My Nonprofit Reviews

The Cat Connection is truly a community of caring people coming together for the health and welfare of cats in need. Their contributions include TNR, an amazing network of foster homes, and a core team always looking to expand the organizations capabilities to help even more.

Every Sunday morning I watch WBZ TV Pet Parade with Kerry Connolly. One morning last December she featured adoptions from the Gifford Cat Shelter and something about the piece caught me. Later that same day, I went to visit and knew that it was an amazing place. I decided for the first time ever to join the volunteer ranks and have been so thankful that I have. The shelter staff, facilities, and my fellow Sunday volunteers are amazing and inspiring. The staff are passionate about the Gifford mission and their care of these lovely animals. It makes me wish I could do more. I look forward to going in every Sunday morning - just after watching WBZ TV Pet Parade - to make things nice for the cats and potential adoptions for the day. It is with mixed feelings each week when I come in to see some faces gone - off to a happy new home and a new face appear looking for their perfect family. I am grateful that such a place like the Gifford Shelter for cats exist.
