, wandering busy roads trying desperately to get into passing cars. Since then, Sweet Tea has had many firsts, like learning she loves to swim, posing for photoshoots, and snuggle up to all humans she meets. She would do best as an only pet. She wants to befriend other dogs, but is young and likes to rough house, so constant supervision and selecting appropriate play dates is recommended. Sweet Tea will be at the shelter for one year next month. Let’s help her find her forever home soon!
If you are interested in meeting Sweet Tea, visit www. TownofSmithtownAnimalShelter.com, call 631-360-7575 or fill out an application at https://www.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com/applications.

Like many dogs, Roxy is stressed in a shelter setting and would love an adopter or foster to scoop her up. Please consider adopting her today.
