ADOPTED Maggie, a brown tabby, and her feline housemate, Tari, found themselves in a desperate situation after the death of their owner. They were taken in by experienced, caring fosters, and then Maggie was adopted by one of our amazing shelter volunteers.
Tari, white/gr, was adopted by her fosters. She has been accepted by all her four-legged housemates. We want to thank our longtime, dedicated volunteers for stepping up to help rescue and rehome these resilient girls.
Tory, gray, was adopted by a woman looking for an all-gray cat. Tory, still a little shy, responded by purring while she was being petted. Her adopter knows she needs time and patience to blossom.
Spike, black, was adopted by a couple who loved his high-spirited energy. Spike showed off every aspect of his personality, and it was exactly what they were looking for. They did not want to meet anyone else.
Weaver, buff/wh, was chosen by a couple with lots of cat knowledge and experience. Weaver came to us shy but gained confidence through the positive interactions with all the volunteers at the shelter.
Percy, female tortie, went home with a woman looking for a friend for her resident cat, who was feeling the loss of its longtime feline companion. The adopter met a few cats but knew immediately that Percy was the one after meeting her. Percy is now Jackie O. She is settling in nicely in her small space. and is so relaxed and happy.
Lennox, black and white male, was adopted by a retired couple with lots of cat experience. Lennox is a cuddly lap cat who enjoyed every moment of their attention. He is a lucky boy to have found this wonderful home.
Kittens continue to be adopted out of our wonderful foster homes.
CONGRATULATIONS to all these great cats and their new families!

ADOPTED Meet Mango, a sweet orange kitten whose story had a happy turn! He was found outside on his own in Duxbury and came to us from another rescue. Once in foster care, he settled right in with the other kittens and hasn’t stopped playing since. Mango loves a good wrestling match, toys and chasing the laser pointer, and when he’s worn himself out, he’ll curl up in your lap with a big, rumbling purr. He also grew up with a dog, so he could be a great fit for a home with a cat-friendly pup.

Choya is a playful kitten with a confident, independent streak! He came to us from another rescue and has been having a blast in foster care, wrestling with other kittens, chasing string toys and pouncing on the laser pointer. He also grew up with a dog, so he could be a great fit for a home with a cat-friendly pup.

ADOPTED Tari is an 8-year-old black-and-white girl who loves nothing more than rubbing up against you to say hello. After her beloved owner passed away, Tari spent time living alone in the house, with visitors stopping by two to three times a day to care for her. We’re happy to share that she’s now safe and settled in a foster home while she waits for her new family.

Tari has only one eye, but she was already a one-eyed girl when she was first adopted, and it has never slowed her down. She’s a bit on the chubby side, so she’s looking for an adopter who can help her manage her weight with healthy meals and some gentle play.

Bing B**g is a playful gray kitten with a big purr and an even bigger personality! This fun-loving boy came to us from another rescue, and he’s been keeping his foster home entertained ever since. Bing B**g loves to wrestle with other kittens, chase string toys and pounce on the laser pointer, but when playtime is over, he’s happy to curl up in your lap for a nap. He also grew up with a dog, so he could be a great fit for a home with a cat-friendly pup. Please fill out an application at https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/12359/generic

HOME TO HOME PLACEMENT: Mabel is a sweet, gentle soul looking for a calm and loving home where she can truly relax and be cherished. She has a kind, affectionate personality and loves quiet companionship. Once she bonds with someone, she becomes deeply loving — offering soft head bumps, cozy cuddles, and curling up on your lap when she’s in the mood.

Mabel enjoys peaceful days spent looking out the window, lounging nearby, and simply being close to her person. She has a very gentle temperament and never hisses. She especially seems to connect well with older adults and people who appreciate a calm, quiet companion.

She has lived successfully with one other cat and tolerates nail trims surprisingly well. Mabel would do best in a calm, quiet home without young children. She has had difficulty adjusting to the activity and changes that come with a busy household and seems happiest in peaceful environments where she can feel secure and relaxed.

She truly deserves a patient, caring home that will appreciate her tender heart and gentle nature.

Happy National Cat Day from all of us at Standish! 🐾

These are just a few of the faces in our care right now. Every one of them came to us needing a soft place to land, and our volunteers and fosters have been there for each of them every step of the way.

As a volunteer-run nonprofit, we rely on our community to keep that care going. If you’d like to celebrate today, a gift of any size helps cover food, medical care and everything these cats need while they wait for their families. ❤️

Thank you
