SMITHTOWN, NY — Frankenstein and Catapotumous — Frankie and Cat for short — are the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pets of the Week.

"This inseparable duo arrived at the shelter after their owner, sadly, could no longer care for them," the shelter wrote. "Their deep bond is truly heartwarming, and our greatest wish is to find them a loving home where they can enjoy their golden years together."

Frankenstein is a grey and white domestic shorthair, estimated to be around 17 years old.

"The senior of the pair, she exudes warmth and affection, winning over everyone she meets," the shelter wrote. "Frankie would love nothing more than to be adopted alongside her best friend, Cat. She would do well in a home with older children, other cats, and calm dogs."

Catapotumous is a 13-year-old brown and white domestic short hair female tabby.

"Her affectionate nature makes her the perfect companion, ready to share her love and playfulness with a loving family," the shelter wrote. "Expect a double dose of purring, lap naps and snuggles while in the company of Cat and her bestie Frankie. Cat would thrive in most home environments, including those with older kids, other cats, and calm dogs."

These two lovely ladies bring "double the love and companionship," according to the shelter.

"If you’re looking to add warmth and joy to your home, consider opening your heart to Frankie and Cat. They’re ready to shower their new family with endless love!"

If you are interested in meeting Frankenstein and Catapotumous, 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.
