Bear is a dark smoke tabby British Shorthair, a real sweetie who gets on with all the other kittens!
He* was born in foster at Strawberry to Kiki, who came in heavily pregnant, along with her mum, Tinkerbell (the kittens’ granny). Kiki is fiv/felv negative. (*Bear’s fosterers think he is a boy, but we cannot be certain until the kittens have grown a bit more.) Bear’s siblings are: Tombelina, Tabitha, Yuki, and JJ.
Bear has been handled by humans since birth, and is used to having his claws, ears and bottom checked, as well as tummy tickles!
Kittens must be adopted in pairs, or you must have at least one playful but gentle cat for them to play with. Any existing cats must be indoor-only, fully vaccinated and neutered, and like other cats.
Bear will be ready for adoption probably by mid-late June/start of July – it depends on when he is heavy enough to be neutered, and we will ensure that he is litter trained.
When ready to be adopted, Bear will have been vet-checked, wormed, flea’d, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, and will come with toys, 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 £650.
Located in the West Midlands.

********************
Before applying for a Strawberry cat please read the following:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
