Lady & Inky - bonded sisters ready to grow up together in a loving home

Lady and Inky have come to Woodlands through no fault of their own. Their owner’s ill health meant they could no longer be cared for at home, and the decision to hand them in was made out of love and concern for their wellbeing. It’s never easy for a family to let go, and it’s no reflection on these two delightful young girls. At just six months old, they’re at the very start of their lives, and they’ve faced this upheaval the best way they know how: together.

Lady is a beautiful brown tabby with a lovely long coat, and she’s the shyer of the two. She’s friendly and sweet-natured, but she likes to take things at her own pace and looks to her sister for reassurance when something is new. Inky is a striking black and white girl, the braver one of the pair, and she’s very friendly and quick to say hello. She’s often the one who leads the way, and Lady follows once she sees it’s safe. Between Inky’s confidence and Lady’s gentle nature, they balance each other perfectly.

Both girls are lap cats who love affection and are just as happy curling up for cuddles as they are tearing around at playtime. They’re suitable for homes with young or older children, and they’re suited to indoor living or a home well away from busy roads. Both have been neutered and are ready to go to their new home. Because Lady relies so much on Inky’s company to feel secure, they will only be rehomed together. Separating them would take away the very thing that helps Lady feel brave.

We’re looking for a patient, loving family who will give Lady the time she needs to come out of her shell and give Inky plenty of fun and attention. The right home will see Lady grow in confidence with her sister beside her and will treasure the bond these two share. Together they’ll bring twice the cuddles, twice the play and a whole lot of joy for years to come.

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.
