Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary is a fairly small cat and dog sanctuary which opened in 1992 just outside of Bristol, in Wild Country Lane, Barrow Gurney.
A wide range of adorable animals of different ages are available for adoption, including Frenchies and Domestic Short Hair Cats.
Below are 14 of the rescue centre’s newest residents, who would love to find a permanent home in Bristol. Some of these cute animals are living in the kennels at the centre, whilst others are staying at a ‘home from home’.
Could you be their new fur-ever family? More information about the adoption process is available via Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary’s website.
5. Pebble and Breeze, 6 month old male and female DSH
"When Breeze and Pebbles arrived with their siblings, they were semi-feral & incredibly frightened. They are just now starting to make lots of progress our wonderful cattery team having been spending lots of time with them. Pebbles has started to let Holly Hedge give her a fuss & she LOVES it & will purr & purr. Breeze is much more nervous & won’t be touched but he is very inquisitive so Holly Hedge are hoping by watching Pebbles he will continue to gain confidence & become more handleable. He does love to play with string toys so we are able to interact with him & he is very smart & enjoys puzzle feeders. Despite their nervousness they have learned to enjoy Holly Hedge's company & will choose to come inside & hang out with them even if it was from a safe distance. They’re looking for a calm & patient adult only home in a quiet (ideally rural) area where they can feel safe & continue to build confidence." | Holly Hedge
6. Fiddler, 18 month old male DSH
"Fiddler, is a happy boy who just wants to find the perfect home. Fiddler came in as a stray and is sadly struggling with Cattery life. Fiddle is a clever boy, who loves to play and needs to have lots of enrichment to keep his busy mind focused. Sadly Fiddler is struggling in a cattery environment, so we would love to find him his forever home so he can get home and get properly settled. Fiddler loves his food which is an amazing way to help the bonding process. He does really love cuddles and can be a lap cat, but it is on his terms." | Holly Hedge
7. Coral and Kai, 6 month old male and female DSH
"This beautiful duo Coral and Kai came into Holly Hedge as semi feral strays. The wonderful cattery team have worked tirelessly with them and now they are ready to look for their new forever homes. Both kittens are very inquisitive and are still quite nervous but, Kai especially has become very friendly and cuddly, while Coral is still quite shy she does like to watch what your doing and loves to play.! They are looking for a loving, quiet calm home where their new family has the time and patience to spend bonding with them." | Holly Hedge
8. Otis, 11 year old male DLH
"Handsome Otis found himself at Holly Hedge due to a change in circumstances and through no fault of his own. Otis is a proper cuddle bug, he loves to snuggle up on cosy laps and doze off. Otis can be a bit of a dribble monster when it comes to affection—he honestly can't get enough attention! Loud noises can scare him so he will need a calm and quiet home, where he can relax in peace. Otis would love to find that special someone to share a bond with, where he can be adored and in return adore his new person(s)." | Holly Hedge
