Kansas (Mali) and Sirius (Sparty) have now been with us for nearly a week. Sparty is definitely coming around and loves his fuss and attention. He is eating well, using the litter tray and becoming very vocal about being shut in the spare room!
Mali is still struggling unfortunately. She is eating and drinking and using the litter tray but still very, very nervous. I am allowing my 3 daughters to go in and see them regularly as they seem to respond better to children than adults, and Mali will enjoy a fuss on her own terms but lets you know when she has had enough.
We will eventually be looking for homes for these 2 but any new owner will have to be experienced with cats and be prepared to come and visit regularly for a few weeks at least to get to know the cats and gain their trust. We will also visit their new home to make sure we are happy with them leaving us.
They have already been through a huge upheaval and we want to make any further transition as easy for them as we possibly can.
Will update more in the next few days.
We also hope to have exciting news in the coming weeks....will post more on our blog in due course.

Woodside Kansas and Woodside Sirius
It's been a while since I updated and we still cannot access our website so looks like we will be building a new one shortly to give updates and news throughout the year.
We have sadly had to take back Woodside Kansas and Woodside Sirius, after their owner's daughter became highly allergic to them. I have taken them back here so that I can vet any potential owners and ensure that I am kept up to date with their progress.
Could be a while though....they are incredibly scared and so will need a lot of time and patience to ensure that they are happy and settled when going to their new homes. For now, they are living in our spare bedroom so that they don't need to be around the stress of our cats too.
As with all of our kittens that we have bred or adult cats that have been retired and rehomed, we always insist that new owners contact us should their circumstances change and we will have the cats back to rehome from here....they are and always will be our babies and therefore our responsibility.
Have attached some pics and will update on their progress over the next few days and weeks.

Lola
Lola left us on Friday evening to go and live with Michelle and Oliver. It was a very sad occasion for me as Lola has always been special, having come from a premature litter where only 3 kittens out of the 6 survived.
In some ways, because she is so special to us, it made it easier to let her go as we knew she was unhappy being here with new cats and kittens being introduced all the time.
We had a lovely update on Friday night and again on Saturday and Sunday, to let us know that Lola had settled in beautifully and had already claimed the place as her own! She has behaved perfectly (so far!) and spends most of her time on a specially made platform where she watches the swans and the boats going past.
Michelle and Oliver were true to their word and sent me plenty of photos of Lola and I thought I would share some of them on here. The photo of Lola asleep was taken on her very first morning on the boat so she had been there about 12 hours.....just goes to show how happy and relaxed she is!

General Update
First of all, I need to apologise for not updating the website. We have a new computer and unfortunately haven't got around to moving over all the files and the software for the website.
We are very pleased to have found the perfect home for Lola. As hard as it is to let her go, we think we have found the perfect new slaves for her and she will be leaving us tomorrow.
Lucky Lola is going to be a 'ship's cat'! She will be living on a houseboat on the Norfolk Broads and I have already told her new owners that I will be waiting expectantly for a photo of Lola taking in the views from the boat windows - will update more once she is settled.
We may possibly have one more spayed girl up for rehoming in the next few weeks but will update more at the time. It still amazes me how our girls here get on so well together when they are entire and yet some seem to change when they are spayed and just won't settle with the entire girls. I am very lucky that all of the owners or our retirees keep in touch and we get regular updates on how they are doing.
Paddy (Whitefox Blazing Star) is thoroughly enjoying his retirement and has just come back from a surfing holiday in Cornwall with his new owner! Apparently he loved the surf but wasn't quite so keen on the sand!
We also had a lovely update and photos from Anna and Scott, the owners of Woodside Porthos. He has grown into such a beautiful boy and has his mum's superb feral, wild look about him.
I will add another update shortly with photos of Ruby (Villarroel Flamenco), Pixie (Woodside Emiliana) and Sunny (Woodside Pacifica).

Youngster Looking For A New Home
It is with much sadness that we have decided to rehome Woodside Maclaren aka Lola. She is our gorgeous red classic tabby neutered girl who is super affectionate and friendly. Unfortunately, over the last few months she has been able to cope with living in a multicat household and is constantly sitting in a corner growling and hissing at the other cats.
She has never been bred from and was always kept back just as a neutered pet and not for breeding.
We feel it is unfair to keep trying to settle her down and even having the whole house filled with feliway has made no difference at all!
If you feel you can offer Lola a forever indoor home without any other cats or any possibility of there being any other cats then please contact us on woodsidecats@mac.com
