Sandy - mystery boy ready to write his next chapter
Sandy arrived at Woodlands as a stray with no history known about his past - leaving us to discover his personality and story as we get to know him. This handsome 5-year-old ginger boy has been neutered since admission and is currently receiving his full vet check, vaccinations, worming, and microchipping to ensure he goes to his new home in perfect health. At 5 years old, Sandy is at that wonderful age where he's past the chaos of youth but still has many active, healthy years ahead to share with a family who will finally give him the stability he's been missing.
What makes Sandy's situation both challenging and hopeful is that we're piecing together who he is without the benefit of knowing where he's been. Was he once someone's beloved companion who got lost? Has he been surviving on his own for months or years? We may never know the full story, but what we do know is that he's here now, safe and cared for, and ready for the fresh start he deserves. His neutered status suggests he was owned at some point, making his journey to our doors all the more mysterious and poignant.
As we continue to learn about Sandy's personality, preferences, and ideal home situation, we're committed to finding him the perfect match. His assessment is ongoing, and we'll update his profile as we discover more about this lovely boy. What he needs most is a patient, understanding family willing to give him time to settle and show his true character - a family who sees the potential in a cat with a mysterious past and an uncertain story, but a definite future.
Sandy deserves a home where his past won't define him, where he can finally stop being a mystery and start being someone's cherished companion. At 5 years old, he has so much life and love left to give - he just needs a family willing to discover who he truly is beneath the unknown, and to write the next chapter of his story together. For someone ready to embrace a ginger boy with a blank slate and a hopeful future, Sandy is waiting to reveal himself one day at a time.
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.
