How to Adopt

We are a foster-home based rescue; that is, all our cats live in foster homes with families Jack and familyand not in cages. That way, we learn more about the cat’s personality to help find a home where he or she will be happy and the adopters will be happy.

Cats can be adopted directly from the foster home. Cats can also be adopted from one of our adoption fairs either in Anchorage or Wasilla. We have adoption fairs  in Anchorage at Petzoo on Dimond, Petsmart on Dimond, Petco on Old Seward as scheduled. We also have adoption events at Petco in Soldotna.

Adopting is simple. 
First step is to find the cat that is right for your family.  You might meet one at an adoption event or see one on our facebook page or on this website on the ‘Ready To Adopt’ page. Most of our cats are listed there. Read the profiles of their personalities to get an idea of who might be a good fit. You can select some that interest you and call us to ask about those in particular, or you can call and ask for help finding a good fit for your family. Call Judy at 980-8898. We’re happy to help you make a good choice.

You may also fill out our Adoption Application to get things rolling. See below (This is NOT the adoption contract.  If you have been approved to adopt, please fill out the Online Adoption Agreement in the next section.)

Once it’s decided who you’d like to meet, you will be given the name and number of the foster family to call. You can talk to them more about the cat and set up a time to meet the cat. You can arrange a visit at the foster home or at one of our adoption fairs.

To adopt, you must be at least 18 years of age, have a stable home situation, and choose a cat that fits into your family.  After you have talked to us and been approved to adopt, please fill out the Online Adoption Agreement below.

We will need  pictures of your home inside as well as the outside area to satisfy our home check requirements. And the adoption fee must be paid before the cat is picked up.

When coming to adopt a cat, please bring a cat carrier to safely take your new loved one home in.
