'Charismatic' Cranberry Sauce: Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Cranberry Sauce, a female estimated to be 7 years old, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week.

Cranberry Sauce is "charismatic," the shelter said.

"This sweet little dish made her way to the animal shelter after her owners abandoned her with her feline housemates behind to fend for themselves," the shelter wrote. "Despite the heartbreak of being discarded, this endearing lady adores all. After everything she has been through, this inherently good soul deserves a forever home she can finally call her own."

Cranberry Sauce would make a "purrfect addition" to a lucky family that "enjoys being adorned with endless love and attention from a furry companion," according to the shelter.

"She is a timeless classic and the perfect combination of sweet and tangy who brings comfort and joy to those around her," the shelter wrote. "Cranberry is incredibly friendly and will never miss an opportunity to greet a new friend. This little lady loves to cuddle and will warm your heart and home just in time for the new year!"

Cranberry Sauce would thrive in most homes including those with older children and calm dogs, the shelter stated.

"She is accustomed to living with multiple cats and can be adopted alone or with one of her housemates. Cranberry has an overactive thyroid and will need a home that can manage that."

If you are interested in meeting Cranberry Sauce, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.

There are currently a variety of male and female cats and kittens available to adopt or foster.

"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.
