Introducing Maya, a lovable domestic 4-year-old beauty with a striking brown and tabby coat. Maya comes from a home with many other cats, and while her journey hasn’t been the easiest, this resilient little lady is ready to be adopted and 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.
If you are interested in meeting Maya, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting. For more information regarding our rescue animals available for adoption visit TownofSmithtownAnimalShelter.com.

Meeps is a gentle, curious, and affectionate companion who adores both humans and fellow cats — but he kindly requests a dog-free household. If you’ve got a cat at home, Meeps will be their new best friend!
