🐾 Join us for a very special evening as we celebrate 55 years of rescuing and rehoming homeless and abandoned pets in Watford.

Every year, our Watford rescue centre finds loving homes for around 450 animals, with almost two-thirds having been found stray or abandoned. But after decades of service, our centre is in urgent need of redevelopment and, without it, the current facilities are unlikely to survive another winter.

This event is not only a celebration of animal rescue, but also of Watford itself – the community that has supported us for 55 years. Hosted at one of the town’s most prestigious venues, guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring:

✨ Live entertainment from Watford favourites and X Factor winners Rak-Su
🎹 A spectacular Sir Elton John tribute performance by Elite Elton, the UK’s No.1 Elton John tribute act
🍽️ Three courses of fine dining, including wine, followed by coffee and petit fours
🎤 Hosted by British actor and passionate animal advocate Peter Egan
🔨 A high-value silent and live auction, with the live auction hosted by BBC’s Paul Martin
📸 Professional photography by Jermaine Chandra, with studio-style portraits available on the night – with 15% of every purchase donated to the centre rebuild project

Together, we’ll honour 55 years of saving lives and help ensure our rescue centre can continue caring for homeless and abandoned pets for generations to come.

🐶🐱 We’d love you to be part of this special occasion. To find out more and secure your place, visit our Gala page: https://www.nawt.org.uk/get-involved/events/nawt-charity-gala/

Butter is available for adoption! 🏡

✨ Name: Butter
😺 Breed: Domestic Long-Haired
🎂 Age: 7 years
💖 Personality: Butter is a sweet and gentle girl, and can be a little shy when meeting new people.
👫 Perfect match: Butter is looking for a calm, loving home where she can build her confidence at her own pace and enjoy the comfort and security she deserves.
📍 Currently at: Bedfordshire

💬 Butter says:
"Hi everyone, I came into NAWT as a stray so little is known about my past, but since going into a lovely foster home I have shown just how sweet I can be. The centre here says that with lots of patience, understanding, and a quiet space to call my own, they're sure my personality will shine through, and I must say I can't disagree! If you're looking for a gentle companion and have room in your heart for a cat who may take a little longer to come out of their shell, I could be the perfect match for you."

With my soft nature and affectionate temperament, I would make a beautiful companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving friend. I am so ready to enjoy gentle walks, garden playtime, and all the love!"

🌡️🐾 An extreme heat warning for parts of England is on the way this week, so it’s important to help our pets stay safe and comfortable.

Take a look at our 5 top tips for pets and the heat ☀️👆 - and here is some additional advice:

✔️ Keep pets entertained with gentle indoor enrichment and activities during the hottest parts of the day.
✔️ Provide cooling aids such as cool mats or cooling pads and plenty of fresh water.
✔️ Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are lower.
✔️ Make sure pets always have access to shade and cool areas to rest.
❌ Avoid draping wet towels over your pet, as this can trap heat and make it harder for them to cool down effectively.

If you’re feeling the heat, chances are your pets are too. Keep an eye out for signs of heatstroke and contact your vet immediately if you’re concerned.

Stay cool and stay safe! 💙🐶🐱🐰

Albie is available for adoption! 🏡

✨ Name: Albie
🐶 Breed: Pug
🎂 Age: 4 years
💖 Personality: Albie absolutely love cuddles, cosy naps, tasty snacks, and generally being adored.
👫 Perfect match: Albie could potentially live with older children who are gentle and kind. He may also be able to live with a cat, although he hasn't been cat tested yet, so slow introductions are important. He also quite enjoys canine company, so could happily live with another friendly dog.
📍 Currently at: Hertfordshire

💬 Albie says:
"Hello... I’m Albie, and I’ve been told I’m ridiculously handsome and squishy! I came into rescue with my friend Eden after we were sadly left at a vet practice. I think Eden is absolutely brilliant and I’m very happy following her around, even if she sometimes acts like she could take or leave my company. I don’t mind though, I’m just a sweet boy who likes having friends around. Apparently, when I get excited to see people, my whole back end joins in. I just can’t help myself. I’m looking for a loving home where I can be spoiled appropriately (within my diet plan, of course), enjoy plenty of cuddles, and wiggle my way right into your heart."

A happy update on our special boy, Cliff! 🐾

Cliff arrived at our NAWT Cornwall centre as a stray in May 2025 and was sadly very poorly with a persistent cough. After extensive veterinary investigations, including x-rays, CT scans and a lung flush, he was diagnosed with Kartagener Syndrome, a condition that affects the cilia in the respiratory tract.

Thanks to the dedication of our veterinary team, his condition was stabilised with mild medication, and after spending five months being cared for in a wonderful foster home, Cliff finally met the family who completely fell in love with him. ❤️

Since being adopted in April this year, Cliff has gone from strength to strength. Looking at these beautiful photos, you’d hardly know he has this condition at all – he’s living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment with his loving family. 🥰

Stories like Cliff’s remind us that every animal deserves a chance, no matter the challenges they face. Thank you to everyone who helped him on his journey, and to his amazing adopters for giving him the happy ending he truly deserves. 🐶✨

Copper is available for adoption! 🏡

✨ Name: Copper
😺 Breed: Domestic Shorthair
🎂 Age: 4 years
💖 Personality: Copper is a gentle easy-going boy, who enjoys human company and would make someone a lovely companion.
👫 Perfect match: Copper may be able to share his home with another cat with slow, gentle introductions. He would also be happy living with older children who understand sometimes he may need a little space. No dogs though please.
📍 Currently at: Hertfordshire

💬 Copper says:
"A little while ago, I found myself at a vet practice with my friend, waiting for someone to come back for us. Sadly, they never did. Thankfully, the lovely people at the rescue stepped in and promised that one day I'd find a family who would never let me down again. I don't think I'm asking for too much. A comfy bed? Yes please. A nice bowl of tasty food? Even better. And if you happen to have some spare time for fuss and cuddles, I promise I'll be first in the queue. One of my favourite hobbies is rolling around with my belly in the air, all snuggled up in my bed, showing everyone just how relaxed and happy I can be. If you've been looking for a gentle soul to share your home and your heart, I think we might just be the perfect match."
