Commack PetsmartTucked away in the Commack Petsmart is a fantastic mini adoption center for 5-6 of our cats at any given time. The glass fronted cages face out into the store, and from behind open into our playroom where you will spend your volunteer shift. Shift tasks include tidying up after the cats, playtime, and encouraging visitors to come in and meet the cats.
