We are a non-profit pet rescue focused on finding homeless and abandoned cats new loving homes with responsible owners. Most of our cats are surrendered to us by people who can no longer care for their pets or who find themselves the caretaker of a neighborhood cat and / or kittens. All our cats are spayed or neutered, tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, fully vaccinated, fostered in a home setting and checked by a veterinarian before adoption.
We are a small group whose goal is to match responsible owners with the right pet. When our cats don't fit an adopters specific needs we can provide them with information on appropriate pets available from other local rescues/organizations or individuals. We are also happy to lend our expertise and resources to anyone who is looking for a specific type of pet (breed of dog or possibly de-clawed cat) or looking to rehome their own pet or a stray that they have found. In some instances we can take the pet (especially a cat) if we have room or in most cases we simply guide the owner with responsible adoption placement and advertising tips.
PAWS-OK is a non-for-profit 501(c)(3) designated organization and does not receive any public funding. Contributions are deductible under section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code. All the dollars we spend on running our organization are recieved as adoption fees, donations or are raised by our volunteers.

Our First Rescue!
PAWS rescued this little girl in August of 2008. She was found by a lifeguard at the Will Rogers Pool. It was a typical hot OKC day and she was in the drain, drinking pool water to quench her thirst. She was about 8 weeks old. "Sophia" was adopted to a very loving home on 9/6/08.

The Katie Lemons Fund
The Katie Lemons Fund was created in honor of Katie, a Yorkshire Terrier who changed the lives of many she met, including her loving owners. Katie went to the Rainbow Bridge on May 1, 2009 and this Fund was set up in her honor.
The KLF , raises monies and generates revenues which are available to pet owners who are economically less fortunate to pay for their pets emergency medical treatment in order to prevent euthanization.
If you would like to know more about this fund or make a contribution in honor of your pet, please contact us. Thank you.

Welcome!
The People Saving Pets campaign uses positive advertising, public relations and community events to educate the public and change perceptions about pet homelessness. It is designed to inspire action to save the lives of homeless pets by increasing pet adoptions and spay/neuter surgeries. Thru highlighting the efforts of national and local animal-welfare partners, like PAWS-OK the campaign inspires public participation.
People Saving Pets showcases the ways that pets enrich our lives. It provides information and education about the ways to end the tragedy of euthanasia. Please join us in spreading the word about the campaign and its goals. You can participate in People Saving Pets in a number of ways including becoming a member, attending a local event, donating your time or money, or buying official People Saving Pets merchandise. As always, adopting a homeless, rescued pet (and encouraging your friends and family to do the same) and spaying/neutering your own pet have a direct, lasting impact on pet homelessness.
