"It's fantastic that Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is still going strong after 150 years. As a dog lover myself, I fully support the work of the Home. Rescuing a dog or cat is such a fulfilling and rewarding experience as I have found with Buster, Olga and Bullseye! I would recommend anyone to consider getting their pet from a rescue home like Battersea. It's great to think of the thousands of animals they've helped over the years - long may it continue!" Paul O'Grady "For 150 years Battersea Dogs & Cats Home has been salvation for thousands of dogs and cats. The staff are incredible and I sincerely wishand hope they are around for at least another 150 years" Simon Cowell "Congratulations Battersea! The cats and dogs who find their way here are the lucky ones." Judi Dench "The story is all here: compassion, determination, adversity, politics, wartime cares, 21st Century carelessness." -- Libby Purves Mail on Sunday 20100725
