Marlon & Mike - two confident brothers ready to charm their way into a home

Marlon and Mike came to Woodlands together after financial difficulties meant their family could no longer manage their multi-cat household.  A sad situation, but one that has nothing to do with these two lovely brothers and everything to do with hard choices made out of their control. At 19 and 24 weeks old, Marlon and Mike have wasted no time settling in, and both have shown from day one that they're happy, sociable boys who take life's changes in their stride.

Marlon, a striking chocolate point boy, tucked into his food on his very first night and was already playing enthusiastically with his pen mate by the following morning - a lovely sign of a confident, adaptable kitten who's coping wonderfully. He's adorable and outgoing, the kind of cat who settles fast and makes friends easily. Mike, his black and white brother, is every bit as confident, coming forward to greet people and clearly enjoying a fuss, all while happily playing with his pen mate. Both boys are eating well and putting on weight nicely, every sign of two thriving, contented kittens.

Marlon and Mike are suited to indoor living and would do best in a home set back from busy roads where they can explore safely as they grow. As a bonded pair we will be looking to rehome these boys together. They're still young enough that they'll benefit hugely from a family with time to nurture their playful, sociable natures through this important stage of their development.

These two confident, affectionate brothers deserve homes that are simply ready to embrace the warmth and personality they have to offer. They are asking for nothing more than safety, attention, and the chance to keep growing into the wonderful, outgoing cats they're already showing every sign of becoming.

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.
