Mary Lou is enrolled in Gifford's Socialization Program for Shy and Fearful cats, designed to help give our undersocialized cats a chance at a permanent family and home.

From her current caretaker:
Heather loves company, but there's a price to pay. The price is forever love. An experienced adopter is her wish, because she is nervous with strangers.

Brahms, domestic shorthair
Brahms is a handsome male domestic shorthair cat being cared for at Ellen M. Gifford Sheltering Home.
He is neutered and vaccinated.
His current caretakers say:
Brahms probably won't continue composing concertos, as they are not an efficient use of his time. He likes to watch us closely, following our every move. Behind his eyes, an intelligence burns bright and his IQ is in the genius range. Our boy needs an experienced adopter, as he still has some trust issues.
