Leena (Very Shy)

“Leena is one of our shyer cats, however when you earn her trust, she will show you that she is an absolute sweetheart. She enjoys playtime with the infamous peacock feather or the laser light and she will flop on her back to show you how she is relaxed. Leena likes to watch Cat TV and listen to the sounds of nature. She is also very calm and friendly towards other cats, therefore, she would do well with the company of another friendly cat or cats who may bond with her while offering her support and comfort. As Leena does not like to be handled a lot, she will need a home without small children. Her new family to be will need to be understanding of her special needs and allow her to adjust at her own pace. Using only positive based methods and play therapy is very important in ensuring her transition is successful and stress free.” ~beautiful bio crafted by volunteer extraordinaire Jana DOB: 8/24/2019 Shelter Hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 7pm-9pm: Visitation Only Wednesday: 7pm-8:30pm: Visitation Only Weekend Hours by Appointment Only. Please text 907-230-6394 to make these arrangements. Appointment times are: 3:15, 4:00, 4:45 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. 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. 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. We do not do same day adoptions. 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. 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. AHS will provide behavioral support for the transition and throughout the adoption 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. 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. 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.
