Cat Rescue / Adoption
CWRS has 55 cats including 39 kittens in its shelter.
Please adopt, don't shop!!!
Here are just a few of our kittens currently in care.
We are a volunteer run charity with expenses around £9000 a month. Cats ready for adoption can be viewed on our CatChat page. If you see a cat that might be a great family member for you, please show your interest here.
It's also worth a look at our Facebook page where charity news and some of our furry felines can be seen.
Follow the adventures of Picklerick our mascot!
Picklerick was abandoned as a six week old kitten. The CWRS shelter rescued him and even though he has no vision he roams freely returning to CWRS for love (and dinner!) each day. He is the bravest most resilient cat and the poor dear is currently feeling very ill. Lots of love is being sent to him and hopefully all will be well. Please goto www.facebook.com/blindpicklerick

We’ve made mistakes. We’ve learned. We’re still learning.
And we’re proud of every step, stumble, and triumph.
💚 Proud of our work with feral colonies and our TNR programme
💚 Proud to specialise in FIP treatment, hand-rearing neonates, and rehabilitating traumatised cats
💚 Proud to place the “unadoptables” in long-term foster homes
💚 Proud to offer palliative care to cats who need comfort, not time
💚 Proud to educate on viruses and illnesses that often go unseen
But most of all we’re proud of our resilient, hilarious, unstoppable team.
None of this would be possible without our volunteers.
You are the backbone of Cat Watch.
We laugh together, cry together, lift each other up, and fight for every cat.
💥 Special shout-out to our awesome Trustees:
You kick me up the arse when I need it, and pull me out of the gutter when I want to give up. Thank you.
To every volunteer—thank you for being wonderful, selfless, committed, and absolutely bloody marvellous. I don’t say it enough. You are everything.
To our supporters—your loyalty humbles us.
Your food, sponsorships, raffle madness, and donations keep us going.
Your passion pushes us forward. THANK YOU 💚
Here’s to the next 5 years… and our 10-year anniversary!
Because it all started with a cat called Mumma, and a handful of tiny kittens. 🐾
12 Newborn Kittens Dumped—Now Safe at Cat Watch
Yesterday evening, a truck driver popped in for coffee—and returned to find a cardboard box dumped in his cab. Inside were 12 tiny kittens, abandoned and crying out for help. He rushed them to Medivet, who immediately called us, because when no one else can take them—we do.
5 kittens are just 1–2 days old, umbilical cords still attached.
Another 5 are 3–4 days, eyes just beginning to open.
2 older kittens, around 3 weeks old, are eating solids but still need help to toilet.
Their weights range from just 80g to 155g. But every single one ate well, toileted, and snuggled into warm blankets. They’re fighters. And they’re safe now.
What kind of world dumps newborns like rubbish?
What kind of world rallies to save them?
We choose the second. We choose compassion. We choose action.
If you believe in that world too, please help us keep going. These babies will need round-the-clock care, formula, heat pads, vet checks—and love. Lots of love.
Their collars are orange. Their future is bright.

This new law is intended to help reunite lost cats with their owners and reduce the number of cats entering shelters. As a cat rescue, we strongly recommend that all cat owners comply with the law and have their cats microchipped. Those who fail to comply may be fined up to £500. We are here to help you with any questions you have regarding the microchipping process.
