Progress on the Isolation Unit



Progress has been made on the Isolation Unit! This draughty section of the shelter will soon be a toasty warm conservatory, with mesh doors behind the opening doors, so that the cats don’t cook in the summer!

With a new roof, too, this formerly dank section of Woodland Nook will soon be smart, draught-free and much more suitable for those cats who cannot mix with the others. 

There are many reasons a cat may need to be isolated. For example: 

  • Newcomers aren’t always ready to mix straight away
  • If a female cat is not spayed and there are young unneutered males in the main shelter, we can’t risk a pregnancy
  • Some cats simply don’t get on with other cats and fights can break out
  • Sick cats need to be separated so that illness doesn’t spread

So, as you can see, an isolation unit is a really important part of Woodland Nook and it’s even more important that the accommodation is suitable. 

We just need £500 to complete the job, then the cats can move in! 

If you can donate, please use the Paypal button or you can donate direct into the Woodland Nook bank account:
