We have a waiting list for those interested in adopting kittens. This waiting list is currently at capacity, so we are not accepting any new applications or expressions of interest for kittens. Thank you for your understanding.

This is Lexi and she's a whole lot of cat. Lexi is currently morbidly obese and seems to be failing to respond to her diet out of sheer power of will. She is looking for a home with someone willing to put the time and effort into getting her back to a healthy weight. Diet, exercise, play - she is in it for the long haul if you are! She is friendly and social, and appears to do well with kids if they treat her kindly. Could you be the one to help Lexi turn her life around?

Lila is the opposite of a 'norty Tortie' - she's a reserved and gentle lady. She came to us with a sister, but we were told she isn't too keen on having a sibling (we've definitely observed this too) - so she may be best suited as the only cat in the house, or at least with a new sibling as calm and nonchalant as she is.

UNAVAILABLE FOR HOMING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Angela came to us pregnant and has given birth, and is currently raising her babies at the Ark until they are ready to go to their homes. She is sweet, social and loving. She is also only just under 2 years old.

UNAVAILABLE FOR HOMING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Bella has come to us heavily pregnant and will be with us for the forseeable to have her kittens. She is a lovely girl who has taken the hearts of everyone she meets! If you would like to support her, please do make a donation to go toward her and her babies. 

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
