'Most Affectionate And Charming' Lil Bruno: Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Lil Bruno, a male kitten around 2 years old, is the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pet of the Week.

Lil Bruno was originally adopted from the Smithtown Animal Shelter as a kitten but was returned when his family fell on hard times, according to the shelter.

"He is a quiet and laid-back guy that prefers a calming environment," the shelter wrote. "Once he gets acquainted with his surroundings, he becomes the world's most affectionate and charming little man. This poor boy was a little shell shocked, when he had to return to the shelter. While we are doing everything to make him feel loved, Lil Bruno’s hoping January 2024 will be the month he meets a hero to permanently rescue him into the purr-fect furrever home."

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.

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.
