This Saturday, the [url=http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/MA44.html/] Ellen M. Gifford Sheltering Home[/url], the sole no-kill cat shelter in the Allston/Brighton area, is holding a yard/craft/bake-sale to raise funds from 9 AM to 3 PM.
This shelter is truly deserving of your support, as it serves as a safe-haven for cats in need of homes and never resorts to euthanasia (translation: up to 20 years of kitty litter, cat chow, and vet bills per cat!) There will be a raffle for gift certificates to local businesses; handmade jewelry, baked goods, crafts, and plants for sale. Not to mention all of the wonderful kitties looking for good homes.... The shelter is located at 30 Undine Road, off of Lake Street in Brighton. Lake Street is off Commonwealth Ave., just by Boston College (the last stop) on the B-Line.
