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.
Latest Cats Looking for Fur-ever Homes

Nala
Foster in BristolHere's a rarity for you - only around 20% of gingers are female Beautiful little Nala, 2 years old, she's a little shy to begin with but give her some time and she'll be fine. Once she's settled she is very sweet and affectionate and loves head strokes. She does get spooked easily and wasn't happy with the children in her previous home so, this time round, she's looking for a calm, adult-only abode where she can chill to her heart's content. She'd also like a garden away from busy roads/catio to keep her safe. We don't know what she's like with other moggies unfortunately. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Ping us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number if this little ginger princess is the one for you. 
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. 🙂
Bastet and Akhenaten
Foster in Bristol, ReservedOur half Siamese, Egyptian-named beauties need a home together. Bastet (Grey and White) and Akhenaten (Grey) could not be sweeter companions. Beautiful Bast will follow you and around and loves to sit on or near you at all times, chatting happily as she does. Although 14 she is still playful, although a relatively unsuccessful hunter despite her interest in watching birds (she loves watching nature documentaries and magpies on cat TV!) Regal brother, Akhenaten, started off a little shyer than his confident sister, but was out looking for head rubs and human assurance within a couple of days. He is a gentle giant who will play a little fetch with you, but mainly likes to find a snuggly spot nearby to snooze away the day. Unless treats are involved of course, then it’s all systems go! Both cats love a fuss and human company, so ideally would like people that will be around the house a lot (work from home-ers, retirees etc) who they can chat to and hang out with. They have had problems in the past with being attacked by neighbourhood cats and dogs so must be homed as indoors or with access to a catio as they've been a bit traumatised by outdoors. Vaccinated, chipped and neutered with 5 weeks free insurance. Akhenaton has very minimal arthritis in a hind leg and will probably need a dental within the next 2 years (as per vet check). As these issues are not insurable, BWCR will cover their cost at Fernlea vets if treatment becomes necessary in the future. Send us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number for these Siamese if you please 🙂

Oreo and Rocky
Foster in Bristol, ReservedRocky and Oreo are brothers, approximately 10 months old, who need to find a new home as their previous human was allergic. Both boys are friendly with healthy appetites and love to play with springs and jingly things. Rocky enjoys watching the world go by from the window and will come and get a cuddle when he feels in the mood whereas Oreo comes straight over for a headbutt and does his best meerkat impression. Oreo also has an impressively fluffy tail which he likes to wave at you. They are both chilled out, polite and on the quieter side. Both boys are sporting some interesting hair cuts at the back as they've recently been to the vets to lose their trouble nuggets. They'll need a garden away from busy roads/catio to keep them safe and, as Rocky is a little on the shy side, a quieter home. They need to stay together as they love each other. Neutered, chipped, had first vaccination plus 5 weeks free insurance. Any biscuit fans out there?! Ping us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number, thank you 🙂
