'Captivating' Cadbury The Rabbit: Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Cadbury, a domestic male rabbit, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week.

He is fluffy, all white and healthy, according to the shelter. He was brought in as a stray.

"Animal experts initially believed there was a possibility someone would come looking for him, but no one did," the shelter wrote. "Cadbury's captivating personality suits his majestic good looks. He is very inquisitive and boasts a natural sense of adventure. While Cadbury is cautiously beginning to make new furry friends at the shelter, he will instantly befriend anyone willing to share a sweet treat with him. He’s all personality!"

Cadbury would thrive in a home that can provide space for him to run and exercise, according to the shelter. Small cages are not recommended, especially for a boy his size.

"Let’s help Cadbury begin his greatest adventure yet and find a forever home where he will be idolized as a cherished member of one lucky family," the shelter wrote.

The shelter did not list an age for Cadbury.

The Smithtown Animal Shelter is set up to accommodate dogs and cats exclusively. Only one exotic pet is able to be assisted at a time.

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.
