BCS Burmese Welfare and Rehoming Service
Anyone interested in giving any of the cats below a loving forever home, please use the contact details given by their present owner, either their email or phone number.
These two beautiful cats need to be rehomed together as they have been a pair all their lives. Their owner has passed and the family are unable to take them on.
Tigger is a male Lilac. He loves cuddles and will want to accompany his owner to bed – he tends to lay his head on the pillow and expect an arm round him! He has a unique habit of tail wagging. Whilst most cats might do this when angry, this is not a sign of anger for Tigger, just a cute little tap tap tap that he does frequently.
Coco is a chocolate female. She is smaller than Tigger and particularly small for a female Burmese. She is very friendly and will warm to anyone who will be willing to stroke her. She wants to be near her human all the time. She will also want to share the human bed at night.
Both cats are healthy; Tigger has just had his annual injections; Coco is due hers – it was going to be this week but I will have to delay it; I would guarantee that it is done before being re-homed.
These cats have been together since birth (they have the same father) and would not want to be split up. Our desire is that they go to a loving home in a quiet area with plenty of outdoor space. They would be best suited to someone who adores the Burmese breed and for someone who is lonely, this pair would be perfect and bring a lot of joy. We would be very sad to see them go we just can’t add them to our own two Burmese cats.

We have a Burmese cat that has been living on the streets for at least 4 years it had been going to about three houses for food that we know of our next door neighbour is one of them but 4 weeks ago he turned up at ours and marched straight in as if asking for help. He had been trapped and given to the owners mother (the owner died) who apparently tried to keep him in for 6 months to see if he would adapt again but no he shot off, she was inexperienced with cats. He is chipped to a rescue in Basingstoke and with their agreement I am doing my very best for him.
He had lost weight over last few months so my neighbour and I took him to the vets for blood test for the rescue and he has Hyperthermadism. Jesper has been with us solo for last 4 weeks and we have paid for his medicine. He is going back to the vets in another couple of weeks time but we are convinced he has put on quite a bit of weight. The photos of him are inside our house as he is adapting so well and is a lovely boy so affectionate but still a little wary.
We would keep him in an heartbeat but we spend about 6-8 weeks twice a year in Spain so just not possible.

Welfare: The BCS runs a welfare service for troubled, abandoned or lost Burmese cats across the UK. We have a number of safe houses where they can be cared for until their owner can be found or they can be placed in a new loving home.
Rehoming service: In addition we are also able to provide a re-homing service for people who have Burmese cats that are looking for a permanent loving new home. This can be for a variety of reasons. Often breeding cats on retirement thrive in a home where they can be the centre of attention. And sometimes Burmese decide that they want to live alone rather than with other cats- they are all individual as you probably know! The re-homing list exists as a point of contact and is a service offered to members to improve the life of the Burmese cats in their care. However, an entry on the list does not constitute a recommendation by the Burmese Cat Society. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information given. We do ask that any health issues are stated and that cats being re-homed should be neutered. The list is the initial contact point between the cats current and future owners and the BCS cannot accept any responsibility for any subsequent problems that arise with the re-homing process. We are though committed to providing advice and assistance where needed.
Fund Raising: The welfare service can only survive through donations and fund raising events. We are always very grateful for any money sent to us and the money is vital to the continuance of the service. Donations to the Burmese Cat Society Welfare Fund are used exclusively for this work and your support is greatly appreciated. If you would like to make a donation then a cheque made payable to the Burmese Cat Society should be sent to: Inglewood, Glazeley, Nr Bridgnorth, Shropshire, WV16 6AB

If your need to rehome a burmese cat is not urgent and you are able to keep the cat until the new home is found, we can put the details on our website with you as the contact so you are fully involved in deciding the best new home for them. If this is the case please contact Mrs Janet Wilshaw email: rossikhan.wilshaw@btinternet.com tel: 07702 660092 with details of the cat(s), photo’s and full details for the website.
If we have nothing suitable for you try the Burmese Cat Club http://www.burmesecatclub.com/
The Burmese Cat Club is the larger of the two Clubs and they have a far greater network of safe houses if the need for rehoming is urgent. They are based in regions of the UK and their details can be found at http://www.burmesecatclub.com/
