Animal Welfare Department MenuWorking Cats Available for Adoption
Hello and thank you for your interest in adopting working cats!
We adopt out working cats that are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and have their left ear tipped (this is the international sign for a cat that has been sterilized). These particular cats are working cats because they are more feral, shy, and/or sensitive to over stimulation. OKCAW tries to adopt them out as quickly as possible on a first come first served basis. Occasionally we may be able to temporarily place them on a hold for you to allow you time to drive to our shelter to adopt them. There is sometimes a wait period for people wanting working cats, as we may not currently have any available, or they are waiting for surgical sterilization to be adoptable. In order to get you added to our wait list of working cat homes, please answer these few questions. Once we have this information, we will be able to add you to the list so a staff member can contact you when we have them ready to go!
