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

Jeff
Foster in ChippenhamJinger Jeff, the goodest boi 💜"Where do I start with Jeff, little Jeffy, Jef-fah-fah, Monsieur le Jeff. This cuddly, silly, snuggle monster is the sweetest, daftest, ginger boy to ever borrow the collective ginger cat brain cell.He has been an absolutely joyous addition to our household for nearly three years, however when we were blessed with the birth of our son we ruined Jeff's life. To put it plainly he isn't happy.As I'm sure you can tell from his many nicknames he is very a beloved member of our family and we are so sad to have had to make this decision. We know in our heart of hearts that he deserves to live his absolute best cat life and the circumstances he needs for that are with another wonderful home where he can be the shining star he deserves to be."Jeff loves to be the centre of attention and as close to your face as possible for all the snuggles and cuddles so no good for any allergy sufferers! Somewhat needy, he would love his hoomans home for part of the day and no other cats or young children as they're far too much competition in the attention stakes. A garden away from busy roads completes his wishlist, that and to be the centre of your universe!!Neutered, chipped plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance, Jeff is being fostered in Chippenham where we don't have a tame vet so BWCR will cover the cost of his vaccinations at Fernlea vets. - New
Lightning and Skitts
Foster in BristolLightning and Skitts are a little discombobulated right now. Their owner, since they were kittens, sadly died and they were home alone for a while until a relative contacted us

They're not used to children or other pets.Lightning, 12 years, and his girlfriend Skitts, 14 yrs, are looking for a quiet life with someone who can give them lots of attention as they love a cuddle and a fuss.They would like a safe garden to potter in - having only been used to living in a quiet cul de sac they're not used to traffic."This lovely pair have had the all clear from the vet and are neutered, chipped, had first vaccination plus come with 5 weeks free insurance. 
Midnight
Foster in Bristol, ReservedWe seem to be having a run of black cats but hey, we like a challenge 💪. Simba, Shadow 1 and Shadow 2 all left the building this week, so please welcome Midnight 💜He has a sad story- an owner severely neglecting himself and having to be moved to temporary accommodation by his safeguarding team, Midnight was pretty much left in one room to amuse himself.That must have been hard because this boy just loves attention, so much so that this is the only usable photo - the others are all big black nose boops!!He's such a little sweetie, he purrs instantly, comes running for a fuss, loves all the scritches and scratches he can get.He can be startled by sudden movements and noises, the rustling of a food bag behind him will panic him momentarily but that will stop over time.He shares with two oldies and ignores them so could be fine with another nice cat but we think a quieter home with no young children whilst he gets back on his paws.He's about two yrs and would love a garden away from busy roads.Had the snip, chip and first jab (having to be creative rather than unprofessional here because of FB algorithms!) and comes with the usual 5 weeks free insurance.
Our Longest Foster Residents
Andy and Saint
Foster in BristolSaint (tortie and white) and Andy, aptly named by the vet as they were caught on an industrial site on St Andrews Road. They were older kittens when they were caught and took a while to trust us. They are now both very affectionate, with Saint being the bravest and coming for cuddles first. We're not sure Andy will ever be a lapcat but he likes to sit next to you and enjoys lots of attention!They are gentle cats that like the company of other cats, they love to play together and will spend as much time as you can spare chasing a feather on a stick.They need to stay together as this lovely brother and sister are really bonded, they have been in foster most of their lives so will have no road sense and need a garden away from busy roads.Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus come with 5 weeks free insurance.
Molly
Foster in Bristol🎶 Good golly Miss Molly 🎶Molly is a playful 2 year old who is looking for new staff of the human kind (she gets a bit jealous of furry companions). She would like a chef, entertainer, lap provider and protector….As a pure white cat, Molly is beautiful, but with her snowy appearance comes some responsibility - she will definitely need sun cream on her ears and cute little pink nose to prevent her getting skin cancer.She loves company and to play chase and capture her ‘prey’. When tired, Molly likes to snooze near you and will sometimes treat you to a lap cuddle if you’re still. Molly is still very kitten like and would be better in a home with older children or just adults as she can change very quickly from wanting to play to letting you know she’s had enough!She's not crazy about being picked up but will jump up and nuzzle you and give you nose boops. Unexpected noises still send her squeezing under the sofa but she is growing more confident all the time and can usually be bribed out quite quickly with treats!She has lovely, odd coloured eyes and may well be deaf on the blue-eyed side but it's very hard to tell!Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance.She has one cracked tooth which the vets want to leave alone at the moment but, if it causes any issues, BWCR will fund the extraction at Fernlea vets.
Milo
Foster in Bristol, Reserved
Milo the rough diamond! Milo is a big boy who will be 2 in July so he’s still a youngster and is boisterous and playful. He loves a fuss and is happy to snuggle up on your lap when he has finished rushing around and playing with all his toys.He did live with a dog and could probably do with learning how to "cat" a bit more as well as refining his manners – he can bite, although with a warning from foster mum it’s getting less frequent. For this reason he wouldn’t be suitable for a home with young children. We don’t know what he’s like with other cats but a home with someone with cat experience to do a bit of training with him will make him into the perfect genteman.Neutered, chipped, vaccinated plus comes with 5 weeks free insurance.
