Thank to some of our wonderful fb supporters the cats at the Ark now have 'hot spots' in each room from donated hot water bottles which we keep topped up every morning and evening. This will help them get through the cold winter months!

This is one of three kittens born to an unspayed full feral mother who has been living in someones backgarden, along with other backgardens, for over a year.

These kittens are about ten weeks of age and this kitten is the first of the two surviving kittens to be caught. 

It is a shame that we only learnt about them today as the formative period for domesticating kittens is between four and seven weeks so really now the process of taming them to be fully suitable for homing is an uphill task!

The Westgate Ark rescuer is now off to rescue the second of the two surviving kittens! When brought back to the Ark the kitten will for now be put with the first kitten rescued, this will allay some of their stress at being caught and brought into the human world!

Great thanks to the wonderful vets, nurses and staff at the Backworth branch of Moorview Vets for their care and attention the these two feral youngsters!

These younsters are now on medication and are slowly on the mend!
