Domino's Cat Rescue League aka Domino's House, in Palm City Florida was founded in 2001 when Maris (Rita) and Charlie Sine opened their hearts and their home to rescue, care for, and rehome cats and kittens as a no cage, no kill shelter, sanctuary and adoption center.

Over these past 25 years, Domino's have helped thousands of cats and kittens live their best lives.

Domino's will:

• Rescue strays that can't be returned outside

• Give a home to cats whose owners can no longer keep them

 
• Nurture sick cats

• Provide Momma cats a home so they can have their babies.

• Find forever homes for cats making them and their humans very happy, and offer a home for life to those of our     kitties that for any reason are not/cannot be adopted. We will NEVER put a healthy cat to sleep for any reason.

Charlie and Maris also started a TNR (trapping, neutering, and release) program for stray cats that need to stay in the wild. This program has reduced the overpopulation of strays in Palm City, Stuart, and surrounding areas.
Maris also fed and cared for a colony of cats in Stuart, Florida for 22 years, before bringing the last remaining cats to Domino's in 2025 as they could no longer remain in their colony area safely. Over those 22 years, Maris never missed a day, be it an ordinary week or Christmas, the cats all knew her car and would come running as she pulled up.

In 2021, after a 63-year marriage, Maris lost her beloved husband, Charlie.

He was instrumental to Dominos.

Charlie maintained their home and five cat houses and trimmed the five-acres of grass on the property.

Since Dominos is a no-cage shelter, the cats are free to roam the acreage, lounge in an air-conditioned cat house, or enjoy life in the courtyard, the breezeway or on the catio of their houses.
Losing Charlie was indescribably painful for Maris, but she didn't miss a beat when it came to caring for the 50-100 cats that at any given time call Dominos home and, every night, Maris would walk the property to check on every cat and say good night.

​

Having been diagnosed with cancer in 2024, Maris went through treatment and is now cancer free, she recovered successfully from 2 stroken and is our most fearless leader and an absolute "rockstar" according to her medical team. However a fall led her to break her hip and fracture her spine, and though she recovered extremely well, she does walk with a cane and due to the uneven terrain on the property, she has passed the task of "tucking the cats in" to her daughter and VP of Domino's, Debbie, and the small but wonderful staff, who will do the rounds each and every night before closing up. Every cat will be accounted for, treats will be given and gates will be closed.
