Hi my names Frosty. I was found when I was around 6 weeks old all alone and scared. I'm not sure where my mummy was and a storm came so I dashed to seek refuge in a farm feed warehouse where I was found and a day later trapped by Zoe's Ark. When I was seen at the vets I was of good weight but found to be covered in ticks
When I came into the rescue it wasn't long before I showed my full potential. For all I had been through in my first 6 weeks of life I really was a happy lil kitty who never stops purring and my confidence really is sky high. I love being loved and giving love. Two of my favourite things to do is to roll around in a clean litter tray like a chinchilla in a sand bath and caused mayhem. I became a therapy cat for a local care home and I really did enjoy it. I was great in the rescue also when it came to kittens and helping look after them, Mummy Zoe says Ive been a wonderful asset however I've now spent the first whole year of my life doing this and its only fair I now move on and am able to settle in a home to call my own.
Due to be being a very social cat a home with another cat is a must, I enjoy cat and human company very much and love everyone I meet but I can be a cheeky boy. Since I have been rescued I have also never been back outside and I would prefer to keep it that way and stay in the safety of a home so I don't get lost again. Kids of any age would be fine with me, truth be told there really isn't much that would bother me. I haven't been dog tested however cat savvy dogs I would probably settle down with.

Ocean
Hello all, my names Ocean. I was signed over to Zoe's Ark through absolutely no fault of my own, my owner became ill and felt she could no longer look after me anymore.
When I first came to the rescue I shown very quickly how much of a loving, kind, caring boy I was, sleeping under the duvet with you is one of my favourite things to do along with being picked up and cuddled. I love cuddles, kisses, attention and before being neutered I also liked to try and hump your arm or head. I'm a very funny, cheeky chappy who is loveable, friendly and super adorable. I will make a wonderful companion, you'll never be alone, not with me around anyway.
I have never had outdoor experience before, so an indoor only home would be much better for me & safer. A home with other fellow cats would be a bonus as I am very social and get on with all my friends here at the rescue however I would be happy by myself as long as I have someone around most the day as I really do enjoy company and this would be important to my happiness.
If I sound like the purrrfect boy for you then please don't hesitate to click on the 'adoption' option below in quick links for your chance to adopt me now.
Savvi & Merlo
Hello, my names Savvi and this is my daughter Merlo. There was 4 of us all together however I am very thankful to say a very kind, caring, patient man took the chance and adopted my other two daughters and rescued them. It now means there is only us two left out of the family.
We were all found running and scarpering near a busy main road where a member of public seen us and worried for our safety. She reported this to Zoe's Ark and within 24 hours we were all trapped and brought in. I very quickly showed signs of having never known love or a home not by aggression but fear. My daughters however were a little more feisty but mummy Zoe worked with what she had and has brough us on very well.
We aren't perfect, I'm still very nervous & shy but I come out so much more now and though I'm apprehensive of touch I enjoy it much more now, once I realise you aren't going to hurt me. My daughter Merlo comes out absolutely fine for food, doesn't mind being stroked when eating and has shown very positive steps forward however she too is still nervous and doesn't enjoy being cornered, she will run.
Finding a home sooner rather then later is very important for cats like us, there are many many cats in rescue which takes away from as much 1 on 1 time with us. There is also things always going on, changes and this can unsettle us time & time again. Though the rescue does its best for us, its nothing in comparison of what a home to call our own can do for us in bringing us forward. A home with other cats would be fine for us but dogs are a no no. Young children would also not be a good idea as we are far to nervous for chaos and loud noises however older sensible children (15+) would be fine. People need to understand we will need time however we promise it will feel very rewarding when we progress and come around. Constant busy households also wouldnt be best for us as we would prefer a calm and quieter enviroment.
Our nervous/shy personalities play a part in the fact we are overlooked but what also doesn't help us is our colour meaning we have 2 things against us. We just hope one day both these things can be overlooked and just like my other two daughters, we can have a place to call our own and be loved for us. We eat well, we are fully litter trained... We cause absolutely no problems at all. Please just give us a chance. Thankyou for your time.
