Steve

Description

Steve is an affectionate cat who was surrendered to PAWS with his roaming partner, Pam (a sweet tabby). They were a well known free roaming pair in a NW OKC neighborhood for their sweet natures and were surrendered to PAWS-OK so we could find them a home. Unfortunately when we took them to the vet, we discovered that both of them are FIV positive. This virus is not deadly to healthy young cats but is transferable through mating and serious fighting (deep penetrating bites). If you are looking for a pair of cats these may be a great pick or if you want to adopt just one, it would need to be either an only cat or live with another FIV cat and be kept indoor only to prevent spread. Steve is shy at first then sweet as can be when he knows you better. 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.  A handful of our available felines can be seen in the PetSmart Adoption Center in Rockwell Plaza (8357 N Rockwell) during normal store hours.   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 2-3 business days.  If your request is approved, an Adoption Counselor will contact you to set up a phone interview or a time to meet with them at our Adoption Center.  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.
