Finding Forever Homes for Cats in Bristol and Wales
Hello, we’re Bristol and Wales Cat Rescue, a small and friendly group of volunteers dedicated to finding loving homes for cats and kittens in need.
We rescue, foster and rehome hundreds of cats every year across the South West and Wales, cats that have been badly treated, abandoned or just unwanted. Most of our pusses have no special requirements, and are waiting to spend an afternoon purring away on a comfy sofa.
We do things a little different around here. All of cats are fostered either in our own homes or in purpose-built, warm, secure pens in our gardens. We don’t have any sterile facilities, and we don’t put cats to sleep unless it’s the only option recommended by a vet.
Nothing makes us happier than seeing a cat or kitten find their forever home, which is why we accept adoptions from families with lots of different lifestyles and locations.

Sooty and Salem
Foster in Bristol, UncategorizedTwo cute little voids.. Bonded brothers Sooty & Salem are about 12 weeks now and are a beautiful duo who would make a loving addition to a family home. Sooty has tabby stripes in his coat which is handy as it's the only way to tell them apart! They came from an unsuitable home and in poor health but, after a few trips to the vet, they're all fine and dandy and ready for their forever home. Sooty has the cutest eyes and a calm, friendly, playful purrsonality; Salem has the cutest meow, whenever he's stroked, and is the most confident and cheekier of the two. Both are very loving and need a home with someone willing to spend time playing with them and they'd love a garden away from busy roads/catio etc to keep them safe. They really are the cutest kittens and will grow into beautiful bonded black mini panthers. Chipped, had first vaccination, with 5 weeks free insurance. You can't a-void it - mail us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number. 🙂 - New

Cookie
Foster in BristolMeet Cookie – A Wild-at-Heart Companion Looking for His Perfect Match Cookie is a striking 21/2-year-old Arabian Mau with a big personality and a loyal heart. Originally rescued from the streets of Dubai, he’s now looking for a forever home where he can truly be himself — playful, affectionate, and a little bit wild. What Makes Cookie Special: Affectionate & Loyal – Cookie is a real softie with his humans. He loves lap time, purrs like a motor, and will follow you from room to room — and all around the garden — like a little dog (unless he’s napping, eating, or out adventuring). Clever & Playful – When he wants to play, he’ll drag his toys into the room you’re in to get your attention. He’s always thinking, always engaging, and always up for fun. Chatty & Social – Cookie always announces himself with a cheerful meow when he enters a room, just to say hello. He loves being part of the action. Food-Motivated & Bright – He’s got a lot to say, especially around mealtimes, and he’s incredibly sharp. You’ll never be bored with Cookie around. A Bit of Wild Still in Him As an Arabian Mau, Cookie has retained some of his natural instincts. He’s very territorial and has been getting into fights with neighbouring cats. We believe he now sees them more as intruders than rivals, which has been stressful for everyone involved. He’s not suited to indoor-only life, so we’re looking for a rural or semi-rural home with no nearby cats. Cookie also has a wild streak — every now and then, he gets a very specific look on his face, and when he does, he may bite. It’s not out of aggression, but more like a momentary instinct kicking in. The good news is, he snaps out of it quickly, and we’ve learned to spot the signs before it happens. He’s also learned not to do it to us (well, mostly!). His new owner will need patience, awareness, and a good sense of humour — ideally someone with experience of spirited or high-energy cats. Cookie’s Ideal Home: A countryside or rural setting with safe outdoor access No other cats nearby (and ideally no other pets) No young children (due to his tendency to bite when overstimulated) Someone who appreciates a cat with spirit and will give him the time and space he needs Cookie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and full of love. We’ll continue to care for him until the right home comes along — he deserves a place where he can be his full, fabulous self. If you’re looking for a faithful, fun, and fiercely unique companion, Cookie might just be your perfect match
Our Longest Foster Residents
Millie
Foster in BristolSpecial home needed for our shybaby Millie Dear Millie is a bit of a project puss, she's about 16 and was very scared when she first arrived. She'd originally turned up as a stray many years ago and has only known one elderly owner. She is getting bolder by the day, and jumps up on the bed (in 'her' room and mine) every morning/evening now for strokes. She's even getting used to my partner - it's like she's slowly learning how to cat! She's started to play a little when she's in the mood - she will chase/attack little leaves and bits of string and has the occasional mini zoomies. Not bad for a little old lady! She really loves strokes and snuggles too and purrs up a storm but she's always slightly wary and ready to disappear under the bed again. I'm sure that will improve with time though. She's such a lovely sweet natured puss and would love a garden away from busy roads/catio to keep her safe. She did have feline friends previously but tolerated them rather than being besties! Neutered,chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. If you'd like to takeaway Miss Millie please mail us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number, thank you. 🙂
Bonnie
Foster in BristolOur little Bonbon is still looking for her special person. Bonnie is a very sweet natured little floofball and has a lovely temperament, she's just a bit shy to begin and needs a little time to get to know you. She’s not a lap cat but she's definitely a head bumper and enjoys settling in next to you to watch a bit of TV or have a snooze. She becomes more active in the evenings and enjoys chasing string - not bad for a 12 year old! . She especially loves tickles on her head. She needs a quiet home plus a garden away from busy roads as she does enjoy a little potter in the fresh air. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance.
Reggie and Norman
Foster in BristolReggie and Norman are nearly 4 yrs and are bonded brothers. They're calm, well behaved cats who are shy to begin with and just need some to settle in. Once they do, they're no trouble and a joy to look after, enjoying strokes and a good old fuss. They need a quieter home with no young children or other pets and some time to build their confidence. They love being outdoors so need a garden away from busy roads - Reggie did have an argument with a car and broke his leg, it's all healed beautifully and he's back to bouncing around but he tends to stay closer to home now! They love their food so that's always handy for a bit of bribery Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance.
