Willow - free spirit seeking the right understanding
Willow came to us when her owner sadly passed away, leaving this 5-year-4-month-old grey and white shorthair to navigate a world that's suddenly changed around her. With her naturally sassy character, she's made it quite clear that she has very specific ideas about how life should be lived – and being an indoor lap cat isn't part of that vision.
This independent lady operates entirely on her own terms when it comes to human contact and affection. She's the sort of cat who needs space to be herself rather than fitting into someone else's idea of what a pet should be. Willow will require a generous transition period in any new home as she decides whether you're worthy of her approval.
Willow needs a quiet home where she can maintain her independence and have outdoor access away from busy roads. She's perfect for someone who appreciates cats for their wild, independent nature and understands that the best relationships with some cats are built on mutual respect rather than constant interaction. Simply put, Willow needs to be left to be a cat.

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.
