HB 348 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to feral cats.

HB 348 allows individuals to release "community cats" (feral cats that have been vaccinated, ear-tipped, and spayed/neutered) on land with the landowner's permission. This release is exempt from state/municipal animal ownership and care requirements and does not count as animal abandonment. The bill defines key terms, including "community cat" and "landowner" (covering state, municipal, and private owners). It also clarifies that this release does not violate other animal control laws. The bill is currently in committee review after its first reading.
