More about Womble
Meet Womble!
Womble is an enchanting,. beautiful and sensitive soul who found cattery life a little overwhelming to begin with. We sent him off to live with a lovely foster carer who was willing to show him lots of patience and consistency.
It took him around six weeks to start feeling comfortable, but once he learnt to trust again, he has shown us what an incredibly forgiving and gorgeously affectionate boy he is. This may be the similar case when moving to a new home, so he will require a dedicated settling room to help him settle in comfortably. The Rehoming team will provide guidance on how to set this space up to ensure he has the best chance of settling well.
Patience is rewarding with Womble, and when he has formed bonds he is a gentle, social cat. Lately, he's shown how much safer he feels by snoozing, contentedly, in his foster carers lap.
A quieter home, with predictable routine will be best for Womble. He's looking for a family with adults (and if children aged teenager and above), who can respect his boundaries and give him the time he needs to find his paws and gradually build his confidence.
Although not participating in Wimbledon's tennis courts, once settled, he particularly enjoys playing with his string toy! Teats, and gentle, calm play will be a great way to build bonds and trust. Could you have met your match with lovely Womble?
Womble will also need access to a private garden and will not be suited to living with other animals.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Womble, 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.
