'Incredibly Outgoing' Wilson: Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Wilson, a 7-year-old domestic short-haired male adorning a black and white tuxedo coat, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week.

He is a "dapper" boy, according to the shelter.

"When this sweet gentleman arrived at the shelter, caretakers believed there was a chance someone would claim him, but sadly no one did," the shelter wrote. "Upon making his acquaintance, you will quickly learn Wilson has a magical way of making everyone feel special. He appreciates every moment of affection and attention and repays you by cozying up ever so closely with the serenade of his gentle purr. Wilson is a social fella who likes to be seen. He is incredibly outgoing and never turns down the opportunity to greet a new friend. Wilson’s amazing personality coupled with his distinguished good looks will bring endless joy to a lucky family’s heart and home."

Wilson would do well in most homes, including those with kids, other cats, and possibly dogs, according to the shelter.

If you are interested in meeting Wilson, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soulmate 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.

To inquire about the Pet of the Week or to meet your potential soulmate, please call the Smithtown Animal Shelter at 631-360-7575.

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.
