Our Rehoming Process
All of our applications go through the same three-stage process. This helps us to ensure not only the cats safety, but that you and your new cat are the perfect match. Please also pay special attention to our rehoming rules outlined at the bottom of this webpage.
Rehoming Rules
We will not rehome an adult cat into a home where there are existing adult cats.
We ensure that no cat or kitten is released to its new home until 48 hours after its vaccination.
If there are other pets in the household i.e. dogs, we will normally recommend a kitten unless we have an adult cat who is used to living with dogs. Dogs are able to come to the Sanctuary to be introduced to the cat.
All existing cats in any household must be neutered.
All cats and kittens that leave Woodlands Animal Sanctuary must leave with the food and litter that they are currently using here, this can be purchased from our onsite shop.

Margo
This beautiful girl is Margo!
Margo has the saddest of stories. She arrived with us in early July. She was pregnant, had sore eyes and bad teeth. She was quite grumpy too, but you'd expect that with all those issues and you haven't had anywhere to call home for a long time.
Margo had just started to come round to the staff and volunteers going in with her and she adored her chin tickles. She then gave birth, her kittens were all tiny and although she loved them she knew they weren't well and wouldn't make it. None of her kittens survived despite much help from the team at Woodlands. Margo had many hours of staff and volunteers sitting with her to comfort her through her saddest times as she slowly started to withdraw back into herself.
She is thought to be middle aged, she has been roaming the streets for years, we imagine she has had many litters of kittens over the years and hasn't been cared for, for a very long time. She is though confused about how to behave a will resource guard, particularly her bed. She is looking for a home with a very experienced owner, with no children. She is more than capable of the being the very sweetest cat and loves a cuddle, but it is on her terms.
Margo has had a full health check by our vet, a dental, is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, is up to date with her worming and flea treatments and will also come with 4 weeks insurance with Petplan. Are you the person to give Margo the Christmas she could have previously only dreamed of? If so please fill out our rehoming form.

Molly
This stunning little lady is Molly!
Molly was brought in to us via another rescue as she was found in a garden.

Molly is a young black and white female, approx. 1—2 years of age. She is a lovely girl and despite being through quite a bit she loves attention and a good fuss!
