Pimlico

Male · Young · 1 year

Come and say hi to the one and only Pimlico! Pimlico is a beautiful boy both inside and out. He loves spending time with his favourite people and quickly becomes their shadow. Wherever you go, Pimlico isn't too far behind! This sweet boy enjoys having attention and will lean in for a fuss, purring away. Pimlico is the perfect mix of sociable and independent. He enjoys company and will often sit next to you or curl up on your lap. He also likes to have a play with his string toy and will happily stay in the same room as you observing his surroundings. Pimlico is looking for a quiet home with routine and predictability in which he can lead interactions and know what to expect. He would like to be the only animal and will need a permanent litter tray. Pimlico would also love outside access to a private garden and his own settling room when he arrives home. He’s happy to live with teenagers and above who respect his boundaries. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Pimlico, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest. e cat you have contacted us about.

About Pimlico

What life with Pimlico looks like

Pimlico is a 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 Pimlico, answered.

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