Applications take 15 to 30 minutes and are reviewed over at least 7 days. The process can include a home visit and a trial adoption period.
Complete the online application, mail in a hard copy, or phone the Info Center. Allow at least seven days for review.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
Most are pulled from Anchorage Animal Care and Control, the municipal shelter, and then placed into adoptive homes by volunteers.
The form itself takes 15 to 30 minutes, but allow at least seven days for review. The process can include a home visit and a trial adoption period.
