Like Yola said is correct. My local one is the one that also follows that rules, which was originally dicated by head office.
Take this example: 10 month old kitten(s) which have been in since they were tiny in our isolation unit with ringworm. A year ago we would have rehomed them as indoor only cats (and in many cases would have gone much quicker), this year we had to rehome our last two pairs as outdoors only but going in a rural area.
The only ones that they are going to rehome ones as indoors only are (in no particular order): blind cats, deaf cats, ones are over 3 which have been indoors only their whole life or FIV cats. We have some elderly cats (think 14+) which in the past they may have been rehomed as indoors only (as they tend not to be bothered about going outside) but again they are not allowed to be indoors only any more.
But like Yola said, try explaining the case, but some managers can be rude and so belligerent that it may not get you anywhere.
