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.
I am looking to rehome my Burmese cat Tinker, female, DOB 25 April 2012. I had recently taken her from my grandma because she could no longer look after her. However I am not able to give her the attention she needs whilst I work full time and am away most weekends. Her ideal home would be a retired couple who are home all the time. She’s used to having lots of attention and likes to have someone to cuddle with day and night. She’s an indoor cat but likes to step foot outside when the sun is out.

I am looking to re-home two Burmese cats – they are brother and sister and can’t be separated. They will both be 18 years old in September this year and have been loved dearly by my in-laws for all those years. Sadly my father-in-law passed away in December last year and my mother-in-law is now living in a residential care home unable to take care of them due to mobility issues.
They are lovely easy cats to care for and all they really want is a nice warm place to cuddle up feeding regularly and human company. I don’t think they would fit in with other animals especially not dogs.
I am currently taking care of them in their own home but this isn’t ideal for them or me.
Their names are Beau and Nell – they don’t go out very much and are clean and litter box trained.

2 x Burmese brothers, Male, 8 years old.
Indoor, litter tray trained.
Neutered.
Location: Brighton, Sussex.
We’re looking to re-home our 2 beautiful Burmese cats; Bailey & Blue. This is an incredibly hard decision for our family but with work & family commitments alongside their very specific needs, and what’s best for them, it’s the right decision.
The boys are pure bred Burmese brothers born in the same litter. They are 8 years old turning 9 in October (life span 12-16+ years). They are vibrant, loving, playful, intelligent and loyal. To say they want to be the centre of attention is an understatement and when they’re not snuggling down somewhere warm they’re very vocal about wanting cuddles, playtime and/or food. Since birth they have been indoor cats but with access to a self contained outdoor courtyard to enjoy some outside space in safety.
Blue is big and sociable. Loves a cuddle and will happily settle on your lap. He is highly intelligent, loves to play fetch and chase. He is amazing with and around children and understands not to use his claws when playing. Blue is very much like a dog in the way he engages with you.
Bailey was the runt of the litter. Noticeably smaller and lighter when compared to Blue he is less accomplished across the board. Bailey often keeps himself to himself but is affectionate in his own way preferring attention and play on his own terms. Unlike Blue, Bailey hasn’t mastered the art of soft play and can inadvertently scratch at times.
Together they are typical brothers. They are loving towards each other and Blue looks after Bailey when it comes to grooming and cuddling. Bailey sometimes winds Blue up like only a brother can but, for the most part, they are calm and cuddly with each other.
Our hope is they can integrate with a new family that’s comfortable with the unique personalities and vocal capability of this breed. If with kids, older is probably recommended. Able to provide a safe space for them to thrive and, if you choose to allow them outdoors, that a gradual process is followed to introduce them to this new environment. It would mean a lot to us to hear how the boys are getting on with periodic updates.
If you think this is you, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Rob on robabaker@me.com
Suki is a pure bred and registered Burmese female. Her registerd name is Oyibe Columbine and she is classified as a Burmese Brown Tortie.
She date of birth is 23 February 2014. We received her from our next door neighbors in 2017. (Two of their older cats became ill and the then young Suki was too high energy for those two when they were ill).
Suki is an adventurer and had been sneaking into our home through roof windows and an upper terrace long before we realized it.
She is very sweet but was the runt of her litter and perhaps that affects some of her social traits. She is very kind w people, including our toddler daughter. Suki allow herself to be picked up and carried by the toddler in ways that she would not allow a full adult.
Suki is very active and refuses to poo or pee inside, she uses a flap and constantly goes in and out of it.
Suki would not be happy living with a dog. She has friendly relationship with the two cats from origin home but with other cats she tends to be very territorial. There have been one or two wandering male cats with whom she has established the ability to sit quietly but that that is rare.
Although she needs outdoor space she also needs to be indoor as she loves her people. She often follows me around up and down stairs and likes to sleep near or by one of us.
Suki eats certain wet foods with no problem but she can be picky and she has trouble digesting most dry food. In my opinion it is not worth it to try to feed it to her.
Suki self regulates her weight, she is very active, and is never overweight.
In 2017 Suki fell off the roof and needed care from Stone Lion Vet. Ligaments on her right from dew claw were permanently damaged but she does just fine and is still an active climber; and she chipped one of her teeth but it is fine. Both of these have been seen to by vets and cat dentists. Suki has developed arthritis (for some time) and this slows her down somewhat but she is still active and loves to play. Her health is good.

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
