Catteries:
We often get asked to recommend catteries by our adopters; we would only endorse those we have personal experience of and know to have the highest standards of care - only the best for our kitties!

Home sitting:
If you don't like to leave your cat at a cattery when you go away, or if you have a new kitten and don't want it to be left at home all day, we can recommend Bristol Pet Sitters who provide a home sitting service - amongst other things. One of our volunteers works for Bristol Pet Sitters so we know it is suitable for our cats!
They cover the Bristol and South Gloucestershire area.
Rescue Centres
Many Tears: http://www.manytears.co.uk/ Golden Lion Rescue Near Merthyr Tydfil, Golden Lion is a family run rescue taking in any animal that needs help but primarily cats and kittens. They are entirely self-funded and do a wonderful job in an area where there is little help for animals. LOOKING FOR A SMALL FURRY?? One of our fosterers also runs a small animal rescue specialising in rabbits and guinea pigs - midgets-animal-sanctuary.web.com Veterinary surgeries
Many Tears is a family run rescue based near Llanelli, amongst many others they take in puppies and ex-breeding dogs from the puppy farms and find them loving homes. They have a small cattery too but find it hard to re-home cats in rural Wales so we bring them to Bristol in the hope they can find their happy endings over the bridge.
