Adopt Dr. McDreamy

Male · Adult · 7 years

Pick me, choose me, love me! Meet Battersea's own Dr. McDreamy. McDreamy is ready to get your heart racing (but no more than a healthy average of 100bpm!). How can you resist this handsome boy with his unique ears and chubby face! McDreamy is the loveliest, smoochiest cat and adores a fuss, his head bumps will make your heart melt. He loves a lap and will be purring away like a little engine, slowly lulling you to sleep so you can't get up! He also has bursts of energy and likes to chase his string toy around and to explore his territory, so he will need outside access to a private garden he can patrol and watch the visiting birds and insects! As McDreamy can let you know when he's had enough of being stroked, he will need to live with older school age children who can give him the space he needs. He will also need a permanent litter tray in his new home. McDreamy is a chatty boy and expect him to greet you in the mornings, and throughout the day inform you of everything he's been up to with little chirps and trills!

About Dr. McDreamy

What life with Dr. McDreamy looks like

Dr. McDreamy is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧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 Dr. McDreamy, answered.

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