If you want to adopt in Bangkok, this is the most transparent route. The Sunday cafe lets you meet adoptable cats in a calmer setting than the main shelter, and every cat is already desexed and vaccinated before you take them home. Start here rather than pet shops.
The shelter sits in a five-storey commercial building on Soi Sukhumvit 93 near Bang Chak BTS station. PAWS opened in June 2012 when volunteers from the earlier Soi Cat and Dog rescue regrouped to focus solely on felines.
The shelter houses around 80 cats at any time, from newborn kittens to seniors, all pulled from Bangkok's streets or surrendered by owners who can no longer keep them. The core work is medical: spay and neuter programs, vaccinations, flea treatment, and leukemia testing for incoming animals, plus low-cost or free nursing care for community cats whose caretakers cannot afford private vet bills. Every cat cleared for adoption is already desexed and current on vaccines, which removes the most common post-adoption headache. The team also runs educational outreach programs at Bangkok schools to teach responsible pet ownership. You can meet adoptable cats at the Sunday adoption cafe, which runs from 11am to 5pm at UnionSpace on Ekkamai every week. The cafe setting is calmer and the cats are already used to being handled, which makes it easier to gauge personality fit before you commit. The Sunday slot is the only regular public event, so email protect@pawsbangkok.org if you need to meet cats on a weekday.
Contact the team at protect@pawsbangkok.org for adoption questions or volunteer@pawsbangkok.org to help with operations. The adoption fee covers medical costs. The shelter runs entirely on donations and volunteer hours, which means every adopted cat directly creates space for the next rescue. Capacity stays near full. The faster a cat finds a home, the sooner another street cat can take the spot.
