Lovely kittens picked up

 ❤️💕We had an emergency acceptance today of four absolutely gorgeous little kittens.  We had to quickly shuffle things around to make room but we and the lady who contacted us were so concerned for their safety as the mother cat had died and the owner had been taken into hospital.  The owners Daughter took the kittens to her home to look after but had dog that could have potentially injured them - or worse. 😱 


Despite all that they had been through today they are very happy to climb up onto laps and have cuddles 🥰 absolutely gorgeous xx


We will be getting them to the vet for health checks etc and we will start to take applications from potential homes, so please - if you may be interested in adopting - please send us a private message and we will explain the adoption process and home visit procedure etc.  


As there are 4 kittens it would be lovely if they could be homed in pairs ❤️💕 

Thank you so much 💕❤️😻😻😻😻xxx





Please email us 

catwelcardiff@hotmail.co.uk if you would like to know the rehoming process. X

In our news.....

 ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️We have some gorgeous little babies in care that need hand rearing after being separated from their Mums - we took them all in at different times from feral colonies in the area and we assume that they are from different litters. All are different sizes and weights and are all being fed Cimicat kitten formula.


It's a massive commitment to care for these vulnerable tiny babies and they need feeding every 2-3 hours around the clock.  


They also need to be stimulated to wee and poo and their eyes have recently opened and need bathing to keep them clear.


They are absolutely adorable and are real little fighters - we are doing everything we can to ensure that they grow into healthy little cats 💕❤️


We have waiting lists for supporters who have been home checked and are ready to adopt kittens so these little babies will most likely go straight into loving permanent homes when they are old enough.


We thought you may like to see one of the little ones being fed. ❤️💕


Thank you to all of our kind supporters who donate, volunteer and adopt from Catwel 😻 without your help we would not be able to care for little ones like this 💕❤️xxxx



An Introduction to Catwel Cardiff

Catwel (Cardiff) has been a Registered Charity for many years, we endeavour to find homes for, and foster, stray and abandoned cats with a view to re-homing them to new permanent and loving homes. We have an excellent and committed board of trustees who take their responsibilities seriously. We have a wonderful group of fund raisers who consistently come to all our fund raising events, and a devoted team of volunteers who give their time freely, to help in our Charity Shop.   Then, most important of all, are the people who foster the cats in our care, without whose help the charity would not exist. Last, but not least, are our supporters who donate money and goods to enable us to pay our bills.

Thanks to all these wonderful people, We feel our charity has become an established fact in the South Wales area and hopefully will continue to go from strength to strength.

Sponsor a Catwel cat today - You know you want to

Catwel has  permanent resident cats who, for one reason or another, are considered unsuitable for adoption. All these cats have ongoing social or medical problems.

We endeavour to provide them with as normal a life as possible, providing food, litter and veterinary treatment whenever possible.

By making a regular monthly donation of £3, £4 or £5 (or more!) you can help contribute to our costs throughout the year, and help make a real difference to the lives of these needy cats.

Sponsorship would make a lovely gift for a feline loving friend, relative or even yourself. In return you will receive a copy of Catwel's newsletter. You can also ask for a photograph of your cat.

So, please - help a cat in need today. Have a look at the cats on this section of the website and then contact us for an application form on catwelcardiff@yahoo.com stating you would like to be a sponsor and give your full name and address please so we can send a form to you. Thank you



This is our sponsor cat summer enclosure. Purpose built for these special cats.


This is our little Princess. She came to Catwel in 2012 having been returned from a previous home. We again managed to re-home her in 2013 but again she was returned due to being extremely shy. She is confident with us her carers but is a little complex and requires a whole lot of patience but we love her. She is now 4 years old.

If you cant have a cat why not sponsor one its the next best thing. Thank You


This our lovely Gypsy who came with the property. He has got to be 10+years and is now showing his age. He loves the nice sunny weather in the garden but mostly stays in the warm in the cold months of the year.

Penny was found on a main road in the city.

She was picked up by a kind passer-by and taken for emergency veterinary treatment. Penny had a prolapsed bowel. After surgery to stitch the bowel in to place, Penny was discharged.

Unfortunately the condition continued and after months of operations and trips to the vets there seemed to be no sign of improvement.

Penny was so loving and playful and perfectly fit in every other way. Her fosterer just could not give up – the only other option was euthanasia.

After numerous dietary changes and prescribed tranquillisers Penny seemed to improve as she grew. She is now 17 years old – but still thinks she is a kitten!


If you cant have a cat why not sponsor one its the next best thing. Thank You

Amazing Breaking News!!!!!!!!! Jodie has been homed

Our Big lovely Jodie has a new home. Jodie has been with Catwel for over a year and was often overlooked due to a younger cats and kittens getting homes. She originally came into Catwel being suspected of being pregnant and had a dreadful flea allergy. She was homed quite quickly but sadly returned as she didn't get on with the existing dog in the home. She was then homed a few months later but again was returned due to the lady having an allergy to cats. She touched the hearts of everyone who met her but sadly no-one took her home. Now she has managed to secure a wonderful home with a lovely lady who thinks she is gorgeous (as do we).

Here is a picture of Jodie with Helen receiving a big kiss goodbye
