Alaska Humane Society Start an adoption application

A cats-only shelter in Anchorage operating as Adopt-a-Cat, run largely by volunteers. Because it is volunteer-staffed, public visitation runs on weekday evenings rather than daytime hours, with weekends by appointment. Every cat and kitten goes home for a single flat fee covering shots, spay or neuter and a microchip.
