About Battersea Dogs & Cats Home . . .
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is one of the oldest and most famous animal rescue centres in the world. Founded by a Victorian lady, Mrs Mary Tealby, in 1860, Battersea’s dream is of every dog and cat enjoying a loving, permanent and safe home. Until that happens, Battersea aims never to turn away an animal in need.
Battersea rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes dogs and cats who are abandoned, neglected or unwanted, and looks after them while new homes are found. In 2012, 5,880 dogs and 2,760 cats were cared for at the Home’s three centres in London, Old Windsor in Berkshire and Brands Hatch in Kent. Over 1,000 volunteers and 300 staff make sure every animal who comes to Battersea’s gate gets the love, care and medical treatment they need.
