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

Mitzy
Foster in BristolMitzy is a truly special lady - elegant and sweet natured, with a tiny bit of spice. She's a vocal and engaging friend who loves to be where the action is (or at least where you are). She enjoys following me round our home, will be in whatever room I am working from, coming in for the odd snuggle. She is 9 years old but has a playful kittenish side and a wonderfully expressive way of letting you know when she’s ready to play - often with a polite little scream after her nap. She loves wet food, but her real soft spot treat is plain cooked chicken. Lasers, feather wands, and toys that let her chase and pounce are all firm favourites - she's been pretty much an indoor puss but would love a catio or garden away from busy roads. Mitzy came from a home where children didn’t treat her with the kindness she deserved, and before meeting us came from an overwhelming vet visit so she’s learning to trust again. We suspect her sass is her way of keeping herself safe, and she thrives in an environment that respects her boundaries. She’s big on consent - give her a moment to sniff you, go slow, and she’ll reward you with cheek rubs and back pats. She’s not a lap cat just yet, but she does love to sit on your chest and purr her heart out when the world is quiet, either last thing at night or first thing in the morning. Mitzy is looking for a calm, adult-only home (older, gentle teens might be fine) with no dogs or other cats, where ideally someone is around most of the day - she thrives on company and would love to share her days and be best friends with someone who works from home or is retired. She finds comfort in being close at night, so a home where she is welcome to sleep in the bedroom would suit her perfectly. If you’re looking for a beautiful, emotionally intelligent companion who will grow into your heart and bring personality, charm, and a little spark of drama to your life — Mitzy might just be your perfect match Neutered, chipped and vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. - New
Miguel
Foster in BristolMiguel is 9 years old with a lovely affectionate nature. He absolutely loves spending time with people and will curl up on your lap for some strokes and a snooze as soon as you sit down. He loves cuddles and belly strokes, and enjoys a bit of play time as well. He was originally given up by his owner as he clashed with their other cat so definitely needs to be an only puss now. He's such a delightful character, just full of affection. He likes a variety of food and would love a garden away from busy roads. He's not used to children though may be ok with older teenagers who would respect his boundaries but essentially he's looking for a quieter life where he will get all the attention. Neutered, chipped , vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Ping us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number if you'd like to say hola to Miguel 🙂 
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.
