SMITHTOWN, NY — Adele, a 1-year-old female domestic shorthair, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week.
Adele was found as a stray and brought to the shelter with her litter of newborn kittens, according to the shelter.
"She was a wonderful mother who took excellent care of her babies," the shelter stated. "Now that they are completely weaned, Adele is ready to become a cherished family member where she can find endless joy, love and happiness. In addition to her bewitching beauty, Adele is incredibly charming, playful and a bit of a flirt, if we’re being honest. She is famous around the shelter for serenading those who make her acquaintance, as she is extraordinarily vocal, and it’s absolutely adorable! This little lady is very comfortable in the spotlight and enjoys interacting with her audience. However, the most endearing quality this superstar possesses is her ability to make those around her feel loved, special, and appreciated. This girl has an unlimited supply of love and affection to give one very lucky family."

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.
