Benson is a very affectionate, chocolate colour point Candian Sphynx boy aged 3, who came into Strawberry with his pink sister, Kipo. He has stunning blue eyes and fur on his colourpoint areas.

Benson is great with other cats and would be fine with older, cat-respecting children.

We would love to keep Benson and Kipo together, as they are a bonded pair, but will consider splitting them up if necessary.

Potential adopters must have had experience of caring for high-maintenance pedigree cats, such as Siamese or Persians, or ideally Sphynx, given the special care requirements for Sphynx.

Benson eats raw food or Royal Canin Sphynx biscuits. He will come with the frozen raw food he has been eating at Strawberry.

Benson has been vet-checked, wormed, flea’d, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, and will come with a blanket and litter tray. Adopters can buy a carrier from us for £19 if they cannot bring their own to collect the cat.

Adoption fee £370 if adopted alone, or £250 if adopted with Kipo (in which case Kipo’s fee will also be £250).

Located in the West Midlands.

********************

Before applying for a Strawberry cat please read the following:

1. Unless otherwise stated, our cats are strictly indoor-only. This means that windows/doors cannot be left open in any room to which the cat has access. A cat cannot be trained to be indoor-only – it must be supervised. All members of the house must be in agreement and understand about keeping doors and windows closed. We are happy to re-home to a flat but, likewise, this means windows closed and no balcony access, unless the balcony is totally cat-proofed (netting all the way), same is true for roof terraces, so that they cannot drop to their death.
2. Unless otherwise stated, we do not re-home to households with children under 8 years old. If there is nothing stated to contrary, assume the cat cannot go to a home with any children under eight. For other cats, please also bear in mind that some cats may also be found to be unsuitable, even for children over 8. WE DO NOT HOME WITH PEOPLE PLANNING CHILDREN, AS SO MANY CATS ARE GIVEN UP JUST BECAUSE CHILDREN ARRIVE OR CATS DEVELOP BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES AFTER BABIES ARRIVE.
3. It is a requirement of our adoption policy that lifetime insurance is obtained and maintained for every cat adopted. We provide 5 weeks’ free insurance with every adoption, but the original policy may not suit you, and as we are not financial advisors, you should seek out the best and appropriate insurance to suit your own needs.
4. Most cats are in Greater London, Essex or Worcestershire (an hour from Birmingham), with some fostered further afield like Durham at times. See each listing for details – if not detailed it will be Greater London, London or Worcs. Cats cannot be adopted by public transport – you must be able to collect by car or get a taxi home from fosterer’s home (many get a lift or get a taxi home with cat and things).
