Missy - playful friend ready for her forever home
Missy came to Woodlands through the saddest of circumstances - her owner's declining health made it impossible to continue caring for her. This beautiful 1.5 year old tabby and white girl should still be settled into the security of the home she knows, enjoying the routine and companionship she's always had. Instead, she now finds herself facing uncertainty, separated from the person she loved. Yet despite this heartbreaking upheaval, Missy has retained something wonderful: she remains genuinely playful and friendly, suggesting a cat with a resilient spirit and a genuine love of people and interaction.
What makes Missy so absolutely delightful is her wonderful personality combined with her excellent early socialization. She's playful and full of energy, bringing joy and entertainment wherever she goes. She's friendly with everyone she meets, approaching people with warmth and trust rather than wariness or withdrawal. Her well-socialized nature means she's adaptable to various living situations and genuinely enjoys human company. What's particularly interesting is that while she hasn't actually lived with children before, she got on beautifully with children when family members visit - suggesting she has a patient, easygoing temperament that works well with younger people.
At 1.5 years old, Missy is at that wonderful age where she's young enough to have many active, healthy years ahead, yet mature enough to be a settled, predictable companion. She would suit a home away from busy roads where she can feel secure and safe. Her playful nature combined with her friendly disposition makes her ideal for active families, quiet households, or anywhere in between - she's genuinely adaptable and seems to thrive on positive human interaction.
This lovely girl has already proven what a wonderful companion she can be through her playfulness, friendliness, and excellent socialization. Now she deserves a family who will treasure her warm personality, celebrate her playful spirit, and give her the security and permanence she's been missing. For someone ready to welcome a well-socialized, playful, friendly cat who gets along with children and brings joy and energy to her home, Missy is ready to show you just how much love and companionship she has to give.
Our Rehoming Process
Application & Appointment
Step One
Step Two
Home Check
After this, we will arrange an appointment with you to pick up your new friend, as well as the required food and litter which is available to purchase at our on-site shop.
Rehoming
From the initial appointment to collection usually takes between 7-10 days. When you come to collect your new cat(s), you will just need to sign the relevant paperwork, as well as paying the donation fee via our website. Prior to release all cats will have the necessary vaccinations and medical treatments - all signed off by our vet.
Step Three
Rehoming Rules
- We will not rehome an adult cat into a home where there are existing adult cats.
- We won't home single kittens without another cat present. Rehoming a single kitten doesn't meet welfare standards as it will have no social interaction with other cats. This means that if you already have an adult you can have one kitten. If you don't have an adult cat, you can take an established adult cat or two kittens.
- 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.
