Notes from Pet Adoption & Welfare Services of OK

My name is Duke and I was surrendered to PAWS-OK in September 2025 by a previous adopter who was feeding me in her yard. I was not very trusting of people, and am still really shy but I have improved a little bit since going into foster care. I need someone who is experienced with shy cats who will help me come out of my shell and enjoy life with humans.

PAWS-OK is a small foster based non profit rescue operating in the OKC area since 2008. All our cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for feline leukemia and FIV, up-to-date on their vaccines, litterbox trained and fostered in a volunteers home. We are committed to placing our rescues in the most loving homes that we can, regardless of how long it takes. Our kittens are kept with their mothers for as long as possible and not offered for adoption until they are at least 16 weeks of age. All our cats are in volunteer foster homes. If you are interested in adopting a new cat from PAWS-OK for your family, please go to our Adoption Request form at https://form.jotform.com/pawsokrescue/adoption-request-form. Your Request will be processed by a PAWS Volunteer who may reach out to you via email to clarify your information if needed. Processing normally takes 4-6 business days. If your request is approved, an Adoption Counselor will contact you to set up a phone interview and then a time to meet the cat or kitten. If we cannot help you, we may redirect you to other sources for a cat that may better fit your situation. Thank you for looking at our available cats and kittens. If you have any questions, please reach out for us at pawsokrescue@gmail.com.
