More about Mount Kilimanjaro

Meet Mt Kilimanjaro- The Kitten Who Will Take Your Heart To New Heights!

Are you ready to embark on the ultimate expedition of love? Then Mt Kilimanjaro is your girl! While she might share her name with one of the world's highest peaks, this little girl is looking for a lifetime basecamp to call her own.

Mt Kilimanjaro is a bit of a cliffhanger when you first meet her. New faces and environments can feel like a steep climb, and she may be a little nervous at the start of her trek. But don't let that slow you down. Once she feels safe and gets her bearings, she quickly scales the heights of cautiousness to become an incredibly sweet, adventurous and friendly companion.

Mt Kilimanjaro is looking for a home where can live as the only animal, or with an existing cat. She is also suitable to be rehomed with her sibling Mt Fuji.

She took a little while to feel safe and show her true personality on the cattery. She will need a quiet corner of the home to be settled into. With plenty of hidey holes to ensure she feels safe. Once settled she will show you her brave and friendly side. Get your ear plugs ready for when she unleashes her loud happy purr!

Mt Kilimanjaro is a very curious and playful kitten who will suitable to live with with school age children and above, who allow her space to settle and join her on a lifetime of adventures.

Once old enough she will require access to the great outdoors. Cat flap required if joining an existing cat, or being rehomed with her sibling.

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.

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.
