This care costs over £320 per cat to Woodlands Animal Sanctuary but rehoming a cat from Woodlands means we only ask for a donation of £95 for one and £180 for a pair.

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.

Skye
* Skye is now at a foster home where she can be viewed*
This lovely girl is Skye!
Skye has now been with us for 7 months now and is desperate for her forever home!
Skye was originally brought in to us in April 2023. She was found on a building site as kids were throwing stones at her. She had hidden under the builders work van and then was brought in to us. Skye then found a new home. She then came into our pet hotel for a holiday when her owner emailed the sanctuary today to say she wouldn't be taking Skye back home as she has been biting the children.
Skye is a 1 year 2 month old all tabby female. She has been lovely while she has been with us. She loves attention, a good fuss and loves playing with her toys. Because of Skye's background, we think that she would suit an experienced home, with no children, no other cats or dogs and somewhere away from a busy / main road where she can go out during the day.
Skye 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. She will need a full vet check before going to her new home. If you would like to register your interest for this lovely girl, please fill out a form!

Ruby is an approx 3 - 4 year old, black female. She is a very loving and sweet girl. She adores a good fuss by our staff and volunteers!

Sootie
This beautiful girl is Sootie!
Sootie was originally from us 4 years ago as her owner had sadly passed away. A gentleman came and took her on but has had to bring her back to us for rehoming due to ill health.
Sootie is an 18 year old, black female. She has an amazing outgoing personality and loves to be brushed! She is slightly overweight so is on a diet. Sootie will be rehomed on a long-term foster basis due to her age. We think she would be ideal for a couple with no children, no existing cats/dogs and she has always been a house cat.
Sootie has had a health check by our vet, has had her 1st vaccination, is microchipped, spayed, is up to date with her worming and flea treatments and will also come with 4 weeks Insurance with Petplan.

Missy
This cutie pie is Missy!
Missy was originally with us in 2020 as she had been brought in as a stray. She was then rehomed to a family. She was then handed back in to us via a vets as she had been found as a stray again. We tracked down the owners and they said they no longer wanted her as she had been missing for a year and they now had other commitments.
Missy is a 6 1/2 yr old tabby female. She can be quite timid but when shes in the mood (or that she likes you!) she loves a good fuss and attention. We think Missy would flourish in a home with no children, no other cats/dogs and somewhere away from a busy / main road where she could possibly go out during the day.

Molly
This stunning little lady is Molly!
Molly has now been with us for 11 months and is desperate for her forever home!
Molly was brought in to us via another rescue as she was found in a garden. She had been there for several days, the people who found her had 4 big dogs, so they have put Molly in the shed at night with a heater and fed her ham and milk. She was taken to the local vets as she looks like she has an old bite wound on her front leg. This has now been treated and has healed really well!
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! As we are unsure of Molly's background we would probably recommend a home with no children, no other cats or dogs and somewhere aware from a busy / main road where she can go out during the day.
Molly has had a full vet check, is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, up to date with her worming and flea treatments and will also come with 4 weeks insurance with Petplan. Could you be this lovely girls furever home? If so please fill out a form to register your interest!

Lucy
This beautiful girl is Lucy!
Lucy was brought in to us via another rescue as a stray. We found that she was chipped but that the registered owner had rehomed her and not changed the details. The new owner no longer wanted her and neither did her old owner as she had got a dog and Lucy did not get on with it.
Lucy is a black female, approx 7 year old. She is a very sweet girl but she will need someone who is willing to put the time in to help bring her out of herself as she can be quite shy (which is certainly understandable under the circumstances) We think that Lucy would suit a nice quite home without children, no other pets and somewhere away from a main/busy road where she could possibly go out during the day .
