Bristol And Wales Cat Rescue

Before we rehome a cat or kitten we will arrange to come and see you in your home, not to evaluate you or your home but simply to discuss with you all the costs and responsibility involved in adopting a cat or kitten. We will also need to take into account other pets, children, your location and what sort of cat you are looking for.

It may sound a bit intimidating but all our homecheckers are friendly and informative and it is more than likely you will end up swapping cat stories!

Having survived the homecheck you will then be invited to view some likely candidates at a fosterer's home. If you decide the cat isn't right for you, don't worry, just say so and we will do our best to find you the right one. However, if you like the cat and (s)he likes you and you have all the equipment (litter tray, cat carrier etc) you can take the cat immediately. We do however ask for a minimum donation of £30. Please view our How We Use Donations page to find out what the donation is for.

All our cats are neutered at 5 months and microchipped at 12 weeks and some have also had their vaccinations. We also offer discounted neutering and vaccinations at our partner veterinary surgeries within the Bristol and Weston areas. As we rehome kittens from 8 weeks of age we will come to your home and chip them free of charge when they are big enough, again within the Bristol and Weston areas.

After 12 weeks another home visit will be arranged just to make sure everything is alright. If you have any questions or problems in the meantime, please feel free to contact the foster home or the homing line.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET OUR OLDER CATS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY OVERLOOKED - THEY MIGHT NOT BE AS CUTE AS A FLUFFY KITTEN BUT THEY ARE LOVING AND GENTLE AND SO DESERVE WONDERFUL HOMES IN WHICH TO SEE OUT THEIR RETIREMENT YEARS.

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR GOLDEN OLDIES ON THE 'SENIOR KITTIZENS' PAGE.

 

 

BEING HOMECHECKED - A cat being homechecked means that someone has expressed an interest in that cat and wishes to adopt pending a successful homecheck.

We operate a strict first come, first served system and no-one is allowed to view cats without first being homechecked or producing a vet's letter of recommendation nor will we let people see a cat that is being homechecked for somebody else.

Of course sometimes the homecheck will fail, or, on meeting the cat, people find it's not quite right for them so the cat then becomes re-available - we update this site at least once a day so please keep looking if there is a specific cat that you are interested in.

We always have cats on our waiting list to come in - where possible we try to re-home direct from the original owner to spare the cats a stay in foster which can be very stressful for them. We also have cats waiting in our sister rescue centres in Wales so if there isn't one that appeals to you please keep looking as the situation changes almost daily.

CAN YOU HELP DANDY, TIGGER AND JAFFA?

These poor boys have been in foster for far too long; what they desperately need are homes of their own where they can feel loved and secure. Yes, they may well hide away for a few weeks but after the rotten start they've had, who could blame them. With time and patience they will gain confidence and become loving little friends; surely there is someone willing to give these boys a chance?

JAFFA HAS FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME AT LAST!

TIGGER HAS ALSO GONE TO A LOVELY NEW HOME - ONLY POOR DANDY STILL WAITING

 

Dandy                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

  

Dandy is 3 years old and has come from a multi-cat household. The owner could no longer keep his 20 cats and they were all taken to the vet to be put to sleep - unfortunately by the time we found out only 5 remained. Dandy has not been well socialised and is a nervous boy who hides away, all he needs is love and time. He would be suitable as an indoor cat as he isn't very brave. He gets on fine with other cats but would prefer a quiet home with no young children. Dandy is neutered and chipped.

 

SPECIAL APPEAL FOR BRUNO

Bruno is a lovely boy who is FIV+, he was going to be put to sleep but as he is in excellent health he was saved at the last minute.

He is very friendly and vocal and loves humans but isn't keen on other cats. As an FIV cat he needs to be kept indoors and should live a long and happy life. He is a handsome tabby of about 2-3 years old.

 

Julie

3 year old Julie was found on a campsite and it looks like everyone has been feeding this friendly girl as she's quite well upholstered! She enjoys fuss and cuddles and is just so affectionate; she would love to be someone's special girl. Julie is spayed, chipped and vaccinated.

Tara

Tara has been given up as her owner is allergic to cats, she has been well loved and spoilt and is very affectionate. Tara is around 2 years old, spayed,chipped and vaccinated.She would be fine as an indoor cat as she doesn't like going out at all!

Fiver

Stunning, fluffy, apricot coloured boy - half Persian, Fiver is about 8 years old and very friendly and very handsome. He's started to boss the girl cats around though and the fur has started to fly. He is looking for a home where he can be the only spoilt boy - he is neutered and chipped.

 

Brucie (female!)

Brucie was thought to be a boy at first and the name stuck! She is, in fact, a beautiful little girl, very lively and kittenish at only 2 years old. Brucie will play fetch like a dog but loves her cuddles as well. She is too 'in your face' for the other (older) resident cat and her owners are reluctantly giving her up. Brucie is fully vaccinated, spayed and will be chipped shortly.

Snoopy

Snoopy is a big soft boy who loves having his head rubbed and purrs like a train. He also likes hiding under blankets although he's not particularly shy. He's a lovely boy but he will tell you when he's had enough so best with no young children. Snoopy is neutered, chipped and vaccinated. BEING HOMECHECKED

Minnie

You're having a laugh!!!

Minnie is another young mum looking for a loving home now her kittens have moved out. She's about 1 year old and very friendly and affectionate, she loves cuddles and attention and would like to be someone's special girl again. Minnie is chipped and spayed.

Maggie

Pretty, fluffy, black female about one year old, Maggie is very affectionate and likes to chat. She turned up on someone's doorstep but they can't keep her. She's having a makeover as she's a bit matted through living rough and has suffered a bit from flea bites - she will soon be looking a real glamourpuss once again!

Buttons, Crew and Tiny the girl
