“Buffy has tested positive for Feline Immunodificiency Virus. Because we cannot bring FIV cats into the shelter, he are currently at a local foster home.
Buffy is a DSH - Orange & White, about 7-8 years old, neutered male and an absolute love. He is very affectionate and friendly.
Buffy is such an exceptional cat we would hate to see them euthanized just because they cannot find a home. Cats with FIV can live a long time with no symptoms. They should be placed in homes with no other cats or with other FIV positive cats.

Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program
Standish has a reduced-cost spay/neuter program in which 26 veterinary hospitals participate. We offer reduced-cost sterilization to owners who cannot afford regular veterinary fees. We work with animal control officers to identify residents who need help with sterilization of their pets. Animal control officers give us lists of people in their towns who need assistance spaying and neutering of their pets, and we provide them certificates for this service. Every cat adopted from our shelter is sterilized. We sterilize every animal we can! The financial expense is high- over $40,000 a year- but we are making a difference!
For MORE INFO about our reduced cost spay/neuter program e-mail us or call 781-834-4663 (and choose option “4”)

Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Spay Your Female To: Eliminate the heat cycle; yowling in cats, bloody discharge in dogs. Eliminate complications of pregnancy and delivery. Prevent unwanted litters, only one in 10 puppies and kittens finds a permanent home. Eliminate uterine diseases, ovarian cysts. Reduce the risk of breast cancer, especially if spayed before 2 years of age.
Neuter Your Male To: Reduce urine spraying in cats; reduce urine marking in dogs, reduce strong urine odor in cats. Reduce urge to roam and risk of fights, injury, poisoning or death in traffic. Reduce mounting and aggression. Reduce risk of prostate cancer and infection and perianal hernias. Eliminate testicular tumors.
For Either Sex: Reduce the number of unwanted cats and dogs. Stop mating drive. Reduce risk of injuries and abscesses from fights. Have a calmer, more content, family-oriented healthier pet. Will NOT make a pet fat or lazy. Can be done at any time, but ideal age is 6-8 months.
Population Overload
Our communities are facing an overload of pet animals. Too many dogs and cats are not wanted anywhere. They are treated like disposable items instead of living creatures. Pets are abandoned when owners tire of caring for them. Unwanted litters are left at doorsteps or along roadsides. Every year in the U.S., approximately 8.6 million cats and dogs are euthanized (killed) because lasting, loving homes cannot be found for them.
You can help end this tragedy by making sure your pet doesn’t contribute to the surplus of dogs and cats. Have your pet spayed or neutered by a veterinarian. If you let your pet breed, you may find homes for that litter, But what happens when each of those puppies or kittens has a litter, when each of those litters produces more litters?
Help reduce the pet populations so that each animal gets the care and respect it deserves.
