Homes Wanted

Daisy

Daisy's kittens are reserved - apart from one mostly tabby who is recieving treatment currently - and daisy herself is yet to be reserved. The kittens are currently undergoing treatment for their eyes, and are still very young, so although they are growing older - reservations are only made with support from a lead volunteer. Daisy herself is very nervous, she is slowly learning to trust and falling into a routine which ensures her safety, so we are still working to see if she is able to trust us yet.

Westgate Ark are seeking a special kind hearted person to give a safe home to a 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

Alya

Alya was a surrender, although she originally came in very scared and skittish - she has recently grown to see the joy in humans and cuddles. She is a super affectionate girl who loves to sit for hours on your knee and cuddle up to you. She is currently not spayed, but will be upon her collection. She has grown to be so loving in what could be such a scary situation for her, and now she is looking for a new home to share that love with.

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!
