Sage

Female · Young · 1 year

Meet Sage! This inquisitive girlie always likes to know what is going on and will greet you at the pen door with lots of chirrups and head bumps. She loves a fuss especially if it means she gets lots of head and chin rubs. Sage came into Battersea as a stray so we have very little information on her. She can be easily spooked but should be fine to live with an older school aged child who is happy to give her all the time and space she needs to settle. She should be fine to settle into a quiet corner of the home but owners should make sure there is lots of cosy hiding places to her in case she does get worried. Once settled, Sage will need outside access so she can burn off some of her energy and explore the outdoors. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Sage, you can e-mail our rehoming team on () to register your interest. the cat you have contacted us about.

About Sage

What life with Sage looks like

Sage 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 Sage, answered.

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