Polly a black and white queen, is a semi-feral cat that had been living for the last year in the grounds of a polymer manufacturing site. She is currently very nervous of people, but we are working to try and get her used to people.
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!
