In March 2014 we came and we met Robbie. He was a perfect fit for our family and we took him home to Hampshire. We always wondered how he ended up on his own on the London streets but we gave him the best life. He spent his years on the beach biting the waves, running through the woods and digging in streams. In his later years he slowed down a bit but always loved joining in with our friends and family. This week was his time and we miss him dreadfully. The house is too quiet. We are all very sad but we know we gave him the best life.
Battersea is highlighting the need to address extreme breeding practices as the charity continues to see the negative impact on the health and welfare of dogs like Coco, a two-year-old French Bulldog and Pekingese cross.
Our beautiful Daisy loved to go to the beach. We always treated her to an ice cream when we went. She loved going on holiday in the campervan and even travelled end to end - John o’ Groats to Lands End! We loved to have cuddles with her and she loved her woodland animal toys. We miss her very much and we’ll never forget the 16 years we had with her.
Battersea has joined forces with other leading animal charities to warn unsuspecting animal lovers about buying a new furry friend this Christmas, particularly through social media.
Battersea is thrilled to announce the winner of the charity’s coveted Purr Minister 2024 title: Attlee the cat, representing Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, Speaker of the House of Commons. This victory is particularly historic as it marks a second win for Sir Lindsay, who previously triumphed in 2020 with his previous cat, Patrick, who has since sadly passed away. Attlee clinched victory with over 18 per cent of the public vote, emerging as a standout among an enthusiastic group of eleven “cat-idates,” each bringing their own distinctive flair to the campaign.
