Polly

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.

Rescued in Newcastle on 30/12/2025

Trapped and taken into protective care by Westgate Ark Cat Refuge following reports by local residents over this and other cats appearing to be living as part of a colony amongst the rubbish in back streets.

This cat was found to be unchipped and unneutered, though seems confident and quite friendly with people.

Is this your cat?

He will be held for 14 days and then if not claimed, we will try to find him a good home.

This queen was found to be unchipped and unspayed, she is quite terrified of people..

Is this your cat?

She will be held for 14 days and then if not claimed, we will try to find her a good home if she can be domesticated, or found a farm or stables if lucky, if feral.

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!
