Ketchikan, AK
An all-volunteer organization with no paid staff and no shelter building. It works to reduce local euthanasia rates, improve community education, and give abused and abandoned animals a second chance, largely by promoting local shelter animals through social media.
$25 for cats already spayed or neutered, $50 for cats altered by the shelter. (Dog fees differ: $50 pre-altered, $150 altered by the shelter.)
The society promotes cats and dogs housed at the local shelter rather than running its own adoptions. Contact them at 907-821-0274 or ktnhumanesociety@yahoo.com to be pointed to the right animal.
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.