If you feel you could give us our happy ever after please feel free to fill out a form on the 'Adoption' option below. Thankyou again.
Edward & Esme
Edward & Esme came with their brother Emmett on the 15th January 2024 after being part an accidental litter. It was quite obvious from the start that these two were the closest and needed to stay together. We actually had their father Bingo in too. Edward and Esme blossomed from weary kitties into the most wonderful kitties here. Their confidence grew and they're characters really started to show, super cheeky but super adorable.
Eventually one of our very own volunteers fell in love with them and could resist but to apply and take them home. It was a great happy ending for them. Seeing their photos and getting their updates are lovely and we couldn't be more happier for them both.
Here is their 1 month update:-
Edward and Esme (now Finn and Pacifica) have been with us for a month now. They settled in straight away, I think because they had each other. They are full of mischief, always after the food you have on your plate & they get into everything but it's lovely having them with us. Finn has the loudest purr & loves to jump. Pacifica is less graceful but very sweet and loves nothing more than a chin rub.
- Hanna Davidson
Edward & Esmes 3 month update:-
Finn and Paz are still loving their new home and have been getting up to plenty of mischief too. Finn loves to snuggle up under a blanket while Paz likes to play with her little pom poms (she carries them around in her mouth like a dog). When it comes to dinner time they act like they’ve never been fed before, Finn likes to try and eat the meat before it’s even come out of the packet yet. 🤣 They are both so lovely to have around and have made us all a lot happier (and stressed 🤣).
9 months later:-
Paz and Finn (double trouble) have grown into fun, loveable cats. They still play together like kittens and are often chasing each other around the house. They are both super affectionate, love to be around people and are obsessed with cardboard boxes. Finn likes nothing more than hopping into a plastic carrier bag (whether it's got shopping in it or not) and being carried and swung around.....he's a strange lad 😂
Emmett
Our lovely Emmett came into our rescue along with his siblings after being part of an accidental litter on the 15th January 2024. Emmett was the most confident of them all leading us to believe that he would be just as confident & happy within another house hold so long as they had other cats. His siblings were a lot more closer.
Emmett very quickly showed us his wonderful cheeky personality from a very young age and we knew he'd be snapped up. In fact we had someone who had applied wanting a tabby just like him prior to his arrival, as soon as we got him in we let this lovely lady know.
Straight away she was happy with him and loved him so very much, all being happy with everything and knowing Emmett would have fellow feline friends there, we made our way all the way down to Wiltshire to drop him off to this wonderful new family and we are so grateful that he has settled in so well.
Lovely Emmett's 1 month update:-
Perseus (Percy) has settled into our family so well, we were all prepped for him to stay in our old dog crate like our other two kitties, but no he made it so we no longer needed it. So within a week of having him he pretty much settled in. He loves our other male cat Rupert, both of them are like two peas in a pod, and Rupert gives him a clean once and awhile. Moonbeam our female cat, was a bit wary of him to start with but she also now loves him to bits and both her and Percy cause so much havoc in our house 🤪. Percy and Starlight our dog do also get on well, despite Starlight being scared of Percy. Because he has such sharp claws. All Starlight wants to do is play. (But is 10x the size of little Percy) Percy loves to cuddle up with all our family at night in bed, he does also love to go for your feet too (kitten claws) but overall he is such a cuddle bug, loves his food more than anything and is an absolute gem to this family.
- Abi Simmons
Our wonderful 3 month update on Emmett:-
Perseus, has now been with us for just over 3 months and again he has really settled in. He's met lots of new people that we've had visiting and staying around, and absolutely loves them. He has been cuddling up more by our heads when sleeping, which is extremely cute. He still eats like he has a train to catch and definitely doesn't like to share. But overall he's turning into a really lovely cat. Our other two cats will be glad when he turns one. 😂 Another thing, he loves to follow you around too which is always very fun to watch, and has a comfort toy, well anything with a feather attached. He will grab it in his mouth and drag it everywhere. Overall I can't wait to see what he will become as he gets older, currently he's only 7 months old.
