More about Cosy (working cat)
Say hello to Cosy!
Cosy is the perfect balance of sweet and independent! Cosy is an explorer at heart and loves to adventure around his domain, but once he's checked everything is in order and chased some insects, he'll be on his way home to curl up on your lap or in a warm spot nearby. If you don't hear his adorable mews as he's greeting you when arriving home (probably telling you about his day!), you can't miss his cute stubby tail passing by!
Cosy has bitten and scratched his owners in the presence of other cats. We believe in these situations Cosy could smell another cat and he was showing redirected frustration towards his owner, as he was not castrated and in communal areas where another resident cat was nearby. Cosy has not shown any of these behaviours onsite, but can become worried when staff leave the pen and lightly mouth them. He is a lovely boy who enjoys spending time with you, and we don't believe he will show these behaviours in the home with the correct set-up. Cosy will need to be the only animal in the home, and he can live with teenagers who can give him the time and space that he needs. He will also need access to a private garden via a cat flap, with access all day and night so he can explore when he would like to. Battersea are available for guidance and advice if there are any concerns.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Cosy, you can e-mail our rehoming team on (cat.rehoming@battersea.org.uk) to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form to discuss an individual animal, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here (https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/cats).
Please be aware we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those who are a match for the cat you have contacted us about.
Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our cats individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the cat you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our cats and the right cat for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our cats and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a cat within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search beyond Battersea.

Our rehoming fee is £100 for cats (over six months), £130 for kittens (under six months) or £180 for a pair of cats and £225 for a pair of kittens. We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). The fees include a full vet and behaviour assessment, microchipping, flea and worm treatment, neutering, initial vaccinations, starter pack of food and four weeks of free Petplan insurance. Each cat also goes to their new home with their own blankets and a favourite toy, such as a knitted mouse.
It’s important to consider not just the initial cost of getting a cat or kitten, but the regular cost of insurance, food, equipment and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of owning a cat.
