George - loving soul facing her second chance with grace
George's story is one that tugs at the heart. This beautiful 11-month-old black girl was born right here at Woodlands and found what we thought would be her forever home at just 9 weeks old. She settled in beautifully, became the loving, playful companion we knew she'd be, and spent the better part of a year being cherished. But today she's back with us, returned through a change in circumstances that has brought her young life full circle to where it began. Despite this upheaval, George has remained exactly what she's always been - a very loving cat who adores fuss and play.
What makes George's resilience so remarkable is that her sweet nature hasn't been diminished by disappointment. She's still the affectionate girl who seeks out attention and cuddles, still playful and full of the energy you'd expect from a cat approaching her first birthday. Her loving personality has survived being uprooted from the only proper home she's known, proving that her capacity for affection runs deep and true. George knows what it means to be part of a family, and she's ready to open her heart again to people who will treasure that devotion.
George would thrive in a home suited to indoor living where her playful, affectionate nature can shine. She's ideal for a family who appreciates a cat that genuinely loves human company - one who'll seek you out for fuss, engage enthusiastically in play, and bring warmth and joy to everyday life. What George needs most is permanence and stability - a home where changed circumstances won't mean changed homes, where her loving nature will be returned in full measure, and where she can finally settle without the shadow of uncertainty.
This lovely girl has already proven her capacity for love and her wonderful temperament. She deserves a family who will make promises and keep them, who understand that adopting means forever regardless of what changes life brings. George is asking for her second chance to be her last - a home where her playful spirit and loving heart will be cherished for all the years ahead, where she'll never have to come back to the sanctuary again.
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.
