Our Pet of the Week: Can You Give Shy Jonesy the Home He Deserves?

In the heart of Amityville, a quiet soul is waiting for a second chance, and he’s our featured pet of the week.

His name is Jonesy, a sleek, two-to-four-year-old black cat with striking yellow eyes and a story that needs a happy ending.

His journey began with hardship.

Jonesy was one of many cats rescued during a Sheriff's eviction, arriving at the Babylon Animal Shelter scared and overwhelmed.

After months of dedicated care, he is now healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

But what he needs now is something the shelter can't provide: a peaceful home.

This is not a cat for just any household.

He needs an experienced and patient person who understands that trust isn't given freely, especially after trauma.

His past has left him shy and in need of a quiet space to finally feel safe.

Whether you can work with him gently or simply offer him an independent life free from stress, you could be his hero.

The dedicated team at the Town of Babylon shelter is ready to introduce you.

Adoption is open to anyone over 18, and you don't need to be a local resident to give a pet a home.

This is a chance to truly save a life right here on Long Island.

Taking on a rescue cat like Jonesy is a profound commitment, but the reward of earning his quiet affection is immeasurable.
