Covid-19
Due to the outbreak of the Corona Virus and new DEFRA guidelines, we are rehoming cats and guinea pigs using a new, minimal contact process. You can find out more information about this via the Rehoming page. We will still accept cat and hedgehog admissions as normal with new social distancing procedures. Physical donations are still welcomed but will have to be left infront of the Shop. We will be keeping everyone up to date on our Social Media accounts, you can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
Made up of a dedicated team of Staff and Volunteers, Woodlands Animal Sanctuary aim to help neglected, unwanted and ill animals

What’s your reaction to Peanut?
Peanut came to us due to behavioural issues, and whilst we know this could mean he is more difficult to rehome, this doesn’t mean we think he is any less deserving!...
