More about Lara
Lara is a sensitive and gentle cat who has a very affectionate nature once she feels comfortable with those around her. She initially found life in the Cattery quite worrying, but with calm, patient and consistent care, Lara has made wonderful progress.
She now readily interacts with her carers, seeking out fuss and attention and leaning in affectionately for contact. She will even gently nudge her carers’ faces with her own whilst purring contentedly.
Lara responds particularly well to a quiet and patient approach and, once she feels secure, her loving nature really shines through. She is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can continue to build her confidence at her own pace.
Lara will need outdoor access in her new home. If her new owners are away for a working day, she should be provided with a cat flap so she is able to come and go as she pleases.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Lara, you can e-mail our Old Windsor rehoming team on bowcat.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we can discuss an individual animal. 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/rehoming.
Please be aware that we receive a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that 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.
