Adopt a Domestic Short Hair in Alaska

Domestic Short Hair cats — the most common cat in rescue — are mixed-heritage cats with short coats, varied colors, and personalities ranging from cuddly to independent. Their genetic diversity tends to make them robust and long-lived. A rescued DSH fits almost any household.

Alaska has a smaller rescue cat population than most states, concentrated in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Indoor adoption is essential given the harsh winters, and rescues focus on socializing cats for cozy indoor homes.
