Bert is a dignified gentleman who likes to lounge on comfy beds. But Bert, who is about 5 years old, also has a fun, playful side. His current favorite pastimes include chasing crinkle balls and killing toy mice. And Bert goes crazy over catnip chile peppers! He appreciates gentle head scratches and when he gets a back scratch, he makes a cute little chirping sound. Bert also excels in taking naps. Please note that Bert has tested positive for FIV. FIV is NOT a highly contagious disease but it is transmitted through deep bite wounds from cat to cat.

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.
