Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Beefsteak

SMITHTOWN, NY — Meet Beefsteak, who was named Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week.

Beefsteak is a 2-year-old adult domestic short hair male who recently arrived after he was found in the tomato patch of someone's garden.

"Hence his name 'Beefsteak,'" the shelter stated via release. "Just be careful not to accidentally call him Beefcake!"

It didn't take long for Beefsteak to prove to the shelter's staff how affectionate he is. He loves being around people and being held. He’s still new at the shelter, so he hasn’t fully come out of his shell yet, but that will likely happen as time goes on, or when he finds a new home that’s right for him.

Currently, there are a variety of male and female cats & 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.

Walk-In Hours at Smithtown Animal Shelter are currently Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sundays are by appointment only.

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

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.
