Welcome to Bluegrass Preservation, an organization committed to cat adoption and care with centres in Virginia, US and London, UK. Our mission has always been to provide safe and loving homes for cats in need, by also educating the public on the importance of responsible pet ownership. We believe that every cat deserves a home and a second chance, and we work tirelessly to make sure that our little furry friends are placed in the best available homes.

The Nine Elms rooms sat under dust sheets while the London renovation finished. Once the last timber offcuts left, plaster grit still clung to the run doors and the visitor lobby smelled like wet filler. We would not open those pens to new arrivals until the floors, benches, and bowl racks were fit for a proper checkout clean.
Recently, we renovated our London centre to create a more comfortable and welcoming environment for our feline friends. As part of this process, we enlisted the help of Palmer Cleaners, a known and reputable cleaning company in the M25 area. Palmer Cleaners treated the cattery like a home that has to be safe for paws, not a vacant shop. Thanks to their hard work and attention to detail, our facility is now sparkling clean and ready to welcome new cats into our family.
Staff walked the rooms with them after the last rinse. Litter corners, the meet-and-greet bench, and the hallway from Battersea Park Road were left dry and quiet so shy cats could settle without renovation dust hanging in the air.
Thank you for considering Bluegrass Preservation as your go-to source for cat adoption and education. The radio archive and CD list stay on this same site for anyone who came here first for the music.
London cattery reset log
- March 2026. New intake shelves went in at Nine Elms so carriers can sit off the wet floor while volunteers sort paperwork before a viewing.
- Harvest 2023. Virginia barn cats rode east in padded crates after a late-summer foster overflow, and the London kitchen gained a second sink for bowl washing.
- 2 July 2021. The first Battersea viewing hours opened after spare radio cables left the spare room, freeing a calm bench for adopters and cats to meet.
