This is an excellent shelter dedicated to cats. I recomment to all who şs thinking of becoming a cat parent. They really make sure you are matched perfectly to make the experience perfect for everyone in the household.My second cat was matched perfectly to the difficult cat i already had at home and they have been living in harmony for the past 3 years.

Thank you Gifford for helping me find the perfect new addition to my little family! I was so impressed by the level of care and support I received from Gifford at every step of the foster and adoption process. Gifford’s personalized approach helped me to ensure the safety, health, and happiness of my kitten, my resident cat, and me. I am over the moon and will recommend Gifford to anyone who is looking to adopt.

Still trying to get in to see ANY cats for adoption. They canceled two prior appointments because they didn’t “have any cats to fit my profile.” I was interviewed by a knowledgeable volunteer over the phone almost 2 months ago to learn I was accepted as an adoptive parent. The online appointment process is akin to getting a vaccination back in April. We’ve had cats for 30 years. COVID is no excuse for this controlling and overly drawn out process. I understand the welfare of animals and appreciate a shelter’s mission. But not this is something else.

Have been volunteering here for a year and adopted my first cat recently from here as well. Nice people, nice staff, cute cats, friendly working environment.

Right, Mustapha! And the cats you can't pet...well, we're working on that and making amazing strides with them every day. Ask to see the Room of Pawsibilities!
Good afternoon Ellen, Over last year, there were a little shy of 365 adoptions. Most cats come from Florida, so the amount of cats in the shelter at a given time varies depending on how many cats we receive from the org down south.
The shelter usually has at least a few kittens up for adoption. The numbers fluctuate based on the time of the year (late spring / early summer is peak kitten season). Kittens are often adopted very quickly, so I'd recommend submitting your adoption application before you visit the shelter (even if you don't know which cat you'd like to take home, you'll still want to become an approved adopter ASAP). Most kittens at Gifford are bonded with one of their siblings and are adopted out as a pair.

Thank you for thinking of us! We can accept any cat-related donations except for carpeted cat structures or opened bags of food/treats. We have donation bins outside of our office where donations can be left at any time.
All of our adoption fees can be found on our website, giffordcatshelter.org. Fees vary based on the cat’s age!
