Important Steps to Adoption:

  • Determine if you can support, both emotionally and financially, a loving companion that you'll keep for life and love it unconditionally.
  • Pick out your future companion, or several. You can see only a few here, so see our entire list by visiting our Petfinder.com page OR by contacting us. We can arrange for you to visit one of our foster homes to meet some of our companions looking for good homes.
  • Fill out one of our adoption applications and submit it to an OCAWL volunteer
  • If approved for your future pet, be sure to prepare your home. Buy water and food bowls if you don't already own them. Buy a litter pan, litter scoop, and litter if it's a cat you'll be adopting or a collar and leash if it's a dog. Buy toys and/or other things to spoil your future companion.
  • Read and sign the Adoption Agreement, pay the adoption fee (varies depending upon the pet) and take your new friend home. Be patient with them as they adjust and after a few hours to days you and your new companion will bond in your daily routine.
  • Enjoy your new more fulfilling life.
  • Can't decide or can't have a pet in your current situation? Please think about helping us continue to provide services, donate to OCAWL or volunteer your time with us.

 

 

wonderful friends waiting to be adopted

Below are just a few of the many beautiful and loving pets eagerly awaiting a special place in your home. For a full list of our adoptable companions, visit us on Petfinder Oswego.

Maya

Maya is a super sweet girl with a lot of love to give. She gives the biggest hugs and kisses. She gets along well with other cats and very well with humans. If you'd like to meet this wonderful kitty, please contact Hilary at 315-342-3050.

Ferdinand

Ferd is a giant kitten. He's only 10 months old, but as big as a full grown kitty. He is a total lovebug to humans and doesn't mind other cats at all. He'd be a great addition to your family. If you'd like to meet him, please contact Hilary at 315-342-3050.

 

Sally

Sally is a wee little girl and only about 7-8 months old. She came to us with her brother, Linus. He isn't quite adoptable yet. He isn't as trusting of humans as Sally is. She is truly a sweetheart and loves to be held and snuggled. Sally has been tested and has had her shots. She has not been spayed yet. If you would like to meet her, please contact Hilary at 315-342-3050.

 

Petey

Petey is a quiet, shy and very loving kitty. He would need a little time to warm up to a new person, but once he does, you have a friend for life. If you'd like to meet Pete, please call Darlene at
315-343-7320.

 

Nonni

Nonni is a very young girl who has been through a lot in her short life. She is only roughly 9-10 months old, but has already given birth to a litter of kittens. Because she was so malnourished, none of her kittens survived. She is steadily gaining weight and enjoying not being a stray anymore. Nonni has a wonderful, sweet personality and would be a great addition to anyone's family. She should be in a home with no dogs or small children as she gets spooked easily. She can tolerate cats that aren't very dominant. If you would like to meet Nonni, please contact Hilary at 315-342-3050.

 

Leslie

Miss Leslie is a spunky little thing. She's all tortie. She can dominate the largest of kitties in her home. She's also one of the snuggliest babies you'll ever meet. She has the added cuteness of additional toes in the front. It makes her look like a little bear cub. You have to meet this wonderful girl. To do so, call Hilary at

315-342-3050.

 

 

 

Marty

Marty is a real sweetheart. He loves people and truly gets along well with other cats. He would be a wonderful addition to any home. If you would like to meet this beautiful boy, please contact Darlene at 315-343-7320.

 

 

Toesey

This little girl has a heart of gold. She is sweet and playful. She can be a little shy upon first meeting, but once she gets to know you, she's all yours. If you would like to meet this wonderful girl, please contact Darlene at 315-343-7320.

 

Finnigan      

Finn is awesome. He's sweet, quiet, loving and just an all around good boy. He loves to be held and snuggled. He tolerates other cats, but shouldn't be around a very dominant one as he is intimidated into hiding. If you'd like to meet this wonderful boy, please contact Hilary at 315-342-3050.

        

Coco

Coco is a shy, sweet and very loving kitty. She'd love to be someone's lap cat for sure. She gets along with other cats just fine, but she should probably be in a home with no dogs or small children as she can be a little skittish with loud noises. If you'd like to meet this wonderful girl, please call Hilary at

315-342-3050.

Casey

Don't let that scowl fool you. This little girl is all heart and has a ton of love to give. Casey is shy and quiet. If you have time to sit, she will warm you lap for you. Casey does fine with her roommates, but may not do well with a dog. If you would like to meet this wonderful kitty, please contact Darlene at 315-343-7320.

Natasha

Natasha has a feisty and very strong personality. She is sweet and loving just the same. She would do best in a home with few other pets as she tends to want to be the dominant one. If you would like to meet this beauty, please contact Darlene at 315-343-7320.

