Roxie - gentle soul seeking her peaceful retirement
Roxie's world changed when her beloved owner sadly passed away, leaving this 15-year-old black domestic shorthair in the temporary care of a kind relative until she can find her forever home. Despite such upheaval at her mature age, this remarkably soft and gentle lady has maintained the serene, trusting nature that's clearly been her hallmark throughout her long life.
What's wonderful about Roxie is how her years of experience have refined her into the perfect companion cat. She's brilliant with young children, gets along beautifully with other cats, and has mastered the art of being excellent company without being demanding. A true lap cat, she appreciates the quieter pleasures of life – supervised garden time, soft meals (she's down to just two teeth but manages perfectly well), and the companionship of people who understand that the best relationships are built on gentle routine and mutual contentment.
Roxie would suit a peaceful household away from busy roads where she can enjoy her golden years with the dignity she deserves. Her slight deafness and preference for soaked biscuits are simply the reasonable accommodations that come with a lifetime of being someone's treasured companion. Recent vet checks confirm she's remarkably healthy for her age – this lovely lady has many comfortable years ahead, ready to spend them with a family who appreciates that senior cats often make the most devoted and grateful companions.

- 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.
