'Gentle And Playful' Laverne And Shirley: Northport Adoptable Pets Of The Week

NORTHPORT, NY — Laverne and Shirley, 6-month-old bonded sisters, are the Northport Cat Rescue Association's Kittens of the Week.

Laverne and Shirley are calico kittens with tabby markings.

"They were rescued by a kind gentlemen who found them scared, cold and alone," said Lora Wild, a volunteer with the rescue. "He called NCRA for help, and they went into a very loving foster home with children and even a large dog! They have the most gentle and playful disposition and get along with everyone."

They love to snuggle with each other and with anyone who is willing to give them affection, Wild said.

They are waiting patiently for their forever home in the rescue's habitats at Petco Commack.

People may also meet them this Saturday, May 17 at the rescue's Adoption Event at Petco Commack, at 30 Veterans Memorial Highway, Commack, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"In fact, if you put in an application between now and our event, we will waive the adoption fee for the second kitty!" Wild said. "Please help us empty the habitats, some of our furbabies have been waiting so long!"

Laverne and Shirley are spayed, have all their shots, are litter box-trained, micro-chipped and FELV/FIV negative.

If you are interested in meeting Laverne and Shirley, you may go to the rescue's adoption event or head to the Northport Cat Rescue website and fill out an application to let them know you would like to meet them or any of the rescue's other wonderful kittens and cats! Or you can call NCRA at 631-606-2631 or email info@northportcatrescue.org.
