Cinnamon & Freya - reunited friends looking for a home to match their bond
Cinnamon and Freya came to Woodlands from the same multi-cat household after financial difficulties meant their family could no longer keep them - a difficult situation, but not one that reflects on either of these lovely 1-year-old girls. Having arrived separately, the two reunited & moved together into a bigger pen where they've settled in as a comforting, familiar pairing for one another during an otherwise unsettling time.
Cinnamon, a beautiful tortie, is a little shy by nature but lets you stroke her, showing that beneath her reserve is a girl who's open to gentle connection once she feels safe. Freya, her black and white companion, is altogether more forward - she'll come straight into your arms for a cuddle and a fuss, though she can be a little unsure around new people at first. Together they balance each other nicely, and having a familiar face nearby has clearly helped both girls settle more easily into sanctuary life.
Both Cinnamon and Freya are suited to indoor living and would do best in a home set back from busy roads where they can feel secure. Given Cinnamon's shyness and Freya's initial wariness of new faces, they'd benefit from a calm, patient household that lets them come forward in their own time rather than rushing to win their trust. Their reunion has given them real comfort, and while they can be rehomed together or separately, keeping them as a pair would offer continuity and confidence for two girls who've already been through plenty of change.
Cinnamon and Freya deserve a home that understands gentle patience goes a long way - one that will let Cinnamon's quiet trust grow and give Freya the reassurance she needs around anything new. Whether adopted as a pair or individually, these two girls are ready for a fresh start with people who'll take the time to earn their confidence.




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.
