Ellen M. Gifford Cat Shelter

We are the nation's oldest free-roam, no-kill shelter. Our goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for homeless pets until they are adopted. Our motto is "Their Home Until They're Home"

The first step in our adoption process is to fill out our free, non-binding adoption questionnaire (617) 427-2210. Adopters sign a contract that specifies taking good care of their cat. Adoption fees are: $225 for kittens, $200 for adults, and $150 for seniors.
