Purrlease ensure you have purrmission to have a cat where you live before considering adoption!

All parties interested must meet Noel before adoption. If you are not living in Anchorage, you must come in to Noel before adoption. This is to ensure that everyone is in agreement with the adoption and that there is a purrfect connection.

“Noel is a petite heirloom lace kind of kitty, with simple needs of being adopted into a forever home with a calm atmosphere where she can receive one-on-attention when she lets this need be known by her mighty meow.
She is a spayed tortoiseshell mix with white paws and a dark coat that is camouflaged throughout with orange. Her age is estimated to be between 10 and 12 years.
Noel’s arrival to the shelter was in mid-December 2022 through our partnership Anchorage Animal Care & Control (AACC). Since then she has acclimated to the other felines and has shown that she can definitely fend for herself if confronted by any disrespecting, mischievous counterparts.
Noel’s preferred niche at the shelter is the first floor Beluga Room where she lounges in a middle cat tree ledge or snuggles into a lower level enclosed cubby to sleep.
According to AACC intake notes, a limp was noticed in Noel’s front legs and x-rays were recommended. Unfortunately during their intake evaluation, she bit a technician when being picked up from her kennel. And although the bite did not break the skin or puncture the gloves, she was deemed not adoptable and a rescue call was made to us.
At AHS she saw our veterinarian on 12/21/23 who diagnosed her with a urinary tract infection (UTI) for which she was treated with antibiotics. After the shelter’s required quarantine period, she was moved to the main floor on 1/9/23. Since then Noel was observed sitting in the litter box or hiding in enclosed areas. This was her way of showing signs of pain, so she went to the vet where she was given a Solensia shot that is being administered for arthritis once a month.
In closing, Noel has had no history of biting anyone at the shelter and enjoys interactions where her frisky side surfaces and she meows in delight. And while initially Noel could be found sitting in the litter box (which may have been due to having had a UTI) she’s now laid claim to two cat tree spaces.” Bio crafted by Volunteer Victoria

*Due to her history, we recommend a quiet adult home that will meet the needs of our purrecious Noel. Noel will also apPURReciate a home without other felines, or ones who will be respectful of her space.*

AHS will also purrovide behavioral support for the transition and more 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. This also applies if the adopter is no longer able to keep the cat or is able to purrovide him/her with the necessary healthcare to maintain a healthy and happy life.

For the first 30 days, cats who do not work out in their new homes may be returned for a refund or exchanged for another, more suitable, cat.
