Cat Watch Rescue ​Shelter

Our mission is to rescue cats who are abandoned, stray or feral. Through our network of volunteers and fosterers we provide a safe, loving environment and offer the opportunity for rehoming or rehabilitation. This includes veterinary care where required and every cat will receive vaccinations, neutering and microchipping prior to rehoming.

About us

In August 2019 Cat Watch Rescue Shelter (CWRS) was founded by Marnie Buckland and has to date rescued, re-homed or reunited over 1000 cats and kittens.

Cat Watch came into its own through Covid – in the early days of the pandemic there was no organisation caring for these cats locally, Cat Watch worked through the pandemic and never turned a cat away! From a few pens in the garden the organisation has come a long way in a short time. Charitable status was achieved, and a network of volunteers, fosterers and helpers established.

Cats are taken in, given appropriate veterinary attention, neutered if not already, vaccinated, chipped and suitable new homes found.

Core Values ​​Cats in need will be treated in a timely manner, firstly establishing their homeless status. Every cat at CWRS is an individual being with a personality, feelings, intrinsic worth and value, and will be treated with care and respect in a non-judgemental, safe environment. All deserve to be pain-free. Each is treated as an individual, addressing its emotional and physical needs.

Cats are re-homed as soon as appropriate. Cats unsuitable for re-homing will undergo ‘T N R’ – trap, neuter, release.

All veterinary issues will be treated in an appropriate manner provided that this is in the cat’s best interests, and within sensible financial constraints. Euthanasia is a last resort for unmanageable cases.

CWRS is not a re-homing centre, but may be able to help you if you need to find a new home for your kitty. We do not often have the facilities to take them into the shelter unless this is a dire emergency!

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.
