SMITHTOWN, NY — Siobhan, a 1-year-old female domestic shorthair, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's featured pet this week.

She was found as a stray, covered in ticks and crying out for attention, according to the shelter.

"She’s still looking for someone to become her new best friend and provide her with a furrever home," the shelter wrote in an email. "She immediately attaches to people and will be very vocal when she needs a little love. Siobhan gets along well with other cats, and would be a welcome addition to any family willing to give her the love she deserves."

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.

Due to the coronavirus, the Smithtown Animal Shelter has had to restrict public access to confirmed adoption appointments and animal/wildlife rescue. Hours are currently Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays and Wednesday evenings are by appointment only.

The Smithtown Animal Shelter's primary concern is finding the perfect home for each animal that finds his/her way to it. The Animal Control Officers and kennel attendants at the Smithtown Animal Shelter will go out of their way to ensure both the rescued and rescuer are made for one another. If you have other pets, you can arrange to bring your four-legged family member into the shelter or they can set up an at-home meet & greet to see how your prospective new addition does with other family members, pets or the household itself.

The shelter is also seeking foster volunteers. Foster parents provide temporary care for cats, kittens and dogs in their own homes. Some animals need as little as two weeks of care, while others may need care for an extended time.
