PAWS-OK rescues unwanted or abandoned cats surrendered by citizens in the Oklahoma City area.

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.

ADOPTED! Goldie found a wonderful new home with a family from OKC and they just love her despite her reluctance to look at the camera during her Adoption Day Photos! Goldie was rescued as a small kitten from a home in Britton, OK after her mom left 5 kittens in a lady's basement and never returned. Goldie was adopted in May 2021 but was a little to active for the owners and she came back. Then she was adopted to a family in 2022 who had to return her due to allergies. Through all of this she remained sweet and affectionate, knowing we would find her a perfect home and it appears we DID! Congratulations to Goldie and her new family!

ADOPTED! Joy found a great new loving home recently. She was surrendered to us quite pregnant last fall and presented us with 5 kittens the very next day. We are happy to report that she and her litter have ALL found great new homes, despite the fact that none of her kittens looked anything like her lol! Her Siamese genetics gifted her with pretty blue eyes that are a bit cross-eyed. She was a birthday gift for her new 9-year old owner and now lives in Edmond. Congratulations to Joy and her new family!

ADOPTED! Bunny found a wonderful new home recently with nice lady and her daughter from Norman. Bunny was rescued from the MWC Shelter last fall with a partially "de-gloved" tail (the skin & fur was missing) which required amputation. After the surgery, from the rear, she looked like a rabbit - thus her name. She is an only pet in her new home and getting very spoiled! Congratulations to Bunny and her new family!

ADOPTED! Lisa (now Pepper) was adopted a few weeks ago by a lovely family in Warwick Estates. With another older cat, an active corgi and two teens, she has lots of activity to keep her busy. She is one of the last kittens from the Silver Lake litter, born this past spring. Only her brother, Tuxie, if still waiting for his new home. Congrats to Pepper and her new forever 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
