Carly is a 7 year old Dilute Calico. She is very sweet and friendly. She loves to follow us around while cleaning and is a bit of a talker too. She has hyperthyroidism. This means her thyroid gland is overactive which causes weight lose and can lead to other problems if left untreated. Luckily we found this out early enough and she is on her medication. Carley takes her medication easily in a little canned food. The medication itself is also cheap. She will need bloodwork every few months to make sure her dose does not need to be changed. She is a sweet heart and deserves a loving home. Will you be that loving home for her?

The Islip Animal Shelter is located on 210 S Denver Avenue in Bay Shore. The shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about the Islip Animal Shelter, visit their Facebook page here.
