Blackjack

Female · Senior · 12 years

Meet Blackjack! Blackjack will make you feel like a winner with her adorable personality! She is the most loving, affectionate cat, you won't be able to resist her little meows and unique markings. You won't regret taking home this wonderful girl! Blackjack still has a spring in her step, so she will need outside access but this can be via manual access. As she was an indoor cat previously, she will also need a permanent litter tray provided for her so she has a consistent, safe place to toilet. Blackjack is a friendly, affectionate girl who loves a fuss, but she can be a little worried of children, so she would be best suited to a home with older school age children who can read her body language and give her space if she needs it. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Blackjack, you can e-mail our rehoming team on () to register your interest. the cat you have contacted us about.

About Blackjack

What life with Blackjack looks like

Blackjack is a medium-sized senior cat waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Blackjack, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blackjack?
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 Blackjack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Blackjack 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 Blackjack 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 Blackjack 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 Blackjack 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.
