This March/April, brave souls from a variety of different companies are gathering in teams, coming together and 
giving up their warm beds and home comforts to spend a night under the stars to raise much needed funds for Battersea Dog's and Cat's home. Stray Over 2019 is the second year of a new sleep out event for the corporate sector and the night will see over 400 people from various industries across the UK taking the chilly challenge to sleep out at one of the famous charity’s centres in either Windsor or London. The nights are being held to raise awareness of the plight of the thousands of stray and abandoned animals that arrive at Battersea’s gates every year. We are firm believers that no animal deserves to be kicked out
onto the streets and that they all deserve care, respect and a loving home.

Help support those camping under the stars in Windsor and London and crucially change the lives of dogs and cats by donating to this just giving page. 

Who we are and what we do:

Established in 1860, Battersea aims never to turn away a dog or cat in need of our help, caring for them until their owners or loving new homes can be found, no matter how long it takes. We are champions for, and supporters of, vulnerable dogs and cats, determined to create lasting changes for animals in our society.

Since it was founded, Battersea has rescued, reunited and rehomed over 3.1 million dogs and cats and in 2017 Battersea cared for over 7000 dogs and cats. Battersea cares for an average of 270 dogs and 200 cats across its three centres at any one time. There is no time limit on how long an animal can stay at the charity but the average stay for a dog is 38 days and 22 days for a cat. We need funds to continue to care and rehome thousands of animals that need us.
