Shelter Pet of the Week: Candyland

MEET CANDYLAND!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Candyland, currently up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter. This sweet little lady is just 6 months old. Candy was trapped as part of the shelter’s TNR program with the rest of her litter (all named after boardgames). The others have all since gone on to be adopted, but poor Candy is still waiting for the purrfect home.  

This black beauty has some vision impairment; she can see movement and shadows in good lighting, but is very limited in poor lighting and with fine detail. This makes her very untrusting of other animals and young children because they move erratically or sneak up on her. 

She is very playful and affectionate and would love a quiet, adult only home where she can be the only pet or live with pets that will not bother with her. Candy has tons of love to give and she loves to get attention.

If you would like to meet Candyland, 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 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.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com.
