Petulia

Female · Kitten · 10 months

Purrrrrrrrct Petulia is patiently waiting for her forever home. Could you be the lucky ones to be her forever Humans? Petulia is a small, slinky, shinny black beauty with a fun loving sweet lady. She is a real clever clogs when it comes to an enrichment feeder just watch her go, no food will be left when she’s done. She draws you in with her quirky cute chirps and silly goofy personality rolling around, slipping of your lap. She enjoys attention, purring and cuddling on laps but not for long as she is a bit of a fidget just adding to her charm. Petulia is looking for a quiet home were people will let her lead interaction. She would really thrive in a home where she's left to settle before having attention. Petulia would like to be the only animal in her new home, due to her sensitive nature. She would love outside access to a private garden, and her own settling room when she comes home with you. If the household is quieter, she could be settled into a quiet corner of the home. Petulia is also happy to live with children who will give her the space she needs before interacting. She’s a real charmer and will have her new humans wrapped around her paws.

About Petulia

What life with Petulia looks like

Petulia 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 Petulia, answered.

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