Welcome
Hounslow Animal Welfare Society
Celebrating 50 years
Fifty years ago in 1976, Britain experienced a summer of unusually hot weather. At the same time there was a severe drought with standpipes in the streets. But there was also something else happening in 1976. Hounslow Animal Welfare Society was born.
Yes, we are celebrating our 50th anniversary!
We’d like to send a message to our volunteers, supporters and adopters on behalf of the many thousands of cats and small animals that have been rescued and rehomed under our care. That message is THANK YOU but we still NEED YOU and right now we are especially in need cat and kitten fosterers, can you help?
What we do
Hounslow Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) rehomes hundreds of abandoned cats and other domestic animals (except dogs) each year. The charity has a strict non-destruction policy.
| Please note that the charity is staffed entirely by volunteers, and does not have a rehoming centre. All our animals needing homes are being looked after by kind volunteers. Our mailing address is a business centre where we have our mail delivered. No animals are kept there and nobody from the charity is based there. Contact information |
Rescuing / rehoming unwanted animals

Foster homes needed
We are truly desperate for foster homes for kittens, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. There are so many animals out there that need help but like all animal rescues we are bursting at the seams and to help more animals we need more human help.

Please neuter your kittens!
One of the key reasons for the huge number of unwanted pets and strays coming to our charity, is that people are not neutering them. Neutering your animals has lots of benefits, both for their health and wellbeing. They are less likely to become problem pets due to territorial issues and/or being allowed to breed.
