Sanctuary Cats (Not Available for Adoption)

The Alaska Humane Society has a unique short term program to help keep cats and their families together. The Sanctuary Program time frames vary, but it is for longer periods of time, not a few days. Generally, it is 2-3 weeks up to 4 months or so. Each situation varies, however, cats have come in due to owner’s hospitalization (surgery/illness requiring a couple of weeks or so stay), people going out of state for medical treatment, or to tend to an ill relative, unexpected loss of home (fire, flood damage), etc. The understanding is that the family is in crisis and needs a safe haven for their personal pet. The Alaska Humane Society does its best to accommodate, and openings depend on the availability of space at the shelter.

Please contact the shelter at 344-8808 and ask to speak with Tina to make arrangements as needed prior to bringing in your cat.
