Rehoming a cat can be a rewarding and exciting experience but it is important that you understand the commitment can be anything up to twenty years of your life.
Rehoming Animals since 2005At Woodlands Animal Sanctuary we understand that all our animals’ health and well-being is paramount. We work with Rufford Veterinary Group to ensure that all our cats and kittens receive the highest standards of care and medical treatment possible before being rehomed. This includes:
This care costs over £175 per cat to Woodlands Animal Sanctuary but rehoming a cat from Woodlands means we only ask for a donation of £85. |
All of our applications go through the same three-stage process. This helps us to ensure not only the cats safety, but that you and your new cat are the perfect match. Please also pay special attention to our rehoming rules outlined at the bottom of this webpage.

At Woodlands we admit cats every week who are in need of a new home. We understand that choosing a cat to rehome can be hard, so if you cannot see a cat that you would like to meet, then why not join our waiting list using the form on the right. We will send you monthly updates on our new arrivals and more information on rehoming a cat.
Belle came to Woodlands Animal Sanctuary after being brought into Rufford vets as a very unwell stray cat in need a new and loving family.
Jinx came to Woodlands Animal Sanctuary when his owners were moving into an assisted living facility and could not take him with them.
Milo and Mitsy were originally rehomed by us as kittens but unfortunately their owners circumstances changed and they were unable to stay.
Storm and Nado have unfortunately found themselves at Woodlands Animal Sanctuary for the third time due to no fault of their own.
Rehoming RulesWe 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. 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. |
