Beau is a very special and gentle tom. He was abandoned in the yard next to our shelter and did not trust humans. He was live-trapped and then his rehabilitation began. Beau was very fearful in the beginning and did not know who he could trust. Over time our volunteers helped him to see that he could accept love and relax while in the presence of people. Beau continues to blossom and trust and is the sweetest baby boy. He loves to get cuddles, frolic with the peacock feather and will take treats ever so gently from your hand. Beau does well with other cats who are gentle and non-confrontational. He retreats when another cat attempts to start something he doesn’t feel is fun. With a patient, loving home we know that Beau will only continue to bloom.

Beau has some chin irritation that we are getting assessed by our fab vet.

Our adoption policies and procedures are rigorous and thoughtful as our goal is to match you with a cat who will become a loving addition to your home for the rest of his/her wonderful life.

Seeing photos and videos are great first steps, however, meeting the cat in person and seeing if you connect is critically important. You may even want to visit the cat a few times to ensure you have made that connection.

If you are interested in adopting one of our cats, you will need to complete our adoption application and have that approved prior to placement. Submitting an adoption application does not guarantee placement.

We do not do same day adoptions.

Please ensure you have permission to have a cat where you live before considering adoption! We will need to see a copy of your lease agreement along with a contact number for your landlord to ensure the adoption is allowed.

All parties interested must meet the cat before adoption to ensure that everyone is in agreement with the adoption. If you do not live in Anchorage, you must come in to meet him/her before the adoption and make arrangements to transport him/her to your home.

AHS will provide behavioral support for the transition and throughout the adoption to ensure that everyone feels secure with the adoption.

Our adoption agreement prohibits declawing an adopted cat, and stipulates that the cat will be returned to us if the adoption does not work out. We also ask that cats be returned to us regardless of when the cat was adopted if the adoptive home is no longer able to keep the cat or is unable to provide him/her with the necessary healthcare to maintain a healthy and happy life.

AHS has an indoor cat policy. We strongly support the utilization of cat harnesses and catios as these are positive ways of giving your cat the chance to explore, get some fresh air and provide him/her with the benefits of the natural world while keeping them and wildlife safe and sound.
