The Animal Sanctuary, Wilmslow (UK) is run by the Humane Education Society, a charitable organisation working for a more compassionate society through education and practical work with children and animals. The Animal Sanctuary provides a temporary home for cats, rabbits, ferrets and other small animals and birds which have been brought to us for a variety of reasons. All desperately need good homes which will allow them to regain confidence and recover from whatever trauma has brought them to us.

Porthos on the Move 🐾

Step into Porthos's enclosure and it won't be long before he makes his way over to his favourite windowsill perch to say hello. 🥰

Whether he's curled up in his bed, grooming himself or playing with a toy, he's always ready to spend time with visitors.

At just one year old, Porthos seems to think every visitor is a potential friend. 😸

🏡 Now all he needs is a family of his own.

💕 If you'd like to meet Porthos and offer him a loving forever home, please complete our Adoption Enquiry Form at https://www.heswilmslow.co.uk/porthos or phone our team on 01625 520 802. 💕

And then there was one.........
After the flurry of recent adoptions last month including two litters of kittens, we just have little Duffy who is without a family to go to. She was born on 15th August and was 3 days old when she arrived with us. If you feel you could offer Duffy the perfect home please complete the form and our rehoming team will be in touch.

🖤 Avie-Lee and the Cone of Shame: Part Three - A Double Win! 👑

Good news! Avie-Lee is now RESERVED. 🎉💕

And, as if that wasn't enough reason to celebrate, The Cone is gone too. 😹

Judging by that smile, Avie-Lee is feeling pretty pleased with herself. After all, it's lovely to see her pretty face again, and she has a family waiting for her too. 💕

🎉 25 Cats and Kittens Rehomed in October! 🎉

October was a pretty special month here at the Sanctuary.

Over the past month, 25 cats and kittens left us to begin exciting new chapters with their forever families. 🏡❤️

The photos below show just a few of the lucky cats and kittens who found homes during October. Every one of those 25 adoptions means so much more than a number. It means a cat finding a warm bed, a family finding a new companion and a brighter future for an animal that needed a second chance.

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteer rehoming team, who give their time, care and dedication to helping match our cats and kittens with the right homes. These happy endings wouldn't happen without them. 💕

We'd also like to thank everyone who adopted from us during October. Because of you, 25 cats and kittens are now settling into homes of their own.

And thank you to everyone who follows our posts, shares our appeals and supports the Sanctuary. Every bit of support helps us find more happy endings.

Here's to the 25 cats and kittens who found their forever homes in October, and to many more happy endings in the months ahead. 🐾❤️
