"Gifford is the best cat shelter to volunteer at in Boston/Brighton! They’re the cleanest cat shelter I’ve ever seen and the staff are incredibly welcoming. Even though I had no experience with cats, the Gifford staff taught me how to take care, clean up after, and play with the cats. I try to volunteer once — if not twice or three times — a week because it’s such a fun environment!" -Tiffany, Gifford Volunteer
