Pet Adoption & Welfare Services of OK (PAWS-OK) We are a 501(c)3 non-profit feline rescue operating in the Oklahoma City area. We do not adopt out any kittens younger than 4 months of age.

PAWS-OK rescues unwanted or abandoned cats surrendered by citizens in the Oklahoma City area. Our vets test them for Feline Leukemia and FIV, spay or neuter them and bring them up-to-date on their required vaccinations. They are then fostered in a home environment and, when ready, made available for adoption to new loving individuals and families. PAWS-OK is not a shelter and we reserve the right

to deny adoption to individuals with poor vet care histories. The majority of our cats are surrendered to us by their owners and we have a verbal agreement with them to place their cats into homes that meet our adoption guidelines without regard to the length of time it takes to find such homes. Our Adoption Guidelines are also a commitment we make to our volunteer foster parents who can have the final word on adoption approvals. If you are interested in adopting from PAWS-OK, please download an Adoption Request Form from our website at www.pawsok.com. All applications are closely reviewed and references are contacted to determine the appropriateness and pet ownership history of potential adopters. Approvals can take up to 4 days.

ADOPTED! Sweetie found a wonderful new home with a single woman from OKC recently. Sweetie arrived with PAWS-OK in September 2024 actively giving birth to 5 kittens in a garage. She is one of the gentlest, sweetest moms we have had in a long time on rescue. She took great care of her kittens and is super laid back. Her new owner came to us initially looking at a different cat we have, Nicole, who has a fair bit of spice but she was looking for a more gentle, easy going companion. When we put Sweetie directly in her arms it was immediate infatuation. Congratulations to Sweetie and her new mom!

ADOPTED! Bellestar found a wonderful new home with a lovely cat-loving lady from OKC recently. Bellestar, now "Sweet Belle" or simply "Belle" was rescued from the Bethany Shelter with her mom and siblings in April of last year. Shortly afterwards they all developed a serious URI that effected Belle (the runt) which resulted in an eye infection that left her with a clouded eye. After numerous rounds of eye ointments, PAWS consulted Dr Shultz at the Animal Eye Clinic who pronounced her eye stable and definitely ready for adoption. Her new mom is familiar with eye issues from a previous cat she owned and will watch for changes in Belle's eye going forward. She is also experienced with shy cats like Belle. Belle joins 2 resident cat in her new home, Delilah and Clarence (who still hisses at her). Congratulations to Sweet Belle and her new family.

Our Story

Founded in 2008, PAWS-OK is a small cat rescue whose focus is on helping local citizens who, for personal reasons, must surrender their house pets, or who find friendly cats in their neighborhoods who need homes. In June 2011, PAWS-OK partnered with PetSmart Charities and began offering cats and kittens for adoption in the PetSmart Adoption Center on NW Hwy at Rockwell. The adoption Center is open 9-7 Monday thru Saturday and 10-6 on Sundays.

PAWS-OK rescues unwanted or abandoned cats surrendered by citizens in the Oklahoma City area. Our vets test them for Feline Leukemia and FIV, spay or neuter them and bring them up-to-date on their required vaccinations. They are then fostered in a home environment and, when ready, made available for adoption to new loving individuals and families. We do not adopt out any kittens younger than 4 months of age.

Our Mission: To facilitate the placement of family pets into loving homes for life and to support the reduction in cats-at-large through spay and neuter. PAWS-OK is not a shelter and we reserve the right to deny adoption to individuals with poor vet care histories. The majority of our cats are surrendered to us by their owners and we have a verbal agreement with them to place their cats into homes that meet our adoption guidelines without regard to the length of time it takes to find such homes. Our Adoption Guidelines are also a commitment we make to our volunteer foster parents who can have the final word on adoption approvals. If you are interested in adopting from PAWS-OK, please download an Adoption Request Form from our website at www.pawsok.com. All applications are closely reviewed and references are contacted to determine the appropriateness and pet ownership history of potential adopters. Approvals can take up to 4 days.

PAWS-OK has a number of programs designed to support our mission. See more about these programs on our website at www.pawsok.com
