Tom Maine coon aged 4 to 5. Loving. No pets no kids INDOOR only.

Tom needs quiet home indoor only, loving boy once settled no dogs/kids, very loving once he trusts you - which did not take him long! NO OTHER PETS AT ALL - NO CATS, DOGS, ANY PET. We tried to home him with a non dominant other indoor cat and he attacked it badly and the other cat luckily escaped but was nearly very badly injured - as Tom gets very attached to humans and wants no furbaby to compete with, no children, quiet home, even a small flat is fine- as long as he can see out of windows and they are secure windows as he is very very smart and would escape as he has no idea of danger as he has never left one room for a few years we understand. He lived in a kitchen his whole 4 years and came very underweight with ear mites, sore eyes, matted, greasy fur, not neutered, not vaccinated, not chipped, his 93 year old mom died. We have done all vet work and are continuing with eye drops. Indoor only. No dogs. No children under 10 and then they must be gentle and quiet around him until he gets used to noise. He is very very loving and is used to a mom at home before - so he must sleep with his new parents in time after being given one space to settled and extend rooms very very slowly to give more space, not be given a whole house else he will hide! We funded a urine test, blood tests, FIV/FELV test - all were fine. So he just needs care and feeding up is the conclusion. He came with constipation too, so we are finding a diet that suits him. He had put on lots of weight and will loves his food. He was emaciated but is much better and put on lots of weight with us and adopter (where he has to leave as he could not live with other cat). Adoption is £300 to help with his vet bills, petrol to collect, he came with just a borrowed cat carrier, no bed, no food, no litter tray, nothing. We have bought him scratch pad, a bed,, litter tray, sratch pad, cat bed he sleeps on. He comes with his own carrier too.

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 children under 6 years old. If there is nothing stated to contrary, assume the cat cannot go to a child under six. For other cats, please also bear in mind that some cats may also be found to be unsuitable, even for children over 6. 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 ARRIVING

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 Greter 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 fosterers home (many get a lift or get a taxi home with cat and things). If you are happy with the above criteria and want to enquire further or reserve a cat, please email.
