Adopt a rescue cat

There’s a one-off fee to rehome a cat with us. It costs:

• £115 for an adult cat (more than 16 weeks old)
• £180 for a pair of adults cats (more than 16 weeks old)
• £140 for a kitten (up to 16 weeks)

This fee covers the treatments your cat needs prior to coming home with you:

• Neutering (if needed)
• As a minimum, their first vaccination. You may be responsible for the cost of their second vaccine, at your own vets
• Flea and worm treatment
• Microchipping, so they can be easily identified
• Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance

On top of that, we’ll carry on supporting you with your cat’s behaviour for the rest of their life, and any advice you need about caring for your other pets.

At Woodgreen, we rehome our cats with the intention of them having access to the outdoors on a regular basis.

Indoor-only cats are restricted from fulfilling natural behaviours, which can often build frustrations that may lead to stress and depression.

This can present itself as troublesome behaviours, causing issues for both the cat and the owner.

Occasionally an exception will be made if it’s in the cat’s best interests to be rehomed in a purely indoor environment or with restricted outdoor access. For example, in cases of compromised sight and/or hearing.

No, not all cats will need a cat flap in the house as long as the cat can gain access outside via a door or window.

If you are unable to have a cat flap fitted in your house then a good alternative could be to fit one in a garage or a shed. This can provide your cat with somewhere to shelter if you are not at home.

Yes, we would, but it very much comes down to considering the individual cat.

As naturally solitary animals, cats don’t always appreciate having to share their space with others. So it’s important to find a good match and to introduce them carefully to help a positive relationship develop.

This advice article provides some more information about introducing cats to other cats.

We do have kittens available for rehoming but demand for them is extremely high.

If you are looking for a kitten, they will be on our ‘adopt a cat’ page when they become available.

In the meantime, you may find this advice about getting a kitten useful.

Before you can come and meet one of our cats, there are a few things you need to do first.

You can see all our cats looking for new homes on our website. We update these pages regularly, so you’ll get a good idea of the type of cats we care for.

If you’re interested in adopting a cat, please:

• Read the online profiles carefully so you can decide if you can give them the home and care they need
• Fill in our registration form if you want to go ahead, to tell us you’re interested in adopting a cat

If you’re a potential match with one of our cats, you’ll be able to meet them to see if you’re the right person to give them a new home.

All our visits are by appointment only, so we’ll contact you and book you in.
