Plainview Area Pets Who Need A Home: Cats & More

If you've been hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, start with these animal shelters in the Plainview area for a pet you can take home.

Across New York, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a new companion is at Kittynap Kitten Rescue, where Apricot the cat is waiting patiently, or another local rescue facility. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.

If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've amassed this week?s list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you?re looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. If you're a cat person, meet Arnold , a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too.

Click on any listing to learn more about a pet or to start the adoption process.
