Our little Bonbon is still looking for her special person 🖤🤍

Bonnie is a very sweet natured little floofball and has a lovely temperament, she's just a bit shy to begin and needs a little time to get to know you. She’s not a lap cat but she's definitely a head bumper and enjoys settling in next to you to watch a bit of TV or have a snooze. She becomes more active in the evenings and enjoys chasing string - not bad for a 12 year old! . She especially loves tickles on her head. She needs a quiet home plus a garden away from busy roads as she does enjoy a little potter in the fresh air.

Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance.
Bonnie by name, bonnie by nature - ping us an email to [email protected] with your address and a contact number, thank you :)

Another missing puss - please share and help to get her home, thank you.

Our cat Poppy is missing since 21st June. She’s an indoor cat and we think she may have escaped through an open window. She’s all black but has a white patch underneath and some white hairs on her chest. She’s microchipped, neutered and is very timid and scared of strangers. Please can you check your gardens, bushes, sheds and garages as she may be hiding there.
Elmgrove Rd, Fishponds area.

Happy Caturday from Cookie 🧡

"Meet Cookie – A Wild-at-Heart Companion Looking for His Perfect Match 🐾

Cookie is a striking 2 1/2-year-old Arabian Mau with a big personality and a loyal heart. Originally rescued from the streets of Dubai, he’s now looking for a forever home where he can truly be himself — playful, affectionate, and a little bit wild.

🌟 What Makes Cookie Special:
Affectionate & Loyal – Cookie is a real softie with his humans. He loves lap time, purrs like a motor, and will follow you from room to room — and all around the garden — like a little dog (unless he’s napping, eating, or out adventuring).
Clever & Playful – When he wants to play, he’ll drag his toys into the room you’re in to get your attention. He’s always thinking, always engaging, and always up for fun.
Chatty & Social – Cookie always announces himself with a cheerful meow when he enters a room, just to say hello. He loves being part of the action.
Food-Motivated & Bright – He’s got a lot to say, especially around mealtimes, and he’s incredibly sharp. You’ll never be bored with Cookie around.
🐾 A Bit of Wild Still in Him
As an Arabian Mau, Cookie has retained some of his natural instincts. He’s very territorial and has been getting into fights with neighbouring cats. We believe he now sees them more as intruders than rivals, which has been stressful for everyone involved. He’s not suited to indoor-only life, so we’re looking for a rural or semi-rural home with no nearby cats.

Cookie also has a wild streak — every now and then, he gets a very specific look on his face, and when he does, he may bite. It’s not out of aggression, but more like a momentary instinct kicking in. The good news is, he snaps out of it quickly, and we’ve learned to spot the signs before it happens. He’s also learned not to do it to us (well, mostly!). His new owner will need patience, awareness, and a good sense of humour — ideally someone with experience of spirited or high-energy cats.

🏡 Cookie’s Ideal Home:
A countryside or rural setting with safe outdoor access
No other cats nearby (and ideally no other pets)
No young children (due to his tendency to bite when overstimulated)
Someone who appreciates a cat with spirit and will give him the time and space he needs
Cookie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and full of love. We’ll continue to care for him until the right home comes along — he deserves a place where he can be his full, fabulous self.

If you’re looking for a faithful, fun, and fiercely unique companion, Cookie might just be your perfect match. 🐱💛

Owner found!!! It seems the neighbour was mistaken - we've been caught like this before, being given incorrect information 🙄 It's so important (and a legal requirement) to post all found cats. He'll be going home tomorrow :)

🚨 Does this little puss belong to anyone? 🚨

We've been told by neighbours that he's been abandoned - his owner ĥas died, the son is in prison and nobody is feeding him or even putting out water. When collected, he was sleeping outside an obviously empty flat. He is chipped but no UK chip companies recognise the number so it may be a foreign chip.

He's safe with us but we want to make sure he hasn't got an owner looking for him!
Warden Road, Bedminster.

Thank you. :)

Adopted :)
Miguel is 9 years old with a lovely affectionate nature. He absolutely loves spending time with people and will curl up on your lap for some strokes and a snooze as soon as you sit down. He loves cuddles and belly strokes, and enjoys a bit of play time as well.

He was originally given up by his owner as he clashed with their other cat so definitely needs to be an only puss now. He's such a delightful character, just full of affection.

He likes a variety of food and would love a garden away from busy roads. He's not used to children though may be ok with older teenagers who would respect his boundaries but essentially he's looking for a quieter life where he will get all the attention.
Neutered, chipped , vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance.

