Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Polly

SMITHTOWN, NY — The Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week is Polly, a female 2-year-old domestic short hair Polydactyl cat, more fondly referred to as a "Hemingway" cat, the shelter announced.

"Polly the Perfect Polydactyl" was brought to the shelter as part of its Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) program, along with her infant kittens. Polly nursed her four babies until they were grown and ready to be adopted. All of her kittens have since been adopted. Polly is looking for a family to love her like she loved her kittens.

She can be a little shy at first, but once Polly gets to know you, she will try and seek out your attention. This sweet poly-toed girl gets along well with other cats and all humans. She’s healthy, house-trained, and up to date on all vaccines.

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.
