Cookie and Tofu

Cookie and Tofu began their transition to our Main Floor. They are hanging out in one of our cool kitty condos adjusting to their new surroundings! They are doing wonderfully and are ready to connect with you!!<br/>Can't.Take.The.Cuteness<br/><br/>Are you looking for a darling duo of adorableness? Cookie and Tofu are a very handsome bonded pair of sweetness who are seeking a purrever home together. Cookie is a Scottish Straight and Tofu is a Scottish Fold. They came from a home with older children and a pup that they did well with. Cookie is the more confident of the pair, however Tofu has really come out of his shell since being with us. Cookie loves to greet you with his purrecious meow and share about the goings on of his day. Tofu can be initially shy, however he is very affectionate, playful and delightfully sweet. Both boys are very playful and boy you whip out the peacock feather and they are ready and raring to dance the night away.<br/>Cookie and Tofu are truly bonded and they will need to be adopted together once they have been cleared by our vet team (that is happening this week!). If you are interested in meeting them please reach out to us at either our adoption email address ahscatshelter@gmail.com or text us at 907-230-6394 to set up a time to meet them!<br/>They are purrfect! <br/>Both boys are already neutered, their labs came back spiffy and they are ready to choose their purrfect home! <br/>Cookie DOB: 03/30/2024<br/>Tofu DOB: 08/29/2024<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/> We do not do same day adoptions.<br/><br/>If the cat is in a foster home, the application must be completed, submitted and approved prior to any visit.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting one of our shy cats, you will need to be accompanied by one of our Cat Behavior Expurrts to meet him or her. We strongly encourage multiple visits to help build trust and a positive relationship. After you meet him or her and feel he/she is a good match, everyone who is in the home will need to have another visit with our Adoption and Care Coordinator to see the interaction. Once we see that you are a purrfect match, then the adoption application can be completed and our processing team will get to work. Our Care Coordinator will counsel you on how to set up your home to meet the needs of your new addition. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>AHS will provide behavioral support for the transition and throughout the adoption to ensure that everyone feels secure with the adoption. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>These steps have been implemented to ensure the placement is the best one possible to meet the needs of the cat and the new home. <br/><br/>Our Adoption Application is available to complete online or download. If you download the application please email the completed one to ahscatshelter@gmail.com<br/><br/>Once You've Made That Purrfect Connection, Here are Some Factors to Consider<br/><br/>Do you rent? If you do, do you have Landlord approval and documentation to verify that you are allowed to have a cat? Is there a clause about declawing in the lease? We do not allow declawing.<br/><br/>Is your home ready for a new arrival? Do you need support with getting that together?<br/><br/>Does everyone in the home agree to the adoption and has everyone met the cat? (This is one of our policies)<br/><br/>Are you aware of the municipal code, Title 17, that requires a multi-animal license when you own 4 or more of the same species in the Municipality of Anchorage?<br/><br/>Do you have a carrier to transport your cat? <br/><br/>Once your application is approved, then you have two options:<br/>1. Set up an adoption appointment on the weekend by texting at 907-230-6394 or emailing ahscatshelter@gmail.com.<br/><br/>2. Reserve the cat and put down a deposit ($25 minimum towards the $130 adoption fee) and set up a time with a volunteer to schedule pickup.<br/><br/>Suggested Supplies<br/>* Food/Water dishes (Our cats eat IAMS Proactive Health Chicken Kibble and <br/> Friskies Canned Food).<br/>* Uncovered Litter Box/Litter (we recommend non-clay clumping litters)<br/> Scratching Posts/Cat Trees<br/>* Feliway (cat pheromone that assists with stress and behaviors)<br/>* Cat Beds/Hidey Spot/Cube/Kennel <br/>* Cat Trees/Perches<br/>* Music (Through a Cat’s Ear is highly recommended: www.icalmpet.com)<br/>* Enrichment Toys (you’ll receive an enrichment brochure with some suggestions)<br/>* Cat DVDs<br/>* Collar/harness/ID tag<br/>* Carrier (we recommend a larger sized hard sided carrier when picking up your <br/> cat from the shelter). Soft sided carriers are great for when your cat is more <br/> comfortable in your home.
