Violet - devoted mum ready to be treasured
Violet arrived on September 26th with her five kittens when her owner's mental health struggles made it impossible to continue providing the care they needed. This beautiful 7-year-old white shorthair came to us bearing the signs of a household in crisis – flea dirt on her coat and the weight of maternal responsibility – yet her remarkably friendly and loving nature remained completely intact.
What's truly wonderful about Violet is how her affectionate character has endured despite her challenging circumstances. She genuinely loves human interaction and seems to find real comfort in people's company, as if she remembers what it feels like to be someone's cherished companion rather than simply a busy mum. At 7 years old, she's in that perfect sweet spot – mature enough to be calm and settled, but young enough to have many wonderful years ahead as someone's devoted friend.
Violet will be ready for rehoming towards the end of November, once her kittens reach 9 weeks old and she's been spayed a couple of weeks later. She'd thrive in a home with older children, perfectly suited to indoor living away from busy roads, and has proven she gets along well with other cats. After giving so much of herself to raising her babies in difficult circumstances, this lovely girl is ready to finally be the centre of attention in a family who'll ensure she never has to worry about anything 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 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.
