'Magical Duo' Hocus And Pocus: Smithtown Adoptable Pets Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Hocus and Pocus, 2-year-old domestic short-haired sisters, are the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pets of the Week.

They have white boots/socks, vests and tabby coats.

"This magical duo have nearly identical bewitching good looks that match their enchanting personalities," the shelter wrote. "The pair was previously adopted together from the shelter as kittens, where they lived in a home with another cat, a large dog and small child. Hocus and Pocus got along splendidly with all their family members. In a heartbreaking turn of events, the child developed an allergy to cats, resulting in Hocus and Pocus's surrender to the shelter."

Hocus and Pocus can captivate any audience with their "endearing charm and purrfect disposition," the shelter stated.

"Aside from being absolutely gorgeous, these two are incredibly sweet, social and affectionate. Expect a double dose of purring, lap naps and snuggles while in the company of these fabulous fur babies. These sisters will entertain themselves for hours with a supply of kitty toys, providing one lucky family with an unlimited amount of laughter and amusement. Hocus and Pocus would thrive in most homes, including a family with other pets and children. They are sisters that have never been separated and would do best if adopted together."

There are currently a variety of male and female cats and 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.

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.

Hours are currently Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays and Wednesday evenings are by appointment only.

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.
