Willow A devoted young mum ready for a life of her own
Willow is a beautiful two-year-old tabby who came to us alongside her litter of kittens. The kittens were unwanted and were being given away for free, and Willow was handed in with them. It’s a story we see far too often, and it says nothing about Willow herself. She did everything asked of her and more, and now it’s her turn to be looked after.
Willow was a calm, attentive mother who raised her kittens with real patience and dedication. Her kittens are now weaned, and Willow has been spayed in line with our policy before rehoming, so her days of motherhood are behind her. That same gentle, steady nature is what she’ll bring to her new home. She’s a young cat with plenty of life ahead of her, and she deserves the chance to rest, relax and be the centre of someone’s attention for a change.
Willow is suitable for indoor living, which makes her a good match for a calm home where she can settle in safely. If her new family would like to give her outdoor access, she would need a home well away from busy roads. Our team will be happy to talk through her needs and how she might fit into your household.
We’re looking for someone who will give Willow the quiet, secure and loving home she has earned. She’s spent her early life giving to others, and the right family will understand how much it means to offer her stability, comfort and a place that’s truly her own.
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.
