Purrfect Paws Feline Welfare

Purrfect Paws Feline Welfare is a registered charity (1074886) run by dedicated volunteers providing rescue adoption services in the PO postcode area. This is not a cat cafe with permanent residents—it's a genuine rescue hub where cats needing forever homes are the focus. The team operates a no-destroy policy: every cat receives care until rehoming unless suffering. They also support Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) efforts to help community cats. Adoption fees are transparent: £150 (adopters cover vaccinations) or £170 (Purrfect Paws arranges vaccinations at registered vets). All fees include health check, flea & worming, neutering, microchipping, and four weeks free insurance. Every adopted cat has the charity's backup—if circumstances ever change, they'll take cats back.

Reviewers emphasize the charity's genuine adoption focus and volunteer warmth. The small space can get busy, but food quality shines: ham and cheese paninis at £4.95 (with crisps and coleslaw), cakes, and reasonably priced tea/coffee. Visitors appreciate cat-themed gifts (keyrings, squishy toys) and the genuine care evident in staff interactions. One reviewer was moved by staff empathy when rehoming a cat due to family circumstances, noting relief knowing "the boy has now found a forever home." The atmosphere balances welcoming hospitality with serious animal welfare—all money raised goes directly to cat care and vet bills.

Open Tues–Fri 10:30am–3pm (last orders 2:30pm). Saturdays and school holidays by booking only; school holiday bookings require £5 per person deposit (4+ people). Contact via Facebook, email info@purrfectpawsfelinewelfare.org, or text 07803 508623. Adoption requires filling an enquiry form (online or in-person), subject to checks and home visit assessment. The cafe can host events (talks, knitting classes, book clubs, mediumship) for up to 25 people—contact to arrange. The airlock system means brief wait times at busy periods. Donations of cat food, blankets, kitchen roll, and puppy pads always appreciated.
