Homes Wanted

Last Updated 11/11/2025

Oscar

Oscar was one of five youngsters rescued from living in a garden that they were born in.

He is quite shy still, but we expect this to improve a lot now that his fellow garden rescues have been homed.

We have now had him neutered and microchipped.

Missy & Mo -two older sisters

We have two 8 to 10 year old black cats that are sisters, one being a lot more confident and sociable than the other who is quite shy.

For obvious reasons, we would like to keep these two sisters together.

Heidi & Harriet

Two young queens that were rescued from a feral colony living in a garden, sadly they they were not saved when much younger and easy to domesticate. Although late in the day for turning, both queens, now spayed, are doing quite well, thanks to the Ark volunteers and cat cuddlers, and are making good progress in accepting being handled and getting used to people.

In the short-term we need cat cuddlers to help bring them on, and then the sisters need a couple of cat loving owners who are caring, patient and can provide a safe indoor home for them, preferably, someone at home a lot!

We advise splitting them up might be good, so as to encourage them to better bond with people, though a home for both together would also be considered if suitable!

This young feral queen lived in a garden with other ferals and had not been handled prior to being rescued and admitted to the Ark. She is now showing some progress and we believe that with the right caring and patient owner could become a companian cat, especially to someone at home a lot. She would need to be kept as an indoor cat.

Like her sister above, this young feral queen lived in a garden with other ferals and had not been handled prior to being rescued and admitted to the Ark. She is now showing some progress and we believe that with the right caring and patient owner could become a companian cat, especially to someone at home a lot. She would need to be kept as an indoor cat.

Daisy

Westgate Ark are seeking a special kind hearted person to give a safe home to this very shy cat. The young black and white queen that we named Daisy, was rescued when heavily pregnant. She has been a great mother to her litter, but has been too lacking in confidence to trust letting people touch her. She has never showed aggression towards our volunteers, instead backing off when her food is put out and her tray cleaned. When two orphaned kittens were admitted to the Ark, Daisy was straight on them, cleaning them and feeding them her milk. Soon, Daisy's kittens will be ready for homing and we need to find somewhere for her. We believe that once spayed and given time to settle in a relaxed and safe environment, that Daisy may overcome her shyness with people. There have been positive signs recently. Westgate Ark will be getting her spayed before she leaves the Ark.

Anyone interested in adopting her on please contact admin@westgateark.org.uk

Please note that as a rule it is no longer Westgate Ark policy to home adult cats into homes that already have encumbent cats living there. This is due the the high failure and return rate where the cats do not get on and the homing is unsuccessful due to tensions and hostilities between the cats.

Though some integration of adult cats is successful, all too often the homings are less than perfect and there is a lack of harmony all round.

It is not our policy to home cats into settings where there is a real chance of tension and we do not ever wish to ruin the quality of lives of cats already living happily in a home where their lives are spoilt by the arrival of our cats.

Also, we never wish to see the home-lives of people impaired by too many cats, who are hostile towards each other.

The Westgate Ark maxim is that if you have a happy cat or cats in your home then why risk upsetting the apple cart?

If it ain't broken, then don't fix it!
