Here’s the questions people are asking about Battersea Dogs & Cats Home

Yes, families with children are welcome. Visits are typically in the form of guided tours or structured open days rather than free-roaming access, so children get a supervised, educational experience.

Not at all. Battersea offers tours and open days for people who simply want to learn about their work and meet the animals, even if they are not currently looking to adopt.

Charges and availability can vary depending on the type of visit. Check Battersea's official website for the latest information on tour costs and booking.

The Battersea site has some accessibility provisions, but the nature of the kennels and cattery can mean certain areas have limited access. It is worth contacting Battersea directly ahead of your visit to confirm accessibility arrangements.

Privately owned pet dogs are not permitted on site during public visits, to protect the welfare and stress levels of the rescue animals in residence.

A guided tour typically lasts around one to two hours, though this can vary depending on the type of event or visit you have booked.
