Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, and I can think of no better reason to celebrate shelter cats, and especially one shelter that is close to my heart - the Ellen M. Gifford Cat Shelter in Brighton, MA.

Gifford is a true safe haven for cats waiting to find their forever home, and has been doing so for over 130 years. The Gifford cats enjoy plenty of space, sunny windows, and playtime. The dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the cats get the best care possible and a safe environment. Furthermore, they make a special effort to ensure the perfect matchmaking when connecting potential adopters with the cat that is the best fit to them.

I have been volunteering at Gifford for a few years, and as a cat business owner, I am proud to say that Purrmore Cat Care is a supporter of the Gifford Cat Shelter. I can think of no organization that is more worthy of my support - and yours. If you are considering bringing a new cat into your life, please consider a Gifford cat. If you are unable to adopt, consider donating. Your donation will help Gifford continue to provide excellent care as well as medical care until their cats are matched with a loving forever family.
