Pickle - gentle companion seeking his forever home
Pickle came to Woodlands because his owner was unable to continue keeping him, forced to make the difficult decision to surrender this lovely boy due to changed circumstances. This beautiful 2-year-6-month-old ginger has been part of a multi-cat household, proving himself to be a sociable, easygoing presence among feline friends. At this stage of his life, when he should be settled into security and routine, Pickle finds himself facing uncertainty instead. Yet despite this disruption, this quiet, friendly boy has maintained his essential sweetness and his genuine love of human attention.
What makes Pickle so wonderful is his perfectly balanced personality. He's a genuine lap cat who absolutely loves attention and cuddles - the sort of cat who will happily settle on your knee for hours, clearly relishing the connection and affection that comes with being close to his people. Yet he's also playful and full of energy when the mood strikes, bringing entertainment and joy to his home. This combination of being both affectionate and entertaining makes him ideal for families seeking a companion who can be both a cuddly comfort and a fun playmate. His quiet nature means he's not demanding or overwhelming; he simply enjoys being in the presence of people he loves.
Pickle is already neutered and ready to go to his forever home. He's suited to indoor living and would thrive in homes away from busy roads where he can feel safe and secure. His comfort with other cats means he could adapt beautifully to multi-cat households if that's what his new family offers. He's suitable for children over 8 years old, making him ideal for families with older kids who can appreciate and respect his quiet, affectionate nature.
This lovely boy deserves a family who will appreciate his gentle, loving personality, who will give him the attention he clearly craves, and who will ensure he never has to face displacement again. Pickle is asking for something beautifully simple - a home where his quietness will be valued, where his lap cat affection will be indulged, and where he can settle into the security and routine he's been missing. For someone ready to welcome a quiet, friendly companion who loves attention and brings calm, steady affection to a home, Pickle is waiting to show you just how rewarding it is to have a cat who genuinely loves being with people.
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.
