Adopt Jesse or Marmalade

This week, both Bideawee of Westhampton and the in Hampton Bays have special pets available for adoption.

Bideawee is looking to find a home for Marmalade, while the Southampton Animal Shelter is seeking a home for Jesse.

According to Amy Hraniotis, event manager for Bideawee, Marmalade, a one-year-old Devon Rex mix, came to the shelter when her owner moved and could not take her with her.

"Marmalade had just given birth to a litter of kittens and was in desperate need of constant care, food, shelter and TLC," said Hraniotis. "Bideawee was able to take her and her six kittens in and now, almost two months later, all of her kittens are weaned and will undoubtedly be adopted quickly.  However, mom needs a great home, too."

Hraniotis says Marmalade  is sweet, social, gorgeous and would do great in any home.

The adoption fee for Marmalade is $150; all Bideawee adopters receive a free, one-on-one training session and a free visit at the Westhampton Bideawee Veterinary Practice.  To adopt Marmalade or any other animal, call the Adoption Center at 631-325-0200 or visit them at 118 Old Country Rd, Westhampton.

According to Hraniotis, all of Bideawee’s pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. Bideawee’s pets receive socialization, exercise, behavior training and other daily activities that let our staff get to know each animal's special personality, so that we can make the best match for you.

Over at the Southampton Animal Shelter, Donald Bambrick, animal shelter supervisor, says Jesse is a six-year-old Papillion, who came to the shelter after his  owner was heartbroken to learn that her landlord would not let her keep him.

"He loves people young and old and was in a home with other dogs and cats," said Bambrick.

If Jesse is not the type of pet you are looking for, there are plenty of other animals that need love and care.

All animals are licensed, up to date on their vaccinations, micro-chipped and have been spayed or neutered, according to Bambrick.

Adoption fees range from between $40 and $60 for a cat and $60 and $125 for a dog.

To adopt Jesse or any of the other animals available for adoption, call the shelter at 631-728-7387 or visit 102 Old Riverhead Rd in Hampton Bays.
