We take time to make the right match. No same-day adoptions — just thoughtful, lasting connections.
Explore profiles for all available cats. Each cat has photos, a biography, and their compatibility information.
Schedule a visit — Mon–Fri 7–9 PM or weekends by appointment. Meet your potential new family member in person.
Complete the online adoption application. If renting, include proof that cats are permitted.
Our adoption team reviews all applications and may contact references. We match cats with the right homes, not the fastest.
Once approved, schedule your pickup. Adoption fee is $130. A $25 deposit can hold an approved cat.
AHS runs an open-concept shelter where cats can roam freely, choose their own comfortable spaces, and live as naturally as possible while they wait for their forever home.
AHS runs entirely on volunteer time and community generosity. Here's how you can make a direct difference.
Every dollar directly supports food, veterinary care, medication, enrichment, and the daily cost of keeping the shelter running.
Give Today →Volunteer two hours a week and change an entire day for a shelter cat. From cleaning shifts to grant writing — every skill matters.
Start Volunteering →Open your home temporarily to a cat who needs a quiet place to decompress, recover, or bloom. The shelter provides supplies and support.
Become a Foster →Cat food, litter, cleaning supplies, enrichment toys — purchase items directly from our shelter wishlist and ship them straight to us.

Puzzle feeders, toys, and activities that keep shelter cats healthy and stimulated.

Cleaning supplies, facility costs, and the everyday work of running the shelter.
"We didn't know how much our home was missing until Clementine walked in. She was scared at first, but after two weeks she owned the entire couch."
"The volunteers spent so much time helping us understand Theo's needs. He had some medical stuff but they prepared us for everything. He's thriving."
AHS has limited space and is not an open-admission shelter. We must confirm acceptance before any cat is brought to the facility.
Please do not leave a cat unattended outside the facility under any circumstances.
