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.

welcome a cat into your home?

  • Keeley and Simone

    ,
    Our final two Olympic kittens have been ghosted by their adopter sadly.
    Girl power
    These two cuties should have been called Sassy and Spicy, two girls in a litter of 7 they certainly know how to work it and hold their own!
    Mum was a stray who came in pregnant but her friendly nature and loving manner with her litter has produced a wonderfully well-rounded family unit.
    The two girls have watched and learnt everything they need to know from their incredibly nurturing mum.
    Simone is not just a beauty with her black & white colours and brown eyes but has the brains to match and runs rings round the boys outwitting them and out fighting them, she takes no messing. But underneath her tough cookie exterior she is as soft as butter and loves snuggling, playing, racing around with her siblings and trotting across your keyboard to assist with whatever you may be doing on your laptop or computer.
    Keeley, one of three stunning tabbies from the litter, is as cute as a button and has the personality to match, she also loves playing and cuddling up with her siblings and a good fluffy ball to carry round, nobody gets a look in .
    These adorable sisters would love someone of their own who can shower them with affection and play time, they will be fine with children and need a garden away from busy roads.
    They are 10 weeks old, have had their vet checks, worming & flea treatment, first vaccination and have been microchipped so are ready to go whenever you are
    Email [email protected] with your address and contact number and these little stunners could be the new additions you’ve been waiting for to complete your family!
  • Bluebell

    ,
    Blooming gorgeous girlie needing a retirement home 🖤
    What can I say about Bluebell? She is a lovely puss with a beautiful soul. Since coming into foster she has had to have her right eye removed and some teeth out. She was extremely anxious and it has taken several months for her to leave her room, get her confidence back and for her personality to shine... and she definitely shines!
     She is very vocal and likes to yowl a bit, whether it's because I am on a late shift and her food is late ( she always has dry food available) or whether she is just glad I am home who knows?
     She is now rarely in her room (which she was unwilling to leave for several months) and has now taken over my bed. All it took was patience. I am so proud of her. What's really fabulous about our lovely Bluebell is that she is just so lush, gentle, kind and oh so grateful in her pussycat way for everything you do, but also likes her own space.
    She loves a windowsill and watching the world go by. She is 14 years old and needs a quiet gentle leisurely pace of life. She does have mild renal issues but this is stable on renal food and is otherwise fit and healthy. She has the most beautiful shiny black fur and black whiskers. She really enjoys a brush and being made to look her best. She and I have spent many evenings having a cuddle and a brush in front of the telly.
    I am confident that Bluebell is now resilient enough for her previous anxiety to not be an issue as long as settling in is done at her pace.She will bond with you and you will wonder how you ever lived without her. She is a real treasure. Oh and she loves a bit of cooked chicken.
    Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with the usual 5 weeks free insurance.

Our Longest Foster Residents

  • Andy and Saint

    Saint (tortie and white) and Andy, aptly named by the vet as they were caught on an industrial site on St Andrews Road. They were older kittens when they were caught and took a while to trust us. They are now both very affectionate, with Saint being the bravest and coming for cuddles first. We're not sure Andy will ever be a lapcat but he likes to sit next to you and enjoys lots of attention!
    They are gentle cats that like the company of other cats, they love to play together and will spend as much time as you can spare chasing a feather on a stick.
    They need to stay together as this lovely brother and sister are really bonded, they have been in foster most of their lives so will have no road sense and need a garden away from busy roads.
    Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus come with 5 weeks free insurance.
  • Dave

    Sadly their owners are moving abroad soon and are unable to take this gorgeous trio with them- they were originally BWCR kittens 4 years ago.
    "They have been with us since they were around 3 months old. They are all litter trained and in good health. They are all outdoor cats. We live on a very quiet no through road. There are several cats in the area and not had any problems. We have two children (8 & 12). We would like all three to be rehomed together as they love each other.
    *Dave*
    The most outdoorsy and adventurous of the 3, loves to be out in the wild all day and occasionally brings a present back. He comes home for reassuring cuddles and fuss and enjoys a good cuddle at night, especially when he can get some 1-2-1 time. Does startle easy to loud noises / sudden movements.
    Loves being his own cat
    Hates being kept indoors
    They get on very well and are used to children, they are good at coming in at night when they get fed!
    Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus 5 weeks free insurance; they are still with their owners in Malmesbury as we have no space.
    Is there a family maybe who can give them lots of cuddles and attention? They come with some equipment and no adoption donation required!

  • Daisy

    Calling all tortie lovers! 🖤🧡🤍
    Daisy is a lovely lady around 10 yrs of age. She likes to sleep most of the day and watches birds out of the window and sometimes meows at them.
    She’ll play with a small ball if she’s in the mood and is happy to meet other people but doesn't like small children and will run away and hide. She lived with them previously and was very stressed. She doesn’t mind other cats but is not fond of dogs!
    She’s likes a gentle tickle on her belly, surprisingly, and a smooth on the top of her head 🙂
    Her owner, due to declining health, has had to move into an extra care home and now lives on the 3rd floor so Daisy is unable to get out and she does love a garden.
    It’s with a heavy heart that her owner has decided to rehome her as she's not happy as an indoor puss.
    Neutered, chipped, first vaccination plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance. Daisy is still with her owner in Pontypridd to save her the stress of a move into foster.
