3. Lilly
My name is Lilly and I am a momma cat who came to PAWS-OK just a few days before I gave birth to my wonderful kittens. I was found outside and taken in by a great older lady who only wanted the best for me but couldn't care for me and my soon to be newborns. I am super sweet and easy to handle and would love to find a great new home maybe with some young kids who would keep me busy and entertained too!

4. Penny
Hi there! Penny is my name and I was surrendered to PAWS in September 2025 after being found wandering an apartment complex in OKC. I am a very sweet girl with an opinion about everything that goes on around me. I love people and I like to eat. I was alone in my condo for a while but recently was put with another cat who took some time to get used to my energy levels LOL. A home with another active cat would be best for me.

Adopting a cat with children in Stillwater
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
