More about Oscar
Say hello to Malteser!
Malteser is a wonderful boy who is a little bit addictive, just like his namesake! Once you’ve experienced his adorable purrs and impressive somersaults, you’ll find it hard to resist his charm. He has a lovely way of capturing your heart and keeping you entertained with his playful antics and sweet personality.
Malteser has an independent side, too, and likes to do things on his own terms. He enjoys having the freedom to adventure outdoors, explore his surroundings and indulge in a well-deserved snooze in his favourite spot. He’s a boy who appreciates a little balance between affection and independence, making him a lovely companion for someone who understands that cats sometimes like their own space.
Although Malteser is a very affectionate boy who enjoys spending time with his favourite people, he also likes to have his boundaries respected. He would be best suited to a home with older, school-age children who can understand his body language, recognise when he needs a little space and allow him to approach for attention in his own time.
With a family who appreciates his affectionate nature as well as his independent streak, Malteser has all the makings of a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a charming, characterful cat who will keep you smiling with his antics and reward you with plenty of purrs, Malteser could be the perfect addition to your home! When he first arrives into his new home, he'll need a settling room if the household is busy, or a quiet corner if the household is nice and quiet. He will need outside access in his new home as he enjoys exploring, and he will need a permanent litter tray in the home.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Malteser, 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.
