Animal Shelter

Gifford Shelter, founded in 1884, is the oldest no-kill, cageless animal shelter in the United States. Located in a home-like setting, the shelter allows cats to roam freely, bask in sunny windows, and enjoy daily interaction and care while they await adoption.

Gifford is committed to providing a safe, loving environment for every cat, regardless of their background, ensuring they have a chance at a brighter future.
