Cat Rescue / Adoption
Please adopt, don't shop!!!
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.
If you have adopted a cat recently you must check out our Cat Watch 3-3-3 Settling In Guide !
The Cat Watch treasure table is awakening… and it needs offerings please.
We’re gathering tombola prizes to power our next fundraiser for the cats who rely on us.
If you’ve got unused gifts, bottles of booze, treats, or shiny surprises, we’ll gladly rehome them to the prize table.
Please pop us a message to donate, the cats thank you with many imaginary head‑boops.
Follow the latest 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 he looks for every attemp to escape our supervision and to cause trouble throughout Andover. Please goto www.facebook.com/blindpicklerick

🐆 Become specialists in hybrid breeds, rehab & rehoming of Bengals & Savannahs

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. 🐾
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.
