Adopt Berry

British Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Berry is a 5-year-old British Shorthair female who came from a breeder and is extremely scared and overwhelmed. She hides most of the day, isn't used to handling, and hisses initially but will take treats. Never lived in a home before, so needs patience and experienced adopters. Relies on other cats for comfort and would benefit from being adopted with a friend. Must be kept indoors only as she's never been outside. Needs a calm, quiet home with cat-experienced owners who understand she'll take time to adjust and gain confidence.

15-03-26 Berry has come to us from a breeder, along with some other cats, to find her forever home. She is a very scared little girl at the moment who is completely overwhelmed to find herself here. At the moment she chooses to hide away and clearly isn't used to being touched or handled, so her adopters will need to take things at her pace. She will spend most of her day hiding in a bed, cuddled up with her friends and isn't brave enough to venture out until she's certain nobody is around. She will take a treat from you, but does hiss at first until she's sure you mean no harm. She has never lived in a home environment before, so she will need plenty of time, patience and TLC as she adjusts to home life. As she settles in, she will start to come out of her shell and her confidence will slowly grow. Berry does seem to rely on other cats for comfort so would be happy to be homed with Tigger, one of her friends that she arrived with. In the right circumstances, she could also be homed where there were other cats or pets, but any introductions would need to be done very gradually. As she has never been outdoors, Berry will need to be kept as an indoor-only cat to keep her safe. Access to a secure catio would be a lovely bonus, allowing her some fresh air and enrichment in a controlled environment, though this is not essential. Berry is looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with cats and who understand that she may take some time to settle in and before she is comfortable being fussed. With lots of love and TLC, she will blossom. Berry has a travel document.
