Arnold

Male · Kitten · 2 months

This handsome little fella is Arnold! Arnold is a smoochy and playful kitten who will follow you every where you go and will climb on you as soon as you settle so he can snuggle up and enjoy a cuddle. He is super playful and has many mad moments especially with his brother! They both enjoy running around playing with their ping pong balls and wrestling each other. Arnold is a sweet boy who should be fine to live with a school aged child who will spend lots of time playing with him and keeping him occupied. He is quite a bold kitten and should be fine to settle into a quiet corner with all his resources close by and plenty of cosy hiding places as he will likely be worried for the first day or two. Arnold has lots of energy and will need outside access once settled. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Arnold, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest. e cat you have contacted us about.

About Arnold

What life with Arnold looks like

Arnold is a medium-sized puppy/kitten cat waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arnold, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arnold?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arnold on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arnold if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Arnold already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Arnold isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arnold and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
