In the charity's own words
Avon Cat Rescue has been active for over 50 years. At premises in South Warwickshire, relinquished and stray cats receive sanctuary and care prior to rehoming. The charity does not practice euthanasia except on medical grounds and with veterinary advice, therefore non-rehomable cats may become permanent residents. The charity operates locally and, to a lesser degree, in adjacent counties.
