Every cat is spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before adoption. The rescue is firmly opposed to declawing and will not adopt to anyone who plans to declaw. Fees can flex for lower-income families.
Cats can be adopted straight from their foster home, or met at one of the scheduled adoption fairs in Anchorage, Soldotna or Wasilla.
