Over the past week we have slowly started to resume adoptions for Cats.🐱 We are delighted that so many of you have been in contact and expressed an interest in a cat in our care.
Unfortunately, our beautiful Heidi is feeling very left out.😥 Heidi came to Woodside with an RSPCA inspector so we don't know much about her history. Heidi is such a gorgeous girl with a very loving personality, despite this we have received very little interest from potential adopters.😔 To help you get to know a little more about Heidi, we have listed all of the amazing things about her:

She loves being groomed and will paw at you for more fuss if you stop😘

She prefers to be indoors but will venture outside when she feels like it🌳

She only has one eye, some may say it has the power to make anyone she sees fall in love with her🧐

She is very friendly and loves to say hello to everyone she meets👋

She has a very calm nature so would prefer a quiet home with no small humans around😴

As you can see, Heidi loves a cuddle🤗

Please remember Heidi if you're thinking about welcoming a cat into your family.🐱💙 Head over to our website by clicking the link in our bio to express an interest in our beautiful girl🔗

We all know that fireworks are BANG OUT OF ORDER but we are still becoming increasingly concerned about the welfare of animals during the Thursday evening clap for key workers.👏 Last week we received a call from a very worried elderly lady who's dog had sought safety from the loud bangs by hiding under a piece of heavy furniture. With her dog trapped and in serious danger, this lady was on the verge of having to call the fire brigade! Luckily, she was able to free her beloved dog before such drastic measures were needed.🐶 We have also received reports of many others who have found themselves in a dangerous position such as this.😥 We as much as anyone, want to support our key workers during this unprecedented time. However, we must ALWAYS put the safety of animals and our loved ones first.

So we ask you, PLEASE do not let off fireworks during your celebrations!

If you too are struggling on Thursday evenings, copy & paste the link below for advice on keeping animals safe during fireworks... https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/general/fireworks

We are becoming increasingly concerned about the effects lockdown is having on our beloved furry friends.❤
With so much going on it's easy to forget the long term effects that staying home all day will have on your dog.🐶 To avoid your dog developing separation anxiety once we all return to our usual daily routines, copy & paste the following link into your web browser... https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/training/leftalone

It's really important that we remember our pets during this time.🐶🐱 #dogkind #bedogkind #seperationanxiety #doganxiety #animalwelfare #uklockdown
