Bristol And Wales Cat Rescue
Working Together To Give Cats A Second Chance
We get quite a few enquiries from people wanting indoor cats as they live in flats or on busy roads.
We are happy to home certain cats as indoor cats; indeed some are happiest this way - those which are timid, older cats who don't like to go far or cats which are deaf or may be FIV positive.
We would only home kittens as indoor pets in pairs unless someone is at home for most of the day as company, preferably both human and feline, is vital for kittens to grow into well-balanced cats.
Obviously, indoor cats will need a stimulating, fun environment to prevent them becoming bored and ultimately stressed - lots of interaction and cuddles with their owners, a window sill to bask on and from which to watch the world go by, toys - lots of them,but rotate them every few days to keep them new and exciting. Perhaps a cat tree to climb - cats like being up high and a scratch post is a must if you value your furniture! Most of all they will need your time and company.

Our current cats suitable as indoor pets are :
