Valentine (Reserved)
Valentine - a heart full of love seeking a new beginning
Valentine has found himself at Woodlands through no fault of his own - his beloved owner has become too unwell to continue caring for him, bringing this 10-year-old black and white gentleman's world to an unexpected pause. True to his name, he's a cat with love to give, and he's ready to share that affection with a new family who will cherish him as deeply as he was cherished before.
This lovely boy is genuinely friendly and cuddly, the sort of companion who will happily settle in for quality time with his people. Having spent his entire life as an indoor cat in a quiet, adult-only household, Valentine has developed into a calm and content presence who appreciates the security and comfort of home life. His lack of experience with other animals or children isn't a limitation - it simply means he's looking for a peaceful environment where he can continue the lifestyle he knows and loves.
Valentine would thrive in an adults-only home without other pets, where he can be the sole focus of affection and attention. As a mature gentleman who has always lived indoors, he's perfectly suited to apartment living or any home where his humans prefer to keep their feline companion safely inside. He's ideal for someone seeking a settled, affectionate companion who's past the chaos of kittenhood and ready to simply enjoy life's quiet moments together.
For Valentine, the perfect home is one filled with warmth, routine, and the kind of devoted companionship he's always known. He's ready to be someone's loyal valentine once again.
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.
