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.

Pablo and Pickles
Foster in Bristol, ReservedBe still my beating heart Pablo ( all black) and Mr Pickles ( black and white) are gorgeous brothers. They have been raised in a family household with lots of interaction from children of all ages. Pablo is a sensitive little boy who hides at loud noises and is shyer than Mr Pickles who is the brave one! Both love to play and don’t mind being picked up and cuddled once they get to know you. Like normal kittens they are very busy playing most of the time but once worn out they love a fuss. They'd love a garden away from busy roads/catio/cat-proofed garden for when they're big boys. Other cats are fine and children over about 8 🙂 Already vet checked and having first vaccination and chip on Thursday when they're 9 weeks old, so they'll be ready to go to pastures new at the weekend. Send us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number for this delectable duo, thank you. 🙂 - New
Rocky and Ollie
Foster in BristolMeet Rocky & Ollie – the dynamic duo! Looking for double the love, double the fun, and double the lap warmers? Rocky and Ollie are 10-year-old brothers who prove that age is just a number – because these two still play like kittens! They’re best mates and must be adopted together (trust us, you wouldn’t want to split up this comedy act anyway). Whether they’re batting a foam ball across the floor, chasing your shadow like it’s a world-class sport, or trying to convince you that your dinner should really be shared… life is never dull with these boys around. Why they’re such a catch: Fine with dogs Fine with kids Super friendly Expert lap-warmers Sleep wherever they please… often belly-up in the middle of a room like they own the place Rocky even snores – so if you’ve ever wanted a cat who doubles as white noise, he’s your guy! They’d love a home with a safe garden away from busy roads where they can potter about outside, then come back in for snuggles and sofa time. One of the boys has a very mild heart murmur – it could just be vet stress, but it’s something to keep an eye on. If you’re ready for two charming, funny, food-obsessed companions who will fill your home with love (and the occasional snore), Rocky and Ollie are waiting to meet you. – their forever sofa is out there somewhere! Neutered etc Ollie (L) and Rocky (R) - New
Smokey
Foster in BristolThis little guy may be the brother of our girlie Amber. They were both found as strays in the same area but were taken in by different people and the connection was only made when Smokey went to the same vet for his vaccination. "Now 18 weeks, he was very timid and scared when we first saw him but as the days went on he warmed to us and became more confident and eventually he let us smooth him. We agreed to look after him whilst we try and find him a new home. Smokey is a sweet and and friendly boy, he would like a family with older children and a garden away from busy roads for when he's a big boy! He's a lovely little kitten, he now loves a cuddle and hasn’t scratched or tried to bite anyone who’s met him. Plus he's perfectly litter trained :)" He had to spend last week in a cattery and took it totally in his stride - he's a little star! Vaccinated and chipped plus 5 weeks free insurance. Email us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number for this gorgeous little void.
Our Longest Foster Residents
Trixie
Foster in Bristol, ReservedHer owner took her on from a neighbour and had her for around 9 years until he suddenly had to leave the country recently. Another little puss who didn't have a clue what was happening and took a few weeks to settle. "Hi I’m Trixie, approx 12 years old. My foster mum says I’m sweet but spicy . I was very shy at first and didn’t know how to act so I wasn’t the friendliest cat but over the weeks I have learned to trust and now I love to climb into bed at night and be stroked to sleep with a huge purrrrrr . I love to play chase with my toys and love to chase the laser pen. I don’t much like to be picked up and I’m not a lap cat ..yet, I'm quite an independent girlie in that regard so I would be best suited to a home where I can come and go with no other pets or young children. I really, really don’t like mum's other cats! I would love a garden away from busy roads to explore as mum says I’m very eager to get out into the big outside world again. I have been to the vets and have a clean bill of health apart from being a bit chonky! In time, with trust and love, I will become your best friend and follow you everywhere." Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. If you're looking for a plumpcious panther, please mail us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number 🙂
Ada, Beatrice and Prudence
Foster in Bristol, ReservedA tantalisingly, top-notch trifecta of tasty terrificness : Ada, Beatrice & Prudence These 3 girls have been in with us since they were 3 weeks old; they were found in a trailer with no mum around so had to be hand reared. Very sadly their tiny brother, who was much smaller, didn't make it despite extensive vet treatment 🙁 They are now nearly 13 weeks and are ready to find their new home, we want them to stay together as they are very close and do everything as a trio. They're full of beans and love nothing more than bombing around the house and causing chaos until it's time to crash and then they love a lap to curl up on. Ada (ginger girlie) is the least confident so a home with older children would be best and access to a garden away from busy roads is a must. Chipped and vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance, BWCR will cover the cost of their neutering at either the PDSA or Fernlea vets. We know it's a big ask but these gorgeous babies love each other -please send us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number if you have room in your heart and your home
Ronnie
Foster in BristolRonnie is 11 years old; a very affectionate distinguished gentleman who loves cuddles and sitting on your lap. He's quite a big boy so he majes a very hood warmer! He's happy with the sofa though if you're otherwise engaged; he's very easy going and undemanding! He also loves to go out and explore so a garden away from busy roads would be most acceptable. Ronnie isn’t too fussy with food, he will eat wet and dry, usually supermarket brand, and he’s never been around children so an adult-only home would be best. Ronnie is looking for a quiet new forever home as his owner is unable to care for him properly any longer. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Ronnie does have a mild heart murmur which the vet wasn't concerned about. Email us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number if this suave tuxedo, all dressed up with nowhere to go, is the one for you 🙂
