Standish Humane Society is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization founded in 1969 dedicated to the care of homeless and needy animals in southeastern Massachusetts. We operate a no-kill shelter and adoption center for cats in Duxbury, MA and a reduced-cost Spay and Neuter Program for dogs and cats. We adopt out an average of 345 cats and kittens annually. Standish Humane is dependent on charitable donations to accomplish our missions.

WINTER PET SAFETY TIP
We love our pets. Please keep them warm and safe inside, especially during these frigid conditions.
Outdoor or stray cats might seek warm shelter in your car's engine compartment or on tires. Be sure to tap on the hood to alert the cat to move out.
We could not do what we do without the support of generous donors.
