More about Martin
Meet our wildly awesome Martin!
This stunningly beautiful boy is ready to leap into your heart!
If you think Martin is just your average couch potato, you've got to be kitten me! True to his breed, Martin is high-energy, incredibly intelligent boy who views the world as his personal jungle gym. He isn't just looking for a house, he's looking for an adventure park! He has bags of charisma and voice he isn't afraid to use-get ready for some seriously engaging chats!
Martin needs a home that can keep up with his wild side and offer plenty or attention, enrichment and fun!
Martin will need to be the only cat in the home, but would be suited to join an existing cat friendly dog who can match his high energy. Low cat population recommended due to breed.
Children in the home? Martin says "Fun, fun, fun" This loveable, adventurous boy is suited to live with school aged children and above who can provided him with endless pets and exciting playtime!
Martin is wild at heart and will need to be provided with outside access once settled. He will require 24/7 cat flap access so he can go off exploring whenever the mood takes him.
Never let a Bengal get bored!! This beautiful Bengal loves to climb and will be happiest if provided with a large cat tree and scratching post to play on. He will need to be keep busy. Providing a range of toys, dedicated play sessions and enrichment feeders will help to keep him curious, stimulated and content.
Martin will need to be provided with a quiet corner in the home to settle into with all of his resources close by and hidey holes to use if needed during his settling period. However, he settled quickly on the cattery and was quick to investigate, explore and make friends. He'll likely follow you around and join in on all the goings on straight away.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Martin, 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.
