Current Cats for Homing

Westgate Ark currently has some rescued kittens that will be ready for homing sometime in January. All kittens are home with strict neutering conditions attached, along with a requirement to vaccinate.

All our kittens are rescued (not bred by us), and are homed at our sole discretion.

Hope is a spayed queen of approximately one year of age. She is a special needs cat as she has a disability possibly of a neurological nature that prevents her from climbing or running without tumbling over. That said she is quite a happy little cat who loves to be petted and fussed a bit between sleeps. 

If you are seriously interested in her then please do come and meet her. 

Please do not apply if you have other pets, especially a cat, as she does not like other pets around her though she does adore children who play with her gently.

Just admitted via North Tyneside Social Services, Katie has come from a multicat household. 

She has been spayed within the past few days and has been microchipped. We understand that she is two years old and used to living with children.

They have come from the same background as Katie above, and both brother and sister are neutered and microchipped.

This young tom in the creche is one of four needing a good home.

Raven is due to be neutered this Friday and is now reserved to go to his new home at the coming weekend.

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!

If you are interested in offering a home to a rescue kitten then please contact us. WE DO NOT BREED KITTENS but from time to time do rescue kittens and find them good homes!

All feral queens are spayed by the Ark before being either returned to the original site or placed somewhere better.Before being homed the kittens are all treated against parasites and will have developed to a safe age and weight.

All kittens homed by the Ark will be done so with strict neutering, vaccination and microchipping agreements in place, and veterinary insurance provision is also strongly recommended.

Westgate Ark is operating again but at reduced capacity and is no longer open to visitors without an appointment. 

Contact to Westgate Ark should be by email to admin@westgateark.org.uk

Please be aware that only a limited amount of cats can be admitted and helped by us!

Homing applications should be made via email by the person seeking to adopt and keep the cat. Please email admin@westgateark.org.uk

All cats homed by Westgate Ark are homed at our sole discretion. 

Cats may only be viewed through an arranged appointment!

Cat litter, virkon, newpaper, kitchen roll/blue roll, flea treatment, wormers.

Anyone kindly donating any of the above items should please email us first to arrange a time to drop them off as the Ark is no longer manned around the clock.

We are always looking for home offers for feral cats. Feral cats aren't just strays, but cats that have had little or no human contact. We generally trap them from around the city and have them neutered and ear tipped. This isn't cruel, it just indicates that the cat has already been trapped and neutered.

Rather than putting them back on the streets we find these cats suitable homes, usually on farms/ stables/ smallholdings, where they can happily live outside, but have someone give a daily supply of fresh food & water and somewhere sheltered to sleep.

If you can offer a place for a feral cat please contact us!
