Meet Frankie and Cat: The Inseparable Duo Seeking a Loving Home

At the Smithtown Animal Shelter, this week’s spotlight shines brightly on two extraordinary senior cats: Frankenstein and Catapotumous, fondly known as Frankie and Cat. These lovely ladies are not just any cats; they share a bond that is as deep as their years, and now they’re on a quest to find a forever home.

A Life of Love, Together

Frankie, a graceful 17-year-old grey and white domestic shorthair, embodies warmth. Her affectionate nature makes her an ideal companion for older children, other feline friends, and even calm dogs. Imagine her snuggling beside you during a cozy evening in, or gently purring while basking in the sun’s rays on a lazy afternoon — a dream come true for any animal lover.

Then there’s Catapotumous, a playful yet gentle 13-year-old brown and white tabby. Her ready-to-love attitude and playful spirit promise laughter, cuddles, and countless cherished memories. Together, Frankie and Cat are more than just pets; they’re a source of double the purring, double the affection, and endless companionship.

The Journey to the Shelter

These two best friends arrived at the Smithtown Animal Shelter when their previous owner was unable to care for them. It’s a bittersweet reality that many pets face, and the shelter is committed to ensuring that Frankie and Cat find a loving family that will respect and nurture their extraordinary bond.

A Safe Haven for Their Health

The Smithtown Animal Shelter takes pride in its comprehensive care for all animals. Frankie and Cat are up-to-date on vaccinations and have undergone thorough vet examinations, including blood work and tests for Feline HIV and Leukemia. This emphasizes the shelter’s commitment to the health and well-being of every animal under their care.

Fostering: A Temporary But Impactful Solution

If you’re not ready for the lifetime commitment of pet adoption, the shelter offers a remarkable opportunity for community members: fostering. This allows individuals to provide temporary homes for cats and dogs, which could range from just two weeks to longer terms. Fostering not only saves lives but also helps shelters assess animals’ personalities and needs, ensuring a perfect match whenever an adoption takes place.
