Patrick, Annabelle & Jonathan - three siblings, three big personalities

These three lovely 24-week-old siblings came to Woodlands together after financial difficulties meant their family could no longer manage their multi-cat household.  A heartbreaking but understandable reason for young cats to need a fresh start, and one that says nothing about how wonderful they are. Patrick and Annabelle, both tabbies, came with their brother Jonathan, a striking black and white boy from a multi-cat home. Despite the upheaval, the siblings have settled in beautifully, each showing their own distinct character while clearly benefiting from the comfort of having each other close by.

Patrick is a warm, friendly boy with a healthy appetite who's putting on weight well - every sign of a happy kitten coping brilliantly with change. Annabelle is the confident one of the trio, wonderfully self-assured with people and full of energy, often found playing enthusiastically with her siblings. Jonathan is the affectionate soul of the group - he tucked into his food from the moment he arrived and absolutely loves a fuss, actively seeking out attention and connection. Together, they show just how adaptable and resilient young cats can be when given the right support.

All three 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. They're still young enough that their personalities are developing daily, and they'll thrive with a family who has time to give them attention and guidance through their first year.

Patrick, Annabelle and Jonathan deserve homes that are simply ready to love them the way circumstances meant their previous families couldn't keep doing. Whether kept together, adopted in pairs, or found loving homes individually, these three are asking for nothing more than warmth, safety, and the chance to keep growing into the confident, contented 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.
