Welcome to PAWS!
PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap is a grass roots volunteer-based nonprofit animal welfare organization. By providing a wide range of direct services, it strives to nurture and sustain the bond of companionship between pets and their people.
During this time, for the safety and welfare of all in our community, PAWS has made some changes to our programming. Our Adoption Centers are open for adoptions by appointment only. All available cats are listed under Adopt a Cat, on www.Petango.com, www.petfinder.com or www.adoptapet.com.
If you are interested in a kitten, as they become available, photos are posted on the PAWS Facebook page. If you would like to make an appointment to adopt a cat or kitten, please email: catadopt@pawsbink.org, go to www.Petango.com, or Fax: 360-785-2182. Please include the animal’s name along with your contact information and staff will connect with you within three working days.
As always, PAWS is your pet information resource. If you need help or information about your pet, please contact us at 206-842-2451 x3 or paws@pawsbink.org. PAWS staff will return your call within three business days.

Providing a Safety Net

By providing Veterinary Financial Assistance, Senior Support and a Pet Food Bank, PAWS provides the resources needed to keep cherished pets at home. Sometimes being able to have a pet in your life and needing to surrender that beloved companion to a shelter can be a very close call for a family who is suddenly living on the brink. Pet retention programs like these take the pressure off overcrowded shelters and keep families together.
Proving There's No Place Like Home

Whether through our collaborative Right Dog-Right Home Matchmaking Program, our innovative PALS Senior Placement Program, our free county-wide KitsapLostPets.org Lost and Found Service, or our highly regarded Adoption Program that rescues at-risk cats and kittens from high kill shelter areas, PAWS is working every day to nurture and sustain the bond of companionship between pets and their people.
Supporting A Compassionate Community

From our Good Samaritan Fund for injured found pets, to supporting community caregivers with feral cats, to providing a Guardian Angel Fund for the humane euthanasia of suffering animals whose owners cannot afford this final act of kindness and serving as a pet education resource, PAWS is there for the most vulnerable in our community thanks to the support we receive from so many like-minded individuals right here at home.
