Flo - A Devoted Young Mum, Ready for Her Own Happy Ending
Flo arrived at Woodlands very frightened, in poor condition, and covered in fleas, with her tiny kittens at her side. The fleas were treated immediately, and it wasn't long before Flo realised she was somewhere safe. Given the state she came in, it says a great deal about her spirit that she went from terrified to trusting so quickly.
Underneath that initial fear was always a really friendly, affectionate girl who adores a fuss. Flo let us handle both her and her kittens without any issue, and she proved to be a truly excellent mother — feeding her litter well, keeping them clean and settled, and taking her job as mum seriously right up until each of them found their own loving homes. Now that her kittens have all been successfully rehomed, it's Flo's turn.
Flo is suitable for both indoor and outdoor living, and she'd do best in a home set well away from busy roads. Having given so much of herself to raising her family, she's now ready to be the sole focus of a home of her own, where all that warmth and affection can be hers to give freely.
It takes real courage for a frightened new mother to let strangers close to her kittens, and Flo did exactly that — and more. She raised her babies beautifully and saw every one of them off to a new start. Now she deserves the same: an adopter who can give her the calm, secure life she's clearly built to enjoy, with all the fuss and attention she loves.
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.
