My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Duke the 5-year-old retired Tom cat is ready to start a new chapter of his life with a family of his own. He spent most of his life outside as the neighborhood Tom cat by the north Anchorage Costco. Caring neighbors were letting him come inside to warm up and eat as he pleased. One day he showed up to one of these houses with a terrible injury and we became involved. Poor Duke had a bad hernia that had been cut open. He was taken to the vet immediately and had surgery to get him better. It’s taken a while for the pain to subside and he doesn’t like when anyone touches around that area.

Despite his rough past, Duke is doing great learning how to become a family cat again. In his foster home, he has discovered that he loves to play! His favorite toys are his squeaky mouse and catnip fish. If you would want to play with him, that could be fun. But he doesn't require entertainment. He’s great at doing his own thing, but will come running when called. And he does have a special weakness for wet food; give him some and he will be your best friend. He enjoys having other cats around, but is not a fan of dogs. He’s very kind towards the toddler in his foster home and loving to the adults.

Duke has lived most of his life outside and still wants to be able to go out in nice weather and enjoy the lovely natural world. But having a real home and family where he has some personal space and have outside too would be his ultimate dream. He needs someone who can be patient with him while he’s still learning his new routine and trusting that you will love him forever. If your interested in this big beautiful boy, please call 907-980-8898 He's in Wasilla.

Additional adoption info

We require that adopters sign our adoption contract and a legally binding no-declawing agreement. There is an adoption fee. Most adult cats are $80 except for those who are sponsored or part of a special. Kittens under 8 months are $135. All adults are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Kittens are adopted at 12 weeks of age or older and are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.

Due to the pandemic, most of our adoptions are done virtually. Some of our cats are also available for adoption from their foster homes.

More about this rescue

Clear Creek Cat Rescue is a group of individuals in Alaska dedicated to rescuing cats in need, giving them care, rehabilitation if needed, and finding happy homes for them. We each give what we can to help these cats get through this most unfortunate time in their lives when they have been taken to the pound or are otherwise lost and homeless. Some of us share our homes with these cats while they are waiting for their forever family, some transport them from place to place, some host adoption fairs, take pictures, post ads. Some offer financial help. And through this dedicated group of people, more than a thousand cats have been saved and found loving homes.
In 2017, we rescued and rehomed approximately 500 cats.
