In the event of your death, the Executor of your Will, next of kin, family member or friend, or other relevant person, will need to contact Battersea on 020 7627 9300 to let us know that your pet needs to be rehomed.
To ensure this happens we strongly advise that, as well as including instructions in your Will, you tell the relevant people of your wish for your pets to be taken to Battersea – family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, social worker, landlord, etc. You should also make sure that your Will and any other relevant paperwork is up to date and easy to access.
If you are able to appoint a temporary guardian for your pet who knows your wishes and would be happy to care for your pet whilst arrangements are made, this will ensure a smooth transition for your pet to Battersea.