Happy tail for Jimmy and Jess ❤️❤️

Found living rough in a petrol station in Romania, this lovely pair were rescued by Simona and Marian and spent months in a dog crate waiting for their freedom ride to us.
It was worth it though! Jess has found herself a sunny spot in the conservatory where she loves to ekk ekk ekk at the pigeons and Jimmy loves rolling in the garden showing off his gorgeous tummy and ...they have all those fields beyond too.
Have a wonderful life little pusscats, you deserve every minute :)

Now reserved. :)
No applications as yet but Mitzy hasn't lost hope that her person is out there 😍

Mitzy is a truly special lady - elegant and sweet natured, with a tiny bit of spice. She's a vocal and engaging friend who loves to be where the action is (or at least where you are). She enjoys following me round our home, will be in whatever room I am working from, coming in for the odd snuggle.
She is 9 years old but has a playful kittenish side and a wonderfully expressive way of letting you know when she’s ready to play - often with a polite little scream after her nap. She loves wet food, but her real soft spot treat is plain cooked chicken. Lasers, feather wands, and toys that let her chase and pounce are all firm favourites - she's been pretty much an indoor puss but would love a catio or garden away from busy roads.
Mitzy came from a home where children didn’t treat her with the kindness she deserved, and before meeting us came from an overwhelming vet visit so she’s learning to trust again. We suspect her sass is her way of keeping herself safe, and she thrives in an environment that respects her boundaries. She’s big on consent - give her a moment to sniff you, go slow, and she’ll reward you with cheek rubs and back pats. She’s not a lap cat just yet, but she does love to sit on your chest and purr her heart out when the world is quiet, either last thing at night or first thing in the morning.
Mitzy is looking for a calm, adult-only home (older, gentle teens might be fine) with no dogs or other cats, where ideally someone is around most of the day - she thrives on company and would love to share her days and be best friends with someone who works from home or is retired. She finds comfort in being close at night, so a home where she is welcome to sleep in the bedroom would suit her perfectly.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, emotionally intelligent companion who will grow into your heart and bring personality, charm, and a little spark of drama to your life — Mitzy might just be your perfect match

Neutered, chipped and vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance.

🎉🎉25 lucky cats adopted in June 🎉🎉

Thank you everyone!!

Adopted :)
This handsome little dude is JJ. Full name JJ Sploot. Voted most likely to appear on a wanted poster. He’ll pilfer your Dreamies from a closed drawer then look you in the eyes while you’re telling him off, and steal your heart too!
He’s got something for everyone. He’s glossy AND floofy. He’s more tail than cat, and he’s 200% purrsonality, 80% head bumping smoocher and 40% mischief and mayhem. (No maths qualifications though!)
He’s on your lap the second you sit down and your view when you open your eyes in the morning will be him on your chest (see photo for evidence 🤣). He purrs like a motor but has the tiniest trill for a miaow. He does have a fine set of thunder paws though. You can hear his zoomies from the next room.
JJ loves to be stroked , and will give your hands a good wash. He does nibble sometimes but a firm no will stop that. He’s only 7 months old and still learning.
He’s a handsome jet black void with big amber eyes. He is wearing a pair of tiny white furry Speedos but you’re not allowed to laugh at them. He has his dignity!
This gorgeous boy will want to sleep in your room, and will need lots of company. He could
live with children old enough to teach him that fingers and toes are friends, not toys. He’s quite the attention seeker so would be best as an only pet, not sharing the adoration.
He will need a safe garden on a quiet road, and a cat flap, and would benefit from staying in at night. The Dreamies will need to be well secured and the cuddles plentiful.
He’s neutered, chipped and has had his first vaccination. All he needs now is his forever home.

Well this is annoying and disappointing. :(

Trixie's adoption has basically been cancelled by a vet who has never even seen her.

Her adopters met her, loved her and arranged a date to collect her then we got this message yesterday : "I'm very sorry to say that after a long chat with our vet we do not feel able to take Trixie on. She's such sweet girl but there are serious concerns about the long term implications for her obesity."

Our vets, who actually have met her and examined her, aren't concerned about her weight as she's quite a big cat anyway and will soon lose some lbs when she's allowed outside and is more active again.

So back to the drawing board for our "chonky", "plumpcious" gorgeous girl - it's not like we tried to hide her size at all 😂

Her owner took her on from a neighbour and had her for around 9 years until he suddenly had to leave the country recently. Another little puss who didn't have a clue what was happening and took a few weeks to settle.

"Hi I’m Trixie, approx 12 years old. My foster mum says I’m sweet but spicy 🌶️. I was very shy at first and didn’t know how to act so I wasn’t the friendliest cat but over the weeks I have learned to trust and now I love to climb into bed at night and be stroked to sleep with a huge purrrrrr .
I love to play chase with my toys and love to chase the laser pen.

I don’t much like to be picked up and "breaking news", I am now a lap cat - see video in comments!!! I would be best suited to a home where I can come and go with no other pets or young children. I really, really don’t like mum's other 🐈cats!

I would love a garden away from busy roads to explore as mum says I’m very eager to get out into the big outside world again.

I have been to the vets and have a clean bill of health apart from being a bit chonky!

In time, with trust and love, I will become your best friend and follow you everywhere."

Happy Caturday from Daisy and her gorgeous belly floof which she likes showing off 🤣

Just emailing as we adopted Daisy from you a few weeks ago - she's settling in very well! I've attached a couple of pictures, as you can see she's made herself very at home!
