Shelter Pet of the Week: Bella
This week’s featured shelter pet is Bella, a 5 to 6-year-old female domestic shorthair up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter.
Sweet Bella has a sad story. She was abandoned in a duct-taped garbage pail in a parking lot. To make matters worse, she was suffering from pyometra (an infection of the uterus). Terrified and distrusting, she took some time to warm up to us, but when she did the snuggles became very real. She is shy at first, so she would do best in a quiet home.
If you would like to meet Bella, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.
The Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown. Visitor hours are currently Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings by appointment only). For more information, call 631-360-7575 or visit www.smithtownanimalshelter.com.
