Meliha is a Sweetie With Lots of Love & Kisses Give

Meliha is a sweetheart of a kitty who loves to give kisses! This petite, affectionate  gal was found on the street as a stray, but that is clearly not the life she wanted. Meliha, who is about one-year-old, loves to be around people.  At first glance she might seem a little shy, but she quickly comes out of her cubby bed to greet visitors and to ask for attention.  When you talk to her and pet her, Meliha will make biscuits with her paws. How cute is that? To top it off, she has a band of white fur around her waist that looks like she is wearing a belt. This sweet girl will be a wonderful addition to someone's life--perhaps yours?

 If you are interested in meeting Meliha or any of the cats at The Ellen M. Gifford Cat Shelter, visit our website (www.giffordcatshelter.org). While you’re there, you can fill out an online adoption application for Meliha and learn more about our shelter. You can also call us at 617-787-8872. We are the oldest cageless no-kill cat shelter in the country, and we’re located right here in Brighton!

The mission of Gifford Cat Shelter is to provide a safe haven for abandoned, stray, abused, neglected, unwanted and injured cats with the goal of re-homing and ending the needless killing of community and companion cats. It was the first cageless shelter in the country and has been in existence since 1884.
