Jen Berezai has had cats in her life for as long as she can remember, including a little black moggy brought back from Malawi where she lived as a child. She was inspired to set up AdvoCATS from both her work in cat rescue and the negative experiences of friends and family. Jen is very passionate on the subject of pets in lets, and led the Heads for Tails! campaign alongside people and organisations that couldn’t even have been imagined back in 2018. She lives and works in Long Eaton and attributes AdvoCATS’ success to “a brilliant husband, an understanding boss and low housekeeping standards!”

While she understands the concerns of landlords regarding pet damage, she is equally keen that pet owners respect their landlord’s properties and maintain the health of their pets with regular vet visits and flea treatments.
At AdvoCATS, we’re always looking for people to help us both locally and on the campaign trail. From caseworkers to social media managers, fundraisers to information day personnel, if you’ve got 2-3 hours a month to spare, we can make use of you!
