We adopted two cats from CWRS in 2022. The whole experience was positive and if I was looking for more cats, I would definitely adopt via CWRS again. The process was quick and straight forward. From completing an online form to express interest in the cats, to taking them home, took less than a week. The progress at that time involved a virtual interview and house inspection with one volunteer, to check that we were suitable to adopt, a telephone discussion with the foster 'parent' to see it the cats of interest were right for us and finally meeting the cats at their foster home. Both volunteers prioritised the cats' needs and were keen to make sure that we were the right match for the cats. The adoption fee is good value as it includes neutering, flea and worm treatment and initial insurance. The date of experience section does not allow for dates prior to 2023, so I have used in incorrect date.

After losing our dearest companion just before Christmas 2023, we decided we would take a year off cat care duties and two weeks into the new year were touched by an appeal of four Bengals needing a home. We decided we could take two and after completing a comprehensive adoption process (it gives you time to reflect on the reality and cost of taking on new cats) we met the two boys that had been matched to us and very excitedly made plans to bring them home. No need to go on about how much joy and happiness the cats bring us (that goes without saying). When dealing with Cat Watch Rescue Shelter, every person you are in contact with has animal welfare as their top priority; a deep love for the animals they rescue is the only way to explain the care and support they so generously expend on every furry body that comes their way.

Our experience of adopting a kitten through cat watch rescue shelter was wonderful. They were so helpful in every way and made the process of adopting as easy as possible. I know they will be there if we ever need any help as she settles in and it’s great to know she was cared for so wonderfully before we took her on. Thank you cat watch rescue!

I visited cat watch in the early days when they rescued a mother & kittens on a site where I work. The dedication of Marnie & her team are exceptional, they will go to extreme lengths to make sure that any vulnerable or homeless cats & kittens are looked after. If you are looking to adopt a cat or kitten I would recommend you call cat watch, all adoptees are neutered & chipped, all you have to do is give them a loving forever home.

The dedicated team at Cat Watch guided me to a perfect match. They do incredible work and never turn a kitty in need away, often travelling many miles to undertake a rescue. Really special people.

We've just adopted two amazing kittens from Cat Watch and we couldn't be happier. Cat Watch are amazing and set us up perfectly as new owners. All the vaccinations, spaying/neutering and micropchipping was done for us and the foster was so helpful in setting us up to take the kittens.
