Battersea Cat and Dog Home.
 

For those out there looking to adopt a new family member.

The procedure is as follows.......

Go to Battersea,

Follow the Red Paw prints on the ground to the Rehoming reception

Take a number from the dispenser

Get a form - Pink for Cats, Blue for Dogs

Get a pen and clip-board.

Fill in the form while waiting for an interviewer to come and take you away to have a chat.

Get asked a few questions about home, and what you are looking for.

If you are living in rented acommodation you will need written consent from your landlord.

If you pass the test - would be hard not to, you can then go look at the cats/dogs and find the one you want to take home.

You then go down and the pet of your choice is instpected by a nurse, you are let know about any medical issues and get 6 weeks free pet insurance.

You then go pay your cash - £40 for a Cat, £70 for a Dog and then head for home with your new family member.

So now, I would like to introduce Philip (named by previous owner, an old lady who died - name may be changed if he likes :P) an 11 yo British Short hair.

:)

wow, he looks hard as nails! glad he's gone to a loving home.

don't forget to put sunscreen on his nose.

good for you guys. He looks like the friendly sort and a negative image of my last cat. She was all balck you see :D
Hope he settles in well and i'm sure he'd love a more interesting name than Philip ;)

Nice solidly built cat there...

But, they let you have one?!??!

Im just trying to picture it...

Soulkiss: Hello, I would like a cat please....
Interviewer: Are you going to eat it?

They must of given you a funny look with your beard.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice animal though, congrats.

if you get one now you can have it nicely fattened up in time for xmas :-)

He reminds me of Arthur in the Kattomeat ads.


Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

He looks lovely! Philip? Hmm, you gonna rename him?

£70 for a dog?
When I was a lad you went round the farms, got any dogs mister?
You could usually get a mongrel and a piece of bale string for a lead for nothing.
First time I got a slap and made to take it back, but got to keep one eventually.

Old Phil there seems to be taking charge of his new abode.He will have you house trained in no time.

Cheers for the info - Everyone in my house has said, "Yes". The landlady has said, "Yes"...awaiting the landlord's final say-so & installation of cat-flap.
