Oscar is a very loving, large golden chinchilla persian x Maine Coon boy aged 3.
He came into Strawberry with his brother, Henry, and although we would have loved for them to stay together, poor Oscar had an infected anal gland which has become very complex to heal, and is undergoing treatment and monitoring for this, so he is not yet ready for adoption. If you can donate anything towards his care, we would be very, very grateful – there are links to our GoFundMe pages above and below, or you can donate via PayPal (link in top right corner), or buy something off of our Amazon list, or pay off some of the Strawberry Rescue vet bill directly by phoning Best Friends Vet Practice during business hours on 01684 573 333.
Once he is recovered, Oscar could be adopted alone, or should be OK living with other cats.
When ready to adopt, Oscar will have been vet-checked, wormed, flea’d, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, and will come with a blanket and litter tray. Adopters can buy carriers from us for £25 each if they cannot bring their own to collect the cat.
Adoption fee £350.
Located in the West Midlands.

Just browsing? Not the cat for you? You can still help our cats – Strawberry Persian (and Pedigree, and pedigree-looking) cat rescue is struggling to survive. Please see our fundraiser at https://gofund.me/60465b20 – every little helps! Thank you!
********************
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).
