Shelter Pet of the Week: Maya
MEET THE MAGNIFICENT MAYA!
This week’s featured shelter pet is Maya, a lovable domestic short-haired beauty available for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter.
Approximately four years old with a striking brown and tabby coat, Maya came to the shelter from a home with many other cats, and while her journey hasn’t been the easiest, this resilient little lady is ready to find the forever family she deserves—one that will show her the safety, care, and affection she’s always longed for.
Though she may seem a bit shy at first, patience is the key to unlocking her affectionate and playful personality. Maya loves a good scratch behind the ears, a warm snuggle, and sometimes a little solo time to recharge. She’s sweet, she’s sassy, and she’s sure to bring joy, laughter, and comfort to the lucky home that welcomes her in.
Maya is a great match for most households, including those with other cats, older children, and possibly well-mannered dogs. She has a mild neurological condition, likely Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which affects her coordination and balance—but don’t let that fool you! It’s not painful, not contagious, and certainly doesn’t stop Maya from living her life to the fullest.
Come meet Maya at the Smithtown Animal Shelter and discover just how wonderful life can be with a little more purr-sonality in it! Interested potential families for the magnificent Maya must first fill-out an application to schedule a time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.
