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.

Freddie and Flynn

Freddie is 8 yrs old with an affectionate demeanour, great with kids, great with dogs, very adaptable cat and a good all rounder.His friend Flynn is 6 yrs and more timid and is his little shadow so they can't be separated.

Neo
Foster in BristolHe's an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy, about a year old, who has figured out how to open several of the doors in our house! He loves attention and especially loves to play, but as an ex-street-kitty he hasn’t learned not to use his claws and can be defensive if he’s touched in the wrong place. He enjoys sitting in a lap and having his chin rubbed, but his absolute favourite spot is snoozing above the radiator and watching the world out the window!He likes to be in the same room as his people and would be happiest in a home with someone who can spend time with him but also respect his boundaries. He does not get along with other cats and would suit a home with no other pets or children and he'd love a garden away from busy roads.Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance. Neo does appear to be a flu carrier and has flare ups when he's stressed - BWCR will cover the cost of any treatments needed at Fernlea vets in Kingswood or Hanham but he usually just shakes it off after few days. - New
Flossie
Foster in BristolGorgeous grey girlieWe were first alerted to Flossie over a year ago when she'd been hanging around a lady's garden for a few months - they couldn't find her owners and were happy to feed her. Fast forward to last month and their circumstances had changed and they asked us to take her in. She's chipped and we've tried her owner again but they're not answering calls from us or the vet, or any emails..Flossie was very matted and needed some shaving but she's still a beautiful floof. Her fur is silky soft and she'll need regular grooming. She's a little timid and doesn't like other cats and needs a quieter home where she can settle at her own pace - she loves a fuss and likes to sit on a lap occasionally- she'd forgotten how good laps can be! She's a very gentle girlie and bright too. She'd like a garden way from busy roads but doesn't tend to wander far.10 yrs old, neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance.
Our Longest Foster Residents
Minx
Foster in BristolMinx by name Minx by nature - tortie diva looking for new servants! 💜 Sad Minx's owner is allergic to her and is having major asthma attacks 🙁 She's a sugar and spice kind of puss - happy to entertain herself and then sit by you for snuggles and a fuss but will give the dog a swipe if she thinks he's taking liberties! She tolerates him and she loves boxes, hiding in them for ages just waiting for that chance to jump out at anyone passing, people or the dog. Seems her relationship with the poor pooch is all on her terms even down to pinching his bed at times! She spends a lot of time indoors when it's cold and wet but she goes outside more when it gets warmer so would like a garden away from busy roads. She's only small but full of tortietude! Minx is 8 yrs and would like a quieter adult-only home and no other pets. Neutered chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance. She's still with her owners in Risca as we have no space. Are you ready to adopt a cat from Bristol & Wales Cat Rescue? Make sure you read our Adopt page and complete our Adoption Application form.

Harry & Meghan
Foster in Bristol, ReservedOur very own regal pair - Harry the ginge and Meghan the diva 💜💜 Meet Meghan and Harry, two of the farm kittens ready to find their forever home together. They're around 9 months old and have been with their foster parents for four weeks. In that short time they have really come out of their shells and both have big personalities. Meghan is very confident, friendly and full of sass, she likes to know what you're doing at all times and loves cuddling up on your lap. Harry is still a shy and nervous little guy but once he knows you, loves a good stroke and fuss. He's a big purrer. He's a playful one and will play for hours. He's not quite a lap cat but getting close. They love each other very much and chase each other around the house until they're tired out. They would love a garden to explore away from busy roads and are fine with other cats and older children. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus come with 5 weeks free insurance.

Luigi
Foster in Bristol, ReservedHey good lookin'...Thanks to your kind donations, Luigi has had his dental and is now ready for his furrever home, please form an orderly queue
"Luigi is an absolutely gorgeous boy who was lucky enough to be saved from his stray life, where he dined at many gardens far and wide.We believe him to be around 6 years old and he has the most loving and friendly nature. May your lap be cold no more as you will struggle to sit anywhere without having a ball of floof diving straight on there to get as close as he can. Due to him holding his own for quite a few years, he came in a little tatty and still has a couple of shaved patches where his matts were cut off but now he is ready to steal someone's heart!He would like to be the only pet where he can get all the attention that he has missed out on, in a quieter home as he's still getting used to being doted on after years of struggling on the streets. He'd definitely like a garden away from busy roads too with a warm lap, a good meal and a kind person waiting for him now."Neutered, chipped, had first vaccination, FIV/FeLV negative plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance.
