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.

Mystic, Charm, Trick and Spook
Foster in BristolFour of our our gorgeous little voids are still waiting to hear from you 🖤🖤🖤🖤"Tiny balls of energy with loud purrs and a fondness for kitten milk are now ready for adoption after having some extra TLC in foster care to get them more used to humans. One kitten is still slightly shy but should come out of his shell with more time with one of his more confident siblings. They are nearly identical to look at (thankfully apart from a few distinguishing white hairs) but have quite different personalities already even though they are only four months old. Mystic in particular will definitely tell you what he wants and are all happy for a cuddle.The way to their hearts is through food (wet food, biscuits, Dreamies, milky bites and cat milk have all been deemed acceptable so far) and some play time."They'll need gardens away from busy roads and could do well with a friendly puss to show them the way.16 weeks old, vet checked, vaccinated and chipped plus come with 5 weeks free insurance.
Our Longest Foster Residents
Andy and Saint
Foster in BristolSaint (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.
Grace
Foster in BristolGrace is a youthful 11 year old and fit as a fiddle. She is accustomed to all the comings and goings of a family home so isn’t phased by alternating periods of being alone and noisy household activity including visitors. She was the only pet and wouldn’t take kindly to sharing her home with another animal companion. Although Grace is well trained in litter tray etiquette indoors, she always had garden access which is important to her and woe betide any feline interloper who crosses her path!Grace is definitely a cat who knows her own mind. She knows exactly what she likes and, what she doesn’t like, those around her soon know about. Grace is usually quite reserved and though she likes to be with people in the main living space, she also likes her own place where she won’t be disturbed. She likes her wet food, on time and plenty of it though she happily munches dry food if she’s hungry between meal times. Grace doesn’t like treats, they aren’t proper food apparently! Generally Grace has an air of undemanding independence although she soon reminds her carer it’s meal time by talking and a gentle tap on the arm.In mellow mood Grace will seek and show affection, she snuggles up to her carer with a lot of head nudging to encourage stroking and tickling. She's quite a character 😁Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance.
Tilly
Foster in Bristol, ReservedTilly is a gorgeous long-haired black cat, approximately 11 years old with a sweet and shy temperament. When she first came to her foster home she spent some time in a safe hiding spot but having grown in confidence and feeling secure, she now spends her days lazing on the sofa. Tilly is happy to sit on your lap, enjoying having her luscious coat brushed or having her belly rubbed!Tilly can be quite jumpy when she hears loud noises or there are unexpected visitors, so would prefer a quiet home without children, and would like to be the only pampered puss. She occasionally likes to play, chasing a laser or ribbon, and she sometimes gets the zoomies, but she certainly doesn't have the energy of a young cat!Tilly is litter trained, however when spooked or stressed she has been known to pee elsewhere (on a bed or the floor). This is something to be conscious of,however it has been a very infrequent occurrence since being in her foster home.Tilly would suit someone who is patient and understanding, and in return will provide you with lots of love and affection, and even a good conversation - she can be quite chatty and I swear I've heard her say "hello"!!She'd love a little garden to potter in but we doubt she'd go far.Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance. Tilly does have a low grade heart murmur which is common in cats and is causing her no issues.
