Feline Welfare Animal rescue service in Newport, Newport

"Nikki is truly a cat whisperer.... she loves and understands cats and works tirelessly to help sick, neglected, abandoned, abused, or lost cats. 24/7. Always the needs of the cat are paramount, and that’s always been uppermost in Nikki’s thinking when she matches cats and would be adopters. Sadly sometimes people take this personally, but Nikki really knows her stuff, and instinctively knows the best sort of home to suit a cats nature and circumstances. I don’t know how she does it... if I had to deal with some of the awful things she sees, I’d be no good to anyone. I think she’s a remarkable lady. I currently have one cat I adopted from Feline Welfare years ago, and I have another older cat from FW who is an permanent foster with a skin condition, so is invariably on medication. Nikki is always there with helpful advice if I need it. I wish there were more like her!"

"Feline Welfare is a wonderful, caring charity founded and run by Nikki Hazelgrove. I have experienced her dedication at first hand and over several years - day in, day out - and let's not forget all the nights! She has years of experience and works tirelessly to help cats and kittens in need - any need - and they come first. Nikki's rehoming process is second-to-none and she cares a great deal that both cat and owner are happy and well matched in every respect. A forever, happy home is her goal and this will always be. True cat and animal lovers applaud her and her charity."

"I cannot recommend Nikki at Feline Welfare enough. This lady is a tireless, champion ambassador for cats - nothing else matters. She has helped hundreds of cats regain health, learn to love and trust humans again, no medical emergency is ever too much and she will do everything in her power to save lives, and is meticulous is making sure every cat goes to the right home. I see a few complaints here about her - one is totally absurd and fabricated, the others are just griping because they didn't meet the required criteria .... each cats need is carefully tailored in the cats best interests.... just as it should be. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Feline Welfare to anyone. It does what it says on the tin, and then some."

"We would like to thank Nikki for finding such good homes for the kittens we were looking after. Nikki goes above and beyond for the welfare of any cats in her care and we would definitely recommend Nikki's organisation for fostering or adopting. Thank you Nikki. You will go to cat heaven! 🐈"
