Carly is a Shy Little Sweetheart

Each week the Gifford Cat Shelter features one of their resident cats ready for adoption.

Carly is a 4-year old female, who is very sweet, but also very shy. She really loves attention and petting, but you need to spend some time with her so she can get to know and trust you. She will reward your patience with unconditional love! She has a great purr and will even let you rub her belly when she is comfortable with you. She's a sweetheart just waiting for a quiet, low-key forever home!

If you are interested in meeting Carly 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 Carly and learn more about our shelter. You can also call us at 617-787-8872.

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, no-kill shelter in the country and has been in existence since 1884.
