Battersea milestone: Canine Cottages raises £100,000
We’re thrilled to announce that our dog-friendly brand, Canine Cottages, has raised over £100,000 for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
It’s a huge achievement and we want to say a massive thank you to our team and donors, who have put in an incredible effort and shown massive generosity.
Canine Cottages has been a proud partner of Battersea since March 2021, and this money has been raised over the last 4 years. We are so pleased with the impact we’ve had to date and will continue to support Battersea into the future to continue their vital work.
Why we support Battersea
Battersea is one of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities, working for over 160 years, and it has helped more than 3 million dogs and cats.
They provide necessary expert care to all animals in need, taking in animals regardless of their age, breed or medical condition. Our support is helping Battersea rehabilitate and rehome pets across their three centres, covering everyday essentials, backing their fostering programmes, and supporting staff and volunteers in their daily roles, alongside training and sharing resources with rescue organisations around the world.
Our sponsorship and campaigns
Since Canine Cottages’ partnership with Battersea began, we have been proud sponsors of The Battersea Way – an email newsletter that provides free expert advice and online training to pet owners. This email advice series provides pet owners with all the necessary resources to build astrong, healthy relationship with their pets.
Alongside our sponsorship, we have a curated property collection on the Canine Cottages website. Battersea receives a £20 donation* every time a cottage in our Canine Comforts Collection is booked.
Wear Blue for Rescue is Battersea’s annual campaign that takes place every September, looking to raise awareness and funds for animals in need. Our team at Canine Cottages works hard promoting this important campaign, championing the cause and helping to share Battersea’s message.
Reaching a milestone
At Travel Chapter, we are delighted to be able to celebrate this milestone of £100,000 in donations to such a well-loved UK charity.
Julian Holmes-Taylor, Director of Income Generation at Battersea, said:
“We are incredibly grateful to have had the continued support of Canine Cottages for more than 4 years running. Thanks to their efforts through sponsorship, sharing our expert advice with pet owners, and donations through their Canine Comforts range, we are able to continue our vital work and be there for every dog and cat that needs us.”
Mike Oakey, Chief Marketing Officer at Travel Chapter, said:
"At Canine Cottages, we believe every dog deserves love, care, and a forever home. We’re incredibly proud to have raised over £100,000 for Battersea, supporting their vital work in rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats in need. From expert veterinary care to life-changing fostering programmes, our partnership is making a real difference − one wagging tail at a time. We look forward to continuing this journey together, helping even more animals find the second chance they deserve.”
Achieving this milestone is a real marker of success and a sign of a great partnership. We look forward to providing support to this vital charity well into the future.
*These donations were unrestricted, and Battersea will spend these where the need is greatest.
Canine Cottages will give £20 + VAT every time a Canine Comfort property is booked to Battersea Dogs Home Limited which donates its profits to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home (registered charity number:206394).
