(607NewsNow) — Our pets of the week start with Smokey (Top L) and Midnight (Top R) from CNY Snap.

Smokey and Midnight are brothers who are bonded together and are both approximately 1 year old. Smokey is very playful, loves his toys, and often wrestles his brother who puts up with his antics. Midnight is very cuddly and also loves to play, sometimes letting his brother win when they wrestle. Both cats are very sweet and affectionate, loving to be pet and picked up once they know they can trust you. They have been neutered, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and are microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Next, we have Yennefer (Bottom L) and Millie (Bottom R) from the Cortland County SPCA. Yennefer is 4.5 years old and is a sweet, playful girl despite having a rough go of it early on. She is affectionate and well-mannered and would prefer a home without other dogs so she can be the center of attention. Yennefer will make a loyal and loving companion for the person that chooses her.

Millie is only 7 months old but already has a big personality. She’s always ready to play, explore, go on a hike, you name it. She is eager and willing to learn as she still needs some basic training due to her young age. A sweet and smart dog, she’ll get the basics down in no time and will make a great companion.
