Add a Gifford Cat to Your Family
Getting Started
We have many wonderful cats available for adoption at Gifford Cat Shelter. You are sure to find a cat who will fit your lifestyle and personality!
The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption form on our website. It's free to complete and non-binding. From there, we will review your application, make any applicable reference calls, and get in touch with you if we have any additional questions. The process is speedy, typically taking only a couple of days. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate same day applications.
Visiting Us
Once your profile is complete and your application is approved, you will be added to our approved adopter list. As cats come into our care, we match them against the needs and interests of approved adopters and, when there is a possible match, invite potential adopters to come meet them. How long this takes depends on a variety of factors, including the length of the approved adopter list, what you are looking for in a cat, and what cats we have in care.
Many of the cats below have already been matched to approved adopters, but if your application has been approved and you see a cat on our website that you think might be a good fit for you, please feel free to email us about them!
Your application must be complete and approved before we start matching cats to you.
We will invite you to visit us when we have a possible match in care.
