Woods came into our care 4 weeks ago after he was found the night before, all alone near NUIG, and he had sustained several bite wounds over his body. He was in incredibly poor condition overall and he was suffering from malnutrition and parasites. He also wasn't the most open to being handled but, to be honest, given what he had gone through we were not surprised. His recovery has been a very rocky one and his mental scars are, unfortunately, taking longer than the physical ones.

But day by day we see a difference. A boy who loves to be loved (just don't grab him). A boy who wants to be near you, but is not quite ready to sit on your lap. He is a sweet, playful and loving boy, none the less.

Woods is looking for a patient and understanding home that will allow him time to settle before asking for him to fully trust. A dog free home with, possibly, an older quieter cat to help build his confidence. Woods is the kind of cat that won't trust everyone but will give everything to those that earn it!
