My story

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

Hey, super-star mom Rita here. I was left outside to my own devices, unspayed, and I had litter after litter. But I hung in there and took care of my babies the best that I could. It’s been cold out there! Thankfully, I crossed paths with Standish, and they took me and my two surviving kittens in. They have moved on in their wonderful journey. I am now looking for a quiet house with no other animals that will spoil me rotten and take care of me. I realize that might sound selfish, but I’m tired and want to relax. Speaking of relaxing, I can be a bit shy at first because I’m still learning to trust to humans. I have come a long way though! I found out I like to play, and I love face pats and they make me purr and do air biscuits. I will need you to be a little patient while I continue on my own journey. And have you seen my coat? I’m a gorgeous buff tortoiseshell girl around 2-3 years old. If you’ve been looking for that solo cat, look no further. I’m your girl! Please fill out an adoption application on Standish’s webpage. Thanks for listening to my story.

More about this shelter

Standish Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization dedicated to assisting our local community with low cost spay and neuters to reduce the overpopulation of felines on the South Shore of MA. We actively trap, neuter, feed and assess feral community cat colonies to further reduce the overpopulation and suffering of outdoor kitties. We rehome adoptable cats and kittens to safe loving forever homes and whenever possible we transport cats and kittens from high kill shelters to areas within our own geography looking for pets. We promise to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome adoptable felines. We hope to ensure healthy domesticated pets and community cats through both education and affordable spay and neuter services, and inspire a community in which all felines, feral and friendly are understood and cared for.
