My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pookie knows what it's like to have a home! Adopted as a kitten in early 2010, it seemed that Pookie would spend his life with the comfort and love of a family. Sadly, when his behavior began to change, so did his living status, and little more than a year later, Pookie found himself back in our care. After a thorough medical examination the cause of Pookie's behavioral change became painfully obvious - the poor boy had lots of crystals in his urine! The discomfort he experienced would have been enough to make anyone a little grumpy! Pookie is now on a special diet to prevent a recurrence of the crystals, which may make it harder for him to find a home, but he is pain free and back to his normal cuddly self! Give Pookie the comfort of a home once more, and adopt or foster him today!

More about this rescue

Who We Are & What We Do

Little Shelter is a nonprofit animal rescue organization. We take abused and abandoned animals from the streets and from those awaiting death at the municipal pounds. We provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for these animals while they are waiting for loving adoptive homes.

All prospective homes are carefully screened to ensure happy endings. No animal is ever destroyed at Little Shelter unless he or she is incurably ill.

Spaying and neutering is important to our cause. We spay and neuter all of our animals as soon as is medically possible. The minimal adoption donation paid upon adoption includes all the medical procedures that we have done on the animal being adopted, including the spaying and neutering.

Little Shelter is situated on six acres in Huntington, Long Island, 30 minutes east of New York City. Our Sheltervale Pet Cemetery operates on three acres. There are six buildings, two kennels including outdoor runs, one large communal cattery with individual rooms for nursing mothers, an isolation and medical building and a five room house that serves as office and administrative space. At any given time, we are the temporary home to more than 300 animals.

Last year we placed over 600 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies into loving homes. With your help we will save even more this year.
