The magnificent Thor is a true bundle of love and joy, guaranteed to fill any home with warmth and laughter. His affectionate nature shines through as he adores couch and bed cuddles. Thor’s favorite sleeping position, on his back with limbs sprawled, speaks to his comfort and relaxation. His preferred toys are the big and fluffy kind, or something he can sit and chew on, showcasing his playfulness. He’s working on his separation anxiety, and his progress is commendable-each day brings improvement. He’s averse to closed doors, a sentiment many of us share. Thor is a cooperative shower buddy, allowing paw touching, belly rubs, and kisses. House trained and well-behaved, he has access to a yard and doesn’t have in-house accidents. Thor doesn’t require crating, showing excellent behavior even when left alone.
Earlier this year, Ivory was saved from the euthanasia list, marking a turning point in her journey. Ivory stands as a magnificent example of beauty, loyalty, and affection. To ensure her optimal growth and well-being, Ivory would thrive in a home where she has the companionship of a spirited and playful dog who can guide her along the way. While she adores children, Ivory isn’t fully aware of her own size, thus a household with kids aged 13 and older would suit her best. Although she’s crate trained, Ivory experiences anxiety when new people enter her space, requiring a patient owner who can facilitate gradual introductions. She’s adept at learning routines swiftly, demonstrating her eagerness to explore, walk, and share love. At around 1 year old, Ivory is an endearing, silly, and affectionate pup!
Blossom is a 5-month-old rescue who loves lots of attention and affection. Once she knows you are just there to love her, she will lay on her side and ask for belly rubs! She is so playful and does well with others.
Archie was rescued from NYCACC late last year after becoming rather sick. His cold symptoms have subsided; however, he does have kidney disease which is maintained with only one medication. Don’t let that stop you from falling in love with Archie – he will steal your heart especially since he loves belly rubs and rubbing all over you!
Someone was feeding Oliver when they noticed a large wound on his inner leg. After bringing him to the vet, they needed him to stay indoors while he healed and the wound needed to be cleaned daily. The feeder couldn’t commit, so Lend-a-Paw jumped in. Even though Oliver was in pain, he was the sweetest boy and allowed all handling. He is very mellow and loves to lay in his bed and be comfy all day! He gets along great with the other cats, and is about 2-years-young.

Available for adoption at the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter
Introducing Mohawk; a short-haired, black and white tuxedo kitty, approximately eight months old. This dapper domestic feline arrived at the Smithtown Animal Shelter with his littermates as part of the Town’s Trap, Neuter, Release program (TNR). While Mohawk took some time to trust humans and is still a little shy when meeting new faces, he is incredibly loving and affectionate with his caretakers. Once you make his acquaintance, Mohawk will devote your time together getting his fair share of TLC. Mohawk loves doing figure eights between his people’s ankles, falling asleep on a cozy lap, and rubbing against your shins. The Smithtown Animal Shelter believes Mohawk would do best in a quiet home. However, a home with older children, other cats, and possibly dogs would be okay as well. The key to win over Mohawk’s heart is just a touch of patience.
If you are interested in meeting Mohawk, call 631-360-7575 or fill out an application at https://www.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com/applications.
