Root Beer's Sweet & Mellow!

Root Beer is a sweet young cat who loves gentle attention.  After a few cheek scratches, she will roll on her back to ask for belly rubs! She also loves to go nose to nose with people. Root Beer, who is about one-year-old, is a docile cat who is content to hang out quietly with you. We also think Root Beer would be fine with children who understand how to interact respectfully with a cat. Root Beer would make a loving companion in any home. Maybe yours? :)

 If you are interested in meeting Root Beer 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 Root Beer 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.
