Bill & Ben - two friendly brothers who can't get enough of a fuss

Bill and Ben came to Woodlands together from the same multi-cat household after financial difficulties meant their family could no longer keep them - a hard situation, but not one that reflects on these two lovely 11-month-old boys in the slightest. Both brothers have settled in with real ease, eating well from the start and showing all the signs of confident, contented cats who are coping brilliantly with the upheaval they've faced.

Bill is a thoroughly friendly boy who loves nothing more than a fuss, greeting attention with open enthusiasm. Ben is every bit as sociable - very confident with people, always keen to be fussed, and happiest when playing with his siblings. Together they bring an easy, affectionate energy that makes them a joy to spend time with, each one bolstering the other's confidence as they settle into this new chapter.

Both Bill and Ben are suited to indoor living and would do best in a home set back from busy roads where they can settle and explore safely. Their confidence and friendliness make them wonderfully easy cats to introduce into a new home.

These two affectionate, outgoing brothers deserve a home ready to match their warmth with plenty of attention and company. These two are now a bonded pair & we will only rehome them together.  They are ready to settle in and show their new family just how much love and fuss they have to offer.

Our Rehoming Process

At Woodlands Animal Sanctuary we understand the importance of placing our animals in the right forever home. That’s why we ensure that all applicants go through the same three-stage process. This helps us to ensure not only the animals safety, but that you and your new friend are the perfect match.

Application & Appointment

Our rehoming process starts with you booking an appointment to view our rehoming cattery, alongside an application form which helps us to best understand which cats will suit your needs and lifestyle. On your visit we will introduce you to selected cats, and discuss your requirements and the available cats’ characteristics in more detail. The appointment should take between 30-45 minutes and will give you the chance to get up close and know your future furry friend(s) just to make sure there is a perfect match between you and the chosen cat!

Step One

Step Two

Home Check

Once you’ve been matched with your cat(s) and your application has been approved on-site, your details and application will be passed onto one of our home checkers for final vetting, who will contact you and arrange a home visit or perform some additional checks over the phone.
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.
