Battersea is here for every dog and cat and has been since 1860. We are a leading animal welfare charity and over the last 160 years we’ve grown from one home in London to three rescuing and rehoming centres across the South East. At Battersea, we take the time to get to know the needs of every dog and cat that walks through our doors so we can give them the love and expert care they deserve. ​

With c600 employees and 1000 volunteers, we have cared for over three million vulnerable animals around the globe. We also campaign tirelessly to make things better for dogs and cats, sharing our expertise and educating the public and policymakers about responsible pet ownership.
