Fiona (Reserved)
Fiona - petite survivor finding her courage
Fiona's journey to Woodlands tells a story of resilience beyond her young years. This small black beauty was found pregnant and alone, taken in by a kind fosterer just two days before giving birth to six kittens. When her temporary home could no longer keep her, she arrived at the sanctuary understandably frightened, having experienced so much upheaval in such a short time. At just over a year old, she was barely more than a kitten herself when she became a mother.
After 119 days in our care, we've watched Fiona slowly emerge from her shell as she recovers from the physical and emotional demands of raising her babies. Her petite frame and gentle nature belie the strength she's shown in keeping her kittens safe through uncertain circumstances. With no known history before she was found, we've had the privilege of discovering her true personality as she's learned that not all change means danger.
Fiona needs a patient, understanding home where she can continue building the confidence she's been developing with us. She would thrive with calm, gentle owners who appreciate that trust is something earned gradually, not rushed. Her small size and sweet nature make her an endearing companion for someone willing to invest the time in helping her fully blossom into the loving cat she's ready to become.
This brave young girl has given so much already - now it's time for her to receive the stability, safety, and unconditional love she deserves. Fiona is ready to leave her survival days behind and discover what it means to simply be cherished.
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.
