Welcome to the website of Avon Cat Rescue.

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 space to accommodate it.
• We never put a cat down unless it is seriously ill.
• We always take back any cat we have homed, for whatever reason.
• We neuter/spay all cats of 6 months and 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.

Hollies, one of our new Homing blocks. Built in 2003 and paid for by our supporters.

On this web site, you will find information relating to our appeals, our shelters and homes and our resident cats, as well as our cats available for homing. We also have a very useful "hints and tips" section which gives cat owners a head start in getting to know their cats a bit better. We aim to update this website regularly with news and any new arrivals along with other useful information.

We are heavily reliant on donations to cover our expenses which are in excess of £40,000 per year. We have acquired some very loyal supporters and friends over the years, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued help and support, as without you, our achievements to date would have been made an awful lot harder and possibly may not have happened at all.

We are always in need of blankets, cat food, kitchen rolls and bubble-wrap. If you live near enough please leave any of these at the Rescue. If you live at a distance from us perhaps you might consider buying an occasional savings stamp from somewhere like Tescos that we can convert into food.

All that remains to say is we hope you like our website, please recommend it to your friends and colleagues, and if you can make a donation as well, then we will guarantee that anything received will not be wasted and will be put to excellent use in ensuring the safety, comfort and wellbeing of the hundreds of cats that we help each year.

Once again, thank-you for visiting our web site
