Bianca, Showing 'Endless Affection': Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Bianca, a young domestic short-haired female less than 1 year old, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week. She is "stunning" with a beautiful brown tabby coat, shelter staff said.

"This sweet girl was found as a stray, desperately seeking comfort from anyone who would stop to notice her," the shelter wrote. "From the moment she arrived, Bianca’s natural charm and affectionate personality quickly captured the hearts of the shelter team."

Bianca is a "true example of resilience," the staff stated.

"Bianca hasn’t let her difficult beginnings dampen her spirit. She is outgoing, loving, and always ready to greet new friends with endless affection and purrs. Bianca is the kind of companion who will bring joy, comfort, and cherished memories to one lucky family. With her irresistible personality and playful kitten energy, she is ready to leave her stray days behind and find a forever home filled with love."

Bianca is healthy and would thrive in most homes, including those with children, possibly other cats, and calm dogs, the shelter wrote.

Interested potential families for Bianca must first fill-out an application to schedule a time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.

"If you are looking for a fun-loving, yarn-tossing ball of love, stop by the Kitten Nursery or the Cat Condos at the Smithtown Animal Shelter and find a PURR-fect soulmate or two," the shelter stated.

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.

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.
