OUR DETAILS
Avon Cat Rescue has been taking in, caring for and re-homing cats and kittens since the 1960’s. Over the years the old pens have been upgraded, enlarged and re-built so that we now have purpose-built, heated accommodation for over 90 cats. About half are our ’pensioners’-the elderly, feral, disabled, or difficult cats we are unable to home. These cats are sponsored by supporters who give £20 a year to help towards the cost of these permanent residents.(This was increased from £18 in March 2012) Other cats are put in our purpose-built homes while waiting to find new homes are funded by supporters. As soon as a space becomes vacant, we send for the next cat on our waiting list list, so we can help as many as possible.
We raise funds throughout the year with 3 Bazaars in Welford-on-Avon, stalls at various other events and sales of other items as tea-towels, canvas bags, notelets and pens. We produce 3 newsletters each year.
Our main aim is to give every cat another chance-either of a home, or sanctuary with us.
We always help if we can.

OUR POLICY
OUR HISTORY
Brandy a resident
Here at Avon Cat Rescue, we take our responsibilities as cat lovers seriously.
Our policy is:
- We aim to give every cat another chance.
- We never turn away a homeless cat when we have the space to accommodate it.
- We never put a cat down unless it is seriously ill.
- We always take back a cat we have homed, for whatever reason.
- We neuter and spay cats of 6 months or over.
- We have no set charge but expect a realistic donation from those taking cats and those bringing them in.
- We do not board, but have taken cats temporarily in emergencies e.g. owners in hospital, owners evicted from their homes etc.
- We aim to follow up every cat homed to check all is well, either by phone or letter.
