The cats were a black calico named Bella, a red tabby named Roxy, and a white cat with stripes named Tripod, according to a report in SoutholdLocal. Tripod also had difficulty walking due to a birth defect, according to the report.

One of the dogs was a border collie named Joyce who was particularly close to one of the residents, Kenneth MacAlpin, 51, according to the report.

“She lets me know when my blood sugar goes low and when my post-traumatic stress syndrome is acting up,” MacAlpin told SoutholdLocal.

The second dog was a pitbull mix named Bengor.

Anyone who spots any of the animals are asked to contact the shelter 631-765-1811 ext 1.
