Registered Charity No: 206394 (England & Wales).

Battersea is here for every dog and cat, and has been since 1860. Over more than 160 years, we’ve gone from one home in London to three rescue and rehoming centres across the country and have cared for over three million vulnerable animals.

We take in every animal who needs us, regardless of their age, breed or medical condition and without any judgement. We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them.

It is thanks to the generosity of animal lovers everywhere that we have been able to improve the lives of so many dogs and cats, both in our centres and beyond, through our work with other rescue organisations and charities.

Much of our vital work is made possible through gifts in Wills. To request your free legacy information pack, please visit battersea.org.uk/will or contact the Special Gifts team on specialgifts@battersea.org.uk
