Shiny is a Sweet, Glossy Girl

Shiny is a petite, beautiful girl with a lovely coat--hence her name.  This one-year-old is a bit shy, but she warms up quickly with gentle attention. She’ll purr and cuddle against you! Shiny is also very good with other cats, so she might make a good companion for your kitty at home. Shiny came to the shelter with her kittens and she was a devoted mom. Now it’s her turn to find a forever home. We think Shiny would do best in a quiet household in which she can blossom into the confident cat she was meant to be. Perhaps you’d like to help make that happen?

 If you are interested in meeting Shiny 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 Shiny 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.
