Ladybug

Female · Adult · 7 years

Come and meet our beautiful Lady Bug she's ready to fly her way into your heart! Lady Bug is simply wonderfully and has a number of amazing qualities that make her stand out from the crowd. She is a funny lady, very agile and will climb on shoulders and on backs purring away using you as her very own climbing frames. She will often lay across a carer's shoulder with her paws dangling down taking advantage of her extra height watching the world go by. Lady Bug draws people in with her sweet gentle side and she loves to climb all over you, snuggling on laps getting as much love as possible. Lady Bug has a beautiful voice and will greet her favourite people with adorable chirps. Lady Bug will be a loving companion that will steal your heart. Lady Bug is a wonderful affectionate lady looking for a home to call her own. She would really thrive in a home where she's the only animal to get all the love she deserves. She would love outside access to a private garden. She can be settled into a quiet corner with loads of hidey hole options for her to use until she is finds her paws in her new home. She will be fine living with school age children and above.

About Ladybug

What life with Ladybug looks like

Ladybug 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 Ladybug, answered.

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