'Endless Love' Moxy And Principessa: Smithtown Adoptable Pets Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Moxy and Principessa, a 9-year-old brother and sister duo, are the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pets of the Week.

"This endearing brother/sister duo arrived at the shelter after their dad fell upon hard times and could no longer care for them," the shelter wrote. "They loved their dad so very much and are having a difficult time adjusting to shelter life. Their ability to love deeply is truly heartwarming, and our greatest wish is to find them a loving home where they can enjoy their golden years."

Moxy is a "stunning" domestic short-hair orange tabby.

"He exudes warmth and affection," the shelter wrote. "Moxy would love nothing more than a chance to bring joy to a lucky family’s heart and home. A little patience and kindness will be rewarded with endless loyalty and companionship. He would do well in a quiet home with other cats and possibly calm dogs, but not children."

Principessa is a "gorgeous" domestic short-hair torti female.

"Her affectionate nature makes her the perfect companion, ready to share her love and warmth with a caring family," the shelter stated. "Expect a double dose of purring, lap naps, and snuggles while in the company of this sweet pair."

Principessa would thrive in most home environments, including those with older kids, other cats, and possibly calm dogs, according to the shelter.

"These two lovely siblings bring double the love and companionship — if you’re looking to add warmth and joy to your home, consider opening your heart to Moxy and Principessa. They’re ready to shower their new family with endless love!"

If you are interested in meeting Moxi and Principessa, 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.
