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

JJ Sploot
Foster in BristolThis handsome little dude is JJ. Full name JJ Sploot. Voted most likely to appear on a wanted poster. He’ll pilfer your Dreamies from a closed drawer then look you in the eyes while you’re telling him off, and steal your heart too! He’s got something for everyone. He’s glossy AND floofy. He’s more tail than cat, and he’s 200% purrsonality, 80% head bumping smoocher and 40% mischief and mayhem. (No maths qualifications though!) He’s on your lap the second you sit down and your view when you open your eyes in the morning will be him on your chest (see photo for evidence. He purrs like a motor but has the tiniest trill for a miaow. He does have a fine set of thunder paws though. You can hear his zoomies from the next room. JJ loves to be stroked , and will give your hands a good wash. He does nibble sometimes but a firm no will stop that. He’s only 7 months old and still learning. He’s a handsome jet black void with big amber eyes. He is wearing a pair of tiny white furry Speedos but you’re not allowed to laugh at them. He has his dignity! This gorgeous boy will want to sleep in your room, and will need lots of company. He could live with children old enough to teach him that fingers and toes are friends, not toys. He’s quite the attention seeker so would be best as an only pet, not sharing the adoration. He will need a safe garden on a quiet road, and a cat flap, and would benefit from staying in at night. The Dreamies will need to be well secured and the cuddles plentiful. He’s neutered, chipped and has had his first vaccination. All he needs now is his forever home. - New
Clawdia
Foster in Bristol, Reserved"Clawdia arrived with me early April, looking like a walking rugby ball, she quickly became known as fatty cat! She tumbled out the cat basket, looked at me, looked at the food and decided you'll do! From day one she acted like she had always been here. She had her kittens a couple of weeks later and immediately decided we should all raise them as family! She was happy to leave them with us whilst she ate etc and of course we didn't mind at all. She's had enough now though and is looking forward to being the centre of attention in someone's world. She's learning about not going on tables and kitchen worktops but sometimes she's just too excited to see you and forgets! She is very people focused, loves a cuddle and if you work at home she makes an excellent colleague joining in on Teams calls and just sitting on your lap whilst you type! She was born October 2024 so is still very kitten like, morning zoomies, chasing balls and having fun. I think sensible children over 8 would be fine, she was a bit freaked out by a friend's 2 and 4 year old, so a bit older would be good. There are foster cats that leave a little paw print on your heart and she's definitely one of those. I will miss her loads." Clawdia would love a garden away from busy roads and doesn't like other cats unfortunately! Her kittens are going this weekend so she'll be spayed etc soon. Ping us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number if our little mama is the one for you 🙂 
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.
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.
