Hank

Male · Young · 2 years

Beautiful Hank is a sensitive soul who has blossomed into the most sweet, friendly boy! He loves to sit beside his people, purring and nudging for strokes and brushes, and also sometimes likes to settle down on a lap. More than anything though, Hank likes to head nudge the people he loves, nuzzling his face into yours to show his affection, purring and kneading away. He enjoys a play when in the mood, and also likes to spend time exploring and watching what's going on, following his people around so he can be involved! Handsome Hank is looking for a home with 24/7 outside access to a private garden via a cat flap, allowing him to come and go as he pleases. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Hank, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest. a match for the cat you have contacted us about.

About Hank

What life with Hank looks like

Hank is a medium-sized young 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 Hank, answered.

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