Shelter Animal of the Week: Meet Groucho

The beautiful domestic long-haired cat is not a typical sight in a shelter, as short-haired breeds most commonly fill these facilities—especially ones with dark coloring. This makes Groucho, a resident of , all the more unique.    

Groucho is a neutered domestic long hair with black and white fur and markings that make it appear that he has a short black mustache like his namesake, the famous comedian Groucho Marx, and maybe even a little goatee too. He's only 10 months old, so he has plenty of years ahead of him to spend with you. Friendly and curious, Groucho will enjoy a home where he can investigate and befriend the human companions who he warms up to quickly.

Groucho gets along well with other cats, so he would be a fine addition to a home with another feline friend.

If you are interested in Groucho or would like to inquire about other cats at Smithtown Animal Shelter who are waiting for a forever home, call 631-360-7575, or come by and visit in person at 410 E. Main Street in Smithtown.
