About Us
We small specialist rescue and re-home any pedigree-looking cat. We don’t worry about pedigree papers for the cats, we care about the cats. Everyone is an unpaid volunteer and every penny donated goes directly to caring for the cats, covering vet bills etc. We help many cats we are told others may have refused.
 
We have taken in and re-homed cats from all over England and Wales. All breeds of pedigree cat including Persians, Persian Exotics, Maine Coons, Ragdolls, Birmans, Burmese, Devon Rex, Siberian, Turkish Angora, Siamese, British Blue, and other colours of British Shorthair, Russian Blue, Orientals and others. We like cats in our care to be in foster family homes and not cattery facilities. Please note, we no longer take in Bengal cats.
 
We are all unpaid volunteers with a passion to help cats in need of vet care or a new home. The adoption fees for the cats help our ongoing treatment with the old, disabled, or cats needing vet care/surgery.
 
We receive no grants and we cannot continue our work without your help, by donating, fostering and adopting from Strawberry. Our vet bills often exceed into the thousands.

Process
We take in cats from all over the UK and re-home all over the UK.  We ask people giving up a cat to fill in a detailed adoption form telling us about themselves, the cat and the ideal home for their cat.  This is to ensure the cat gets any vet work done (like vaccination, we do a lot of dentals at vet, flea and worming, etc.) and that we can match the cat with a perfect potential adopter. 
 
Adopters also have to complete a form.  Once we think an adopter matches a cat, we organise a home-check for them. We make every effort to achieve a successful adoption but will take back any Strawberry cat at any time in it’s lifetime. We do have some volunteers who will transport cats to adopters but adopter has to fund petrol for that.

All cats in our care are in our home or in the home of a fosterer. We love them and care about their here-and-now and their future. See more detail on the Rehoming/Adopting tabs.
 
What are our aims?
  1. We try to help as many pedigree-looking cat needing our help as we can with our limited space and funds.
  2. We try to support people who may not be coping to give up their pedigree-looking cats earlier, and not feel that they have failed the cat. We are happy to help and will not judge you.
  3. We are open and honest about information or issues a cat may have (that we are aware of – they are living beings and we may not know everything from their time before us or may not have a full history).
  4. To take back any Strawberry cat at any time in it’s life.
  5. To care and love every single cat as we love our own.
  6. To keep a cat as long as they need in our home or a fosterer’s home until they are ready for rehoming.
  7. To nurse and tend to cats who are terminally ill, for as long as we and our vet feels they are not suffering. We may place these in a forever foster if that is the right thing for that cat.
 
We see everyone who has adopted as part of our Strawberry family!
