Shelter FAQs

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.
