Meet Mittens… a six years young female cat in need of a loving home. This adorable short-haired domestic cat is already spayed, current on vaccinations and house trained. The staff at the Smithtown Animal Shelter attest to her very sweet and docile temperament. Mittens, who got her name because of unique patterns on her front paws, does well with big families and craves constant attention. This healthy and happy kitty has many years of love and memories to give to one lucky person, couple or family. Visit the Smithtown Animal Shelter to meet Mittens and many more loving animals in need of a home.
As the proud parent of a rescue dog, this editor can promise that the bond between a human and a shelter animal is an extraordinary love story. The decision to adopt a dog or cat who has been abandoned, abused or far worse, will open your heart to a world of unconditional love. The saying; My Rescue Dog/Cat Rescued Me, carries more truth than a person can imagine. In a world of digital interaction, we as individuals forget how precious a warm welcome home can be. We forget just how vital genuine affection is to our happiness. When you give a shelter dog or cat a second chance, you also give yourself the gift of unconditional loyalty and love.
Adoption announcements like these are a part of the Smithtown Animal Shelter Advisory Council’s outreach initiative. The advisory group, created by Councilwoman Lynne Nowick was designed with the objective to improve the welfare and quality of life for the 700 animals who will pass through the shelter annually. This collaboration of animal advocates includes Shelter Director George Beatty, appointed animal welfare experts Lucille DeFina, Diane Madden and animal welfare attorney, Elizabeth Stein. The Smithtown Animal Shelter Advisory Council has orchestrated the hire of an in-house Veterinary Technician, increased medical care, humane spay/neuter program for homeless/feral cats, improved quality of food and a brand new IT set up. Thanks to volunteers, the Smithtown Animal Shelter Faculty and the Advisory Council, adoption awareness for the many rescues in need of homes has skyrocketed in web presence, media attention and basic grassroots attention.
