Two year old tabby Isle will claim your lap the moment you sit down! Isle would prefer a quieter home with a cat-savvy adopter and no small children. She may do best as an only pet. She craves attention on her own terms, and can be a little swatty sometimes. Apply to adopt Isle at https://www.ipswichhumanegroup.org/cat-adoption-application.html . Please fill in all fields before submitting in order to receive confirmation that the form has been successfully sent. Email us at [email protected] to let us know you have applied. Visit all our available pets during our weekly open house on Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 at the Ipswich Animal Shelter at 17 Fowlers Lane. MDAR License #0237

Kathryn and Peter adopted Gus a year ago. Gus was a surrender to Ipswich Humane.
His family loved him and unfortunately he grew to be too much for them.

We were asked to find the perfect home for him and we sure did! Gus was so well loved and had a year of adventure and shenanigans!!!

Sadly he had a medical issue and passed away quietly and comfortably💔

Today I received a beautiful card and memorial card from Kathryn and Peter. They also made a donation in his name to Ipswich Humane. They thanked us for allowing them to adopt him but we thank THEM for being such a wonderful home for him🩵
