Welcome

Hounslow Animal Welfare Society

Established in 1976, 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.

Adoption

See all our cats and kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and any other animals looking for new homes.

Read our adoption requirements and check you are in our area of coverage around West London.

Please can you help us save lives?

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.

To find out more please take a look at our fostering page
or email volunteer@haws-animals.org.uk


Fostering or adoption

Foster homes are always needed for cats, kittens, rabbits and guinea pigs while the charity finds new homes for them. Sometimes our foster homes adopt the animals they are looking after.

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.
