Dave - affectionate companion who is looking for the cuddles
This handsome 2-year-7-month-old white tabby kept appearing in a kind lady's garden, clearly having decided that this was where he wanted to be. She would have gladly kept him, but her elderly 18-year-old cat with dementia simply couldn't cope with the disruption of such an enthusiastic young visitor.
What's immediately clear about Dave is his absolute devotion to human company. This is a cat who adores being around people and genuinely thrives on attention and interaction – he'd be perfectly suited to a household where someone's home most of the time, as he's the sort of chap who likes to be involved in everything. Very loving and affectionate, he's equally happy providing cuddles or engaging in enthusiastic play, making him wonderful company for anyone who appreciates an interactive companion.
Dave would suit a home with older children who can match his energy and give him the attention he clearly craves. He's perfectly adapted to indoor living away from busy roads and has shown he can live with other cats, provided they're younger and more tolerant than the elderly lady he inadvertently overwhelmed. This lovely boy simply wants to be someone's devoted shadow – and frankly, after choosing that garden so persistently, he's proven he knows exactly what he's looking for in a home.

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.
