Tommy (previously Dolly) is a cream persian exotic (short haired persian) kitten. He came into Strawberry along with his siblings (possibly Brady-Baker, Delilah and Tilly-Terry), mum (either Clare or Cheryl), possibly his dad, Victor, and several other cats and kittens, many of whom were malnourished and had serious eye infections, which we are now treating. Poor Tommy had a horribly infected eye, which has healed up following vet care and eye drops.
He is the friendliest kitten of the group, loving attention from humans and being polite with all the other cats. He lived with a dog at the breeders that he came from.
He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea’d and wormed.
Adopters must have another playful cat or adopt him with another kitten – we do not let kittens go to homes where they will be without a feline playmate.
He’s not been manically playful so far, no climbing curtains or being ‘naughty’, but he is very sweet and loves playing with the other kittens, and steps back to let others eat first.
Adoption fee £650 – to try to save the rescue due to endless stream of cats we take in with no donation, but who have expensive needs like eye surgery. The healthy kittens help us to keep going so we can keep helping help the cats we rescue with complex needs.Please adopt from us as a rescue, so that we can keep helping as many cats as we can. We are normal people volunteering and letting cats stay in our spare rooms but vet costs, food, transport, medication, worming etc have to be covered – and they are insane! The adoption fee from our gorgeous kittens are helping us keep rescuing neglected and abaondoned cats, who are often in great pain.
Located in West Midlands foster.
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).
