Cat Watch Wilts Rescue

About us

Every cat at CWRS is a sentient being with a personality, feelings, intrinsic worth and value and will be treated with care and respect in a non-judgmental and safe environment. All cats deserve to be pain-free. Our mission is to rescue cats who have been abandoned, are stray or feral and through our network of volunteers and fosterers provide a safe environment and offer the opportunity for rehabilitation if necessary. Including veterinary care where required and every cat will receive vaccinations, neutering and microchipping prior to rehoming. Each cat is treated as an individual and we will assess their emotional and physical needs. If that requires an alternative lifestyle we will endeavour to address this also. Cats unsuitable for re-homing will undergo ‘T N R’ – trap, neuter, release. CWRS is available all year round and is 100% focused on the well being of our feline friends. Wherever possible we will never turn a cat in need away, we will firstly establish their homeless status and if we cannot help at that time we will advise and signpost to an appropriate organisation. We will always do whatever it takes to ensure they receive the correct lifestyle to make them happy and that is what every cat deserves.

Our adoption policy

A cat can live for up to 20 years. Can you commit to a cat for life? No cat deserves to be abandoned by its family. Can you provide a safe, clean and loving environment? Will you vaccinate, flea and worm treat, provide veterinary care when required, decent food, cat litter, toys, scratching posts, places to sleep? Can you keep a kitten inside until 10 months of age? Can you keep an adult cat inside for at least 1 month? Generally cats require outside access in a safe area which could also be a Catio or a pet fenced garden. Being an indoor cat is usually in the cat's best interest only when there is a strong need, e.g. disability. However, cats do vary so each adoption request is judged on its own merits. Do you have time to help a cat settle in? Rescue cats have all been through some kind of trauma and need time and patience to make them feel safe. If you answered yes to the questions asked we would love to hear from you. By choosing to adopt you are giving a rescue cat another chance at being part of a family and all of us at Cat Watch thank you. We do home with families with children but we are selective.
