Winnie's 3 kittens - littermates finding their next chapter

Winnie's 3 kittens arrived with us alongside their devoted mum, Winnie, after a nieghbour brought them to us because they were living as strays in a garden after their owners moved. These three 9-week-old littermates - black and white beauty Winnie Kitten 1, and tabby and white brothers Winnie Kitten 2 and Winnie Kitten 3 - have only ever known life with their mum and each other. While they've been blessed with her care and companionship, they're now at that perfect age where they're ready to move forward into their own lives, whether that's together as a trio, in pairs, or individually finding their perfect homes.

What makes these three special is the strong bond they share as littermates. They've spent their nine weeks playing together, learning from each other, and providing constant entertainment and comfort. Their mum has given them a wonderful foundation of confidence and sociability, and they're ready to take what they've learned into their new homes. While separation isn't ideal and we'd love to see them stay together, we understand that different families have different needs - some may be ready for all three, others for a pair, and others for just one. The choice can be made based on what works best for each family.

At just 9 weeks old, the kittens are at that perfect age where they're full of personality, energy, and readiness to bond with their new families. They're past the tiniest kitten stage but still young enough to adapt beautifully to new environments and people. Whether they find homes together or separately, each of these kittens will bring joy, playfulness, and affection to their forever family. They need patient, loving owners ready to give them the stable, secure homes they deserve.

These lovely kittens have had the gift of their one of our experienced fosters, so they are confident and well-socialized. They are ready to flourish in their next chapter - whether that chapter includes their littermates or takes them on individual adventures. They're asking for families who will love them, care for them, and give them the forever homes where they can grow into the wonderful cats they're already becoming.

As they are with a fosterer, please phone to make an appointment to view them.  01704 823293

Our Rehoming Process

At Woodlands Animal Sanctuary we understand the importance of placing our animals in the right forever home. That’s why we ensure that all applicants go through the same three-stage process. This helps us to ensure not only the animals safety, but that you and your new friend are the perfect match.

Application & Appointment

Our rehoming process starts with you booking an appointment to view our rehoming cattery, alongside an application form which helps us to best understand which cats will suit your needs and lifestyle. On your visit we will introduce you to selected cats, and discuss your requirements and the available cats’ characteristics in more detail. The appointment should take between 30-45 minutes and will give you the chance to get up close and know your future furry friend(s) just to make sure there is a perfect match between you and the chosen cat!

Step One

Step Two

Home Check

Once you’ve been matched with your cat(s) and your application has been approved on-site, your details and application will be passed onto one of our home checkers for final vetting, who will contact you and arrange a home visit or perform some additional checks over the phone.
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.
