More about Slinky Malinki

Come and meet our very own sleek and adventurous Slinky Malinki!

Slinky Malinki may be small in stature, but she is certainly big in personality. She is living proof that the best things come in small packages. This little lady is small but mighty, with so much love to give and a wonderful zest for life. Her sense of adventure is matched only by her affectionate nature, and she is just waiting to find the perfect humans to call her own.

Packed full of love and never shy about making her presence known, Slinky Malinki has a loud voice and an even bigger heart. She is a super sweet and adorable girl with bundles of energy and a playful side that is sure to make you smile. It took her a little time to find her confidence, but she was definitely worth the wait. She loves a fuss and will happily come over for attention, nudging you for more strokes if you dare to stop!

Slinky Malinki can be a little sensitive at times, so she would be best suited to a home with teenagers and above who can understand that she may need some time and space to settle in before she is ready to make new friends. A quieter home environment would suit her well, with a cosy corner where she can retreat, plenty of hiding spots, and all of her resources close by.

Slinky Malinki will need a permanent litter tray kept in a quiet and private area of the home to help her feel comfortable and secure.

Once settled, Slinky Malinki will need access to a private garden where she can explore, satisfy her adventurous nature, and burn off some of her excess energy.

If you're looking for a fun, affectionate companion with a big personality packed into a petite frame, Slinky Malinki could be the perfect match for you.

If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Slinky Malinki, 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.
