PAWS of Bremerton 

Established as a 501(c)3 in 1976, PAWS operated out of a small building in Manette, WA for 25 years. In 2000, we moved to our current cozy residence on Perry Avenue in Bremerton.

Our mission remains to provide a home-like environment for cats in need placement, averaging 100-200 cat adoptions per year. 

We proudly support our local community, helping to reduce pet overpopulation each year through our spay/neuter program in close partnerships with the Mason and Kitsap County Humane Societies. 

PAWS of Bremerton was established in 1975 to provide financial assistance to low-income residents of Kitsap County seeking emergency veterinary services for their companion pets. Our volunteer-operated organization maintains a cat adoption and rescue center at 3306 Perry Avenue, Bremerton, WA. Direct donations are accepted at our office by cash, check, and credit.  We gladly accept non-monetary donations in the forms of cat/dog food (both wet and dry), cat trees, toys, and other pet items.  We also stock a pet food pantry for cat and dog owners that need a helping hand.  Additional information can be found at our website pawsofbremerton.org.

In 2025, PAWS of Bremerton:

* Adopted out more than 197 cats and kittens.

* Provided medical aid to more than 400 pets of low income owners.

* Spayed or neutered more than 500 cats and kittens. Last year alone our efforts prevented the unplanned births of over 400,000 kittens.  

Giving Activity

Mission

PAWS of Bremerton works to prevent pet overpopulation through spay/neuter assistance. We help find new loving homes for cats through our home-style adoption center where cats can live comfortably while waiting for their new families.

We offer limited medical aid through local veterinary services for low-income, unemployed, and active military pet owners. We supply Advantage topical flea medication at reduced cost or even free to those with greatest need.

Needs

Before we adopt out a cat or kitten into a loving home, PAWS of Bremerton ensures that the animal has been spayed/neutered and has received at least one round of vaccinations.

For cats/kittens awaiting adoption, we provide safe, warm housing, food, and litter. We offer financial assistance for vet care to low income Kitsap County residents. We also provide Advantage flea medication at reduced cost.

Please donate so that we can continue to serve our community. Here are some sample costs:

* $85 provides vaccinations and sterilization (spay or neuter) for one cat/kitten.

* $35 provides a bag of high quality adult cat dry food.

* $20+ provides a case of high quality wet cat food.

* $20 covers a 28lb box of cat litter.

* $3 (cat or small dog) - $15 (large dog) covers the cost of Advantage for a low income pet owner.
