Sampson Would Like to Follow You Home

Sampson is a one-year-old kitty who is very people oriented. He was found as a stray by actually following his rescuer home! Here at the shelter, he's known for falling asleep, belly up, on the laps of our volunteers. Sampson loves looking out windows and eagerly awaits visits from volunteers and staff. We think Sampson must be part Maine Coon, especially because of his big bushy tail. Sampson would love a home in which he gets lots of lap time, Maybe yours?

If you are interested in meeting Sampson 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 Sampson 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.
