Renamed Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, it shelters and cares for 500 dogs and 150 cats which are lost or abandoned. A spokesman said: "Many people are still unaware that the home rescues, reunites and re-homes hundreds of cats every year, and has done since 1883. "Our feline friends are such a big part of the home so it's only right that we make their status official." Founded by animal lover Mary Tealby in 1860, the home moved to Battersea, in south-west London, from its original home in Holloway, north London, in 1871. In 1896 it took in 42,500 dogs - its biggest ever annual intake. The home also has centres in Old Windsor in Berkshire and Brands Hatch in Kent. |

I used to live 5 minutes walk from Battersea Dogs Home, and if the wind
was blowing in the right direction you could hear the dogs sometimes, broke my heart but I lived in a flat where dogs weren't allowed so had to have blinkers on when I walked past the place. |