Bobbi

This little girl came to us a while ago as a cruelty case. Someone had cut her tail off and just left her. She was brought in and cared for and has adjusted very well, considering. She has the personality of a kitten. She loves to play, especially with rolls of paper towels, as you can see. Bobbi would fit best in a household with a lot of energy and possibly other pets. She also will lay and your lap and snuggle if the mood strikes her. She's just an all around great kitty with a lot of love to give. If you are interested, please call Hilary at 315-342-3050.

Dana

Miss Dana had a rough start with us as she was hit by a car, which shattered her pelvis. She spent about 4 months in a cage recuperating and is now able to walk and jump like before. Dana has a wonderful personality and gets along with other cats very well. She loves humans the most though. If you'll let her, she'll sit in your lap all day. They figure Dana to be around 1-2 years old. If you'd like to see her in person, please call Hilary at
315-342-3050.

 

Ruby

Ruby is definitely the shy, quiet type. She doesn't say boo most of the time. She'd make a good lap cat. She'd do best in a home with little activity and no other pets or small children. She is a sweetheart and a beauty to look at, that's for sure. If you'd like to meet Ruby, call Hilary at 315-342-3050.

 

Corina       ADOPTED!

Corina is a beautiful, sweet, gentle girl. She loves to be held and will sit on your lap for hours. She's a submissive type kitty, so she doesn't do very well with dominant cats. She gets bullied quite a bit. Obviously then she'd best in a home with few to no other pets. To meet this lovely lady, please call Hilary at

315-342-3050.

  

Marnie

Marnie is as sweet as she is adorable. She has had two litters of kittens, believe it or not. She has since been spayed and she and her kittens are looking for their forever homes. Marnie, unfortunately, is deaf, but this doesn't slow her down for a second. She just should not live in a home with dogs or small children. A quiet, subdued home would be best for her. She doesn't mind other cats at all. If your home would be perfect for her, please give Hilary a call at

315-342-3050.

Jinx

This gorgeous boy had to be surrendered to us because his owner is elderly and couldn't care for Jinx any longer.  When Jinx first entered foster care he was so afraid and defensive.  With some time and patience, he is now a loving, sweet and nutty kitty.  He had sort of embraced the fun that is his foster home and all of its residents.  Jinx isn't necessarily fond of being picked up and held, but his two caregivers do it to him anyway and smother him with kisses.  He meows in protest and is promptly put down.  He is a definite lap cat, but still loves to bat a toy around too.  He'd do best in a home with few pets and no children.  He is truly an amazing cat and deserves a new home.  For more information, call Hilary at

315-342-3050.

Tigger

Tigger is an energetic, fun-loving kitty. He is a tad bit shy when he first meets you, but once he gets to know you, he's your best friend. He gets along fine with other cats, but would do best in a home with very few of them. He would not do well with dogs or young children. Tigger is about 2 years old, has been neutered and has had his shots. If you would like to meet him, please contact Hilary at
315-342-3050.

Squeaky

Squeaky has been in foster care for too long for no good reason. He is a wonderful and sweet boy, but gets picked on by his roommates because of his gentle nature. We believe Squeaky to be around 3-4 years old. He has had his shots, been tested and is neutered. If you'd like to give Squeaky the home he deserves, please contact Darlene at
315-343-7320.

Jerry

Jerry and his brother, Tommy, have been with us for too long. There is truly no reason for this. They are two of the sweetest, best behaved kitties you'll ever meet. Won't you call us to meet these wonderful boys? To do so, call Darlene at 315-343-7320.

Tom

Please look to your left to find my brother, Jerry, and a little bit about us.

 

Tommy

Tommy was a stray who had the good fortune to come into OCAWL's foster care. He is a just over a year old, but still acts like a kitten. It takes him a little bit to get used to new people, but when he does, he's a sweetie. He has a ton of energy, so he'd make a great companion to another active cat. He also has the cutest meow ever. If you'd like to meet this handsome fellow, call Barb at

315-963-3794.


 

Harmony

Harmony is a gentle, sweet girl. She had a rough beginning, but has risen above it and is now enjoying her life with humans. She gets along well with other cats and dogs too. She is only 3 years young and has been spayed. If you'd like to meet this beauty, call Darlene at 315-343-7320.

Baby Delight

Baby Delight is a tiny little thing that had a pretty rough beginning. She had a very bad virus/infection when she was only weeks old and it is part of the reason that she is so small. Baby only weighed 1lb 10oz at 4 mos old. She now weighs 6lbs 8oz and is almost a year old now. She had to have surgery to remove a tumor in her sinuses, but seems to be ok now. Her foster mother says that she's shy, but loving. If you'd like to meet this sweetie, call Barb at 315-963-3794.

Patrick

Patrick is a hands-off sort of cat. He's not big into being picked up and handled, but will sit by you on the couch. He is used to living with other cats and dogs too. If you'd like to give Patrick a permanent, safe and loving home, call Darlene at 315-343-7320.
