Homes Wanted

Last Updated - 16/03/2026

Angela

Angela is a pregnant queen, about 15 months old. She isn't ready for homing yet due to her pregnancy, but she is very sweet. She came in with her son, Tiger.

Tiger

Tiger is a 6 month old tomcat. He is not yet chipped or neutered, and was brought in alongside his mother.

Pippin

Pippin is an unneutered tomcat. He is shy, but can be petted if you are gentle and patient. Pippin was rescued from someone's garden where he had been living, alongside a queen and her kittens.

Kevin

Kevin was rescued from Gateshead, where he had been living on the street and being fed by a concerned local resident. He is quiet but very friendly, loving, and great with other cats. He has been neutered and we've had him fitted with a microchip.

High maintenance cats

At Westgate Ark, we sometimes get cats admitted for rehoming that are particularly vulnerable or have special needs. These cats can be very affectionate, inteligent and interactive, but need special carers who are dedicated to their care and well-being.

Special needs cats need genuine life-long cat lovers with warm, safe homes and plenty of time on their hands to devote to seeing to their care and high demands for attention and companionship.

These loving cats really do need carers who are absolutely devoted to them, and will only be suitable for really dedicated cat lovers with a passion for nurturing and loving pets.

If this is you, then please contact Westgate Ark at 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!
