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

Rudy
Foster in Bristol, ReservedToday we have a gorgeously round little man with chubby cheeks and fat paws - how squishable is he?! Rudy is around 18 months and is shy and nervous but very sweet and affectionate. He has always been an indoor cat - he was living in one room, too scared to come out because of dogs so he has very limited life experience! Because he is very skittish and nervous with strange noises, he needs an indoor environment and a catio/ cat-proofed garden would be ideal if possible. He is very energetic and playful, and loves running around and chasing balls (he plays fetch!), so he does need some space to explore and play. He can be a bit vocal sometimes too as he gains confidence. He'd ideally like someone home for part of the day, maybe working from home, as he just hides himself away when alone. No other pets and no young children as he couldn't cope with the busyness of his previous home unfortunately. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Ping us an email with your and a contact number - it would be Rudy not to 🙂 - New
Bella and Daisy
Foster in BristolMeet Daisy and Bella - two sweet, charismatic, and beautiful girls looking for their forever home. The gorgeous Daisy is a 4-year-old domestic long-hair who LOVES to play, but also enjoys cuddling next to you on the sofa. In her previous home, Daisy enjoyed exploring the great outdoors in her rural garden by day, then chasing a wand/laser pointer and taking a snooze in the evening. Bella, a charming 15-year-old tortie, is a little less playful but is still very agile in her mature years. She spends much of her days napping in the nearest sunny spot, but occasionally zoomies around the house or chases fluffy toys. Both Daisy and Bella are FULL of personality. They are used to being handled, enjoy a cuddle on their own terms, and will be your best friends in exchange for a treat. These two ladies came to us after their owner sadly passed away and were very much loved. Despite being a former rescue, Bella took to her foster home straight away, and though Daisy was a little less confident to start, she has adapted very quickly and has proven to be a friendly, loving girl. Their previous home was in a rural location with a large garden and no roads, so neither Daisy nor Bella has any road sense. It's therefore essential that they be rehomed well away from main roads and traffic. Bella has been found to be in very mild renal failure but should have many more years on a renal diet (BWCR can help with the cost) as it's been diagnosed so early. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 years free insurance. Please mail us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number for our odd couple 🙂 - New
Evie
Foster in Bristol, ReservedMeet Miss Evie – A Sunbeam-Loving Sweetheart! Say hello to Miss Evie, a gentle, affectionate girl who’s ready to find her forever home. She’s the kind of cat who’ll quietly follow you from room to room, always nearby for a head scratch or a cozy cuddle when you’re winding down. One of her favorite spots? A sunny windowsill, where she can bask in the warmth and watch the world go by. She’s a pro at lounging and living the soft life. Evie also has a soft spot for cat soups—just the sound of the packet gets her little paws tapping! Calm, loving, and endlessly sweet, she’d thrive in a peaceful home where she can be spoiled with affection (and sunbeams). She'd love a garden away from busy roads/catio to keep her safe. Adopt Evie – and bring home a little sunshine with whiskers. 7 yrs old, neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Evie did have a minor bout of stress cystitis on coming into foster, which was cured with Metacam and she's been fine ever since so she'd like a calmer home just to be on the safe side. No other pets or young children. Mail us at [email protected] with your address and a contact number for a sunbathing partner 🙂
Our Longest Foster Residents
Nathan
Foster in Bristol, ReservedHappy Caturday from Nathan Fostermum seems to be very enamoured of this handsome little dude: "He is a totally gorgeous little thing, immediately settled in, no anxieties at all, happy and confident, definitely a lap cat very friendly. A great all rounder. I dont know what else to add! He is about 1, definitely needs a garden. Will be fine with kids." And that is Nathan in a nutshell! Just a gorgeous, purrfect liitle man 🙂 Neutered, chipped, had first vaccination with 5 weeks free insurance. Ping us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number and this tuxedo cutie could be yours.
Bastet and Akhenaten
Foster in BristolOur half Siamese, Egyptian-named beauties need a home together. Bastet (Grey and White) and Akhenaten (Grey) could not be sweeter companions. Beautiful Bast will follow you and around and loves to sit on or near you at all times, chatting happily as she does. Although 14 she is still playful, although a relatively unsuccessful hunter despite her interest in watching birds (she loves watching nature documentaries and magpies on cat TV!) Regal brother, Akhenaten, started off a little shyer than his confident sister, but was out looking for head rubs and human assurance within a couple of days. He is a gentle giant who will play a little fetch with you, but mainly likes to find a snuggly spot nearby to snooze away the day. Unless treats are involved of course, then it’s all systems go! Both cats love a fuss and human company, so ideally would like people that will be around the house a lot (work from home-ers, retirees etc) who they can chat to and hang out with. They have had problems in the past with being attacked by neighbourhood cats and dogs so must be homed as indoors or with access to a catio as they've been a bit traumatised by outdoors. Vaccinated, chipped and neutered with 5 weeks free insurance. Akhenaton has very minimal arthritis in a hind leg and will probably need a dental within the next 2 years (as per vet check). As these issues are not insurable, BWCR will cover their cost at Fernlea vets if treatment becomes necessary in the future. Send us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number for these Siamese if you please 🙂
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. 🙂
