Tilly

Greyhound · Female · Young · 2 years

Meet Tilly! This gorgeous girl took some time to settle but now that she has she has shown us what an affectionate and playful girl she is. She is currently on foster and her carer says that Tilly is her little shadow and loves to know everything that is going on. She is a smoochy girl who loves a head and chin rub and will snuggle up beside you for a snooze. The best way to make friends with this lady is through play; she has lots of energy and an adorable habit of bringing her favourite toys over to her foster carer for play time. Tilly is a an easily worried girl and will need a calm and settled home with adults or sensible teens. She will need to be settled into a spare room with all her resources close by and lots of cosy hiding places for her. Once she is settled into her home, she will need access to a private garden. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Tilly, you can e-mail our rehoming team at to register your interest. e cat you have contacted us about.

About Tilly

What life with Tilly looks like

Tilly is a medium-sized young adult greyhound 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 Tilly, answered.

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