Bristol And Wales Cat Rescue

We will be hosting a number of events over the year to raise money so that we can continue to provide the high standards of care that our cats and kittens currently receive. We are always looking for volunteers to help us with fundraising, car boot sales and fetes. If you could spare a few hours or would like to contribute to these events by growing, baking, knitting or donating some unwanted items for us to sell, please let us know by emailing us at bwcatrescue@hotmail.com or by getting in touch via phone no:  08442573525.

The next street collection is:

Entry to the Fair is £3 per person. Contact details above.

A huge thank you to all the stallholders and everyone who came - we had a great night and raised a magnificent £1268.68 !! Some of this money will  help buy a new pen to foster even more pusscats - so thank you from the cats too!

Summer Fayre

Unfortunately we had to compete with 2 other fetes close by and didn't get as many people pop in as we'd hoped but we still raised £500 which will enable us to buy the new pen we wanted, so thank you to everyone who came or helped or donated goods for us to sell.

Street Collections

Henleaze Tuesday March 25th 10am-2pm - Well, it was freezing cold and like a ghost town but we raised £92.74 and met some lovely people so huge thanks to the generous folks of Henleaze - sorry if our balloons ended up in your garden but it was a bit windy!

Staple Hill  Saturday April 26th 10am - 2pm - The sun shone for the first time in ages, lots of people were out and about and we collected an incredible £198.40. We also swapped a lot of cat (and dog!) stories with fellow animal lovers - thank you Staple Hill!

Bedminster East St  Thursday May 29th 10am-2pm - A shorter collection today as we had to dash off to organise our 'do' at BAWA , but in 3 hours we still managed a creditable £83.12 - not bad at all. Plus we have hopefully found a lady who will foster for us so well worth doing for that alone.

Westbury-On-Trym Friday June 27th 10am-2pm - Another miserable day weather wise but what a lot of nice people! We had a few enquiries about re-homing dogs so were able to point people in the direction of Many Tears our sister rescue in Wales so hopefully some lucky dogs will find lovely new homes and we collected £161.50  - brilliant.
