Coco & Fifi - devoted companions facing loss together

Coco and Fifi have arrived at Woodlands through the saddest of circumstances - their owner has passed away, leaving 2-year-old tabby and white Coco and her 9-month-old black and white companion Fifi without the home and person they knew. Coco came in alongside Fifi's mum and two other siblings, but it's these two who have formed a special bond with each other, finding comfort and security in their friendship during this difficult time. They will be rehomed together as the bonded pair they've become, ensuring they never have to face loss and uncertainty alone again.

What makes this pair particularly touching is how they've supported each other through upheaval. Very friendly Coco, with her gentle nature and warmth toward people, provides stability and reassurance to younger Fifi as they navigate their new reality together. Their bond means they'll settle far more confidently into a new home than single cats might - they entertain and comfort each other constantly, making the transition easier for both of them and bringing double the joy to their forever family.

Both girls arrived needing some care - neither was vaccinated or microchipped, and both had evidence of fleas though they're now being treated and will go to their new home in perfect health. They're comfortable with young children, making them ideal for families looking to add feline members who can grow alongside their kids. Their friendly, adaptable nature suggests they'll slot beautifully into family life, bringing warmth, companionship, and the special dynamic that only bonded cats can offer.

Coco and Fifi have already lost their person and their home - they shouldn't have to lose each other too. These lovely girls deserve a family who will keep their bond intact, who will appreciate having two affectionate companions instead of one, and who will ensure they never have to face loss or separation again. For a family ready to open their hearts to a bonded pair, the reward is double the purrs, double the personality, and the profound satisfaction of giving two devoted friends the secure, loving home they desperately need.

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.