6 months update on Emmett:-
He's settled in well, thinks he owns the place. Loves attention and won't let anyone else get attention 😅😂. He loves his food and zooming around with Moonbeam. He's growing into a fine young kitty cat.
Buddy
Buddy came to Zoes Ark through absolutely no fault of his own, he was signed over after his original owners dog apparently became allergic to him. From the get go Buddy was one of the most confident, loving cats we have had in our walls. His personality was contagious and he very quickly showed just how wonderful he was.
It wasn't long after we placed Buddy up for adoption that he was snapped up by a lovely girl who we knew would give him the world and boy were we right, they were made for each other and its great to see. Though we miss his big personality very much, we are just so happy he's found his happy ever after.
Buddy's wonderful 1 month update:-
Buddy has settled in wonderfully, he’s adjusted amazingly, our other 2 cats weren’t sure about him at first but, over the past two weeks he’s being growing an amazing bond with them both. We’ve just started letting him adventure outside, and Mischief has taken him under her wing when they are out together.
He’s a proper little character, loves his treats and he’s even learned how to climb in to the cat food barrel, caught him in there eating the biscuits.
He loves a cuddle especially with my partner, he loves being in your space all the time which is proper cute.
I am so chuffed that we have Buddy, I absolutely love the bones off of him.
I’m so glad that you let us be his forever home.
- Deon Cochrane
3 month update:-
Omg Buddy is quite literally the double of our Digby.
He has finally bonded really well with Mischief every now and then, I walk in and see him cleaning her. He loves to hunt when he goes out, numerous times he’s brought something back. The other day he brought back a rabbit and scared the living daylights out of me.
He’s such a character, he even comes on a walk down the fell with us (that’s what our digby used to do).
He’s a little snuggle bum, every morning without fail I wake up and he is curled up right into me and boy does he love his food.
He loves watch our fish in the fish tank we have.
I’m so happy he’s a part of my little family 💜🐾
Luna & Lola
Lola & Luna successfully went to their furrever home on the 24th February 2024.
Lola & Luna were the sweetest of sisters with the biggest of hearts and we miss them very much here at the rescue. They were both super loving and it hasn't surprised me they have been snapped up.
Lola & Luna were signed over to me after concerns were raised about their living situation of being kept in a kitchen cupboard. The owner allowed them to be taken from her care after not wanting them due to just having a new baby.
They have since settled in very very well in their new home where they are loved and cared for and also very happy. How could I ask for more?
Paws up for our baby girls.
Here is Lola and Lunas 1 month update :-
Lola and Luna are settled and enjoy chasing each other around the house.
Lola is still quite a bit smaller and is a bit of a picky eater but has plenty of energy and loves exploring.
They are being gradually introduced to a safe outdoor space and love sitting in the sun but are a bit scared by the wind.
- Elizabeth Clowes
Lola & Lunas 3 month update:-
Lola and Luna are doing well, although Lola has a sensitive stomach (but is fine now she's on hypoallergenic food).
They both love sitting in sunny spots, playing with string and feathers, and being outside ( though that's still limited).
Our lovely duos 6 month update:-
Lola and Luna have really made themselves at home in the 6 months they have been here, and do make us laugh (when they're not getting under our feet).
They love to be outside but are also happy to laze around inside. They like to sleep on separate beds but still play together a lot. And both actually enjoy having their tummies stroked!
Delilah & Reign
The lovely Delilah & Reign came here to us at Zoes Ark from Manchester after being rescued by a lovely lady there. Reign was always such a shy boy, very nervous and reserved. As for Delilah, she was full of confidence and loved attention. We always knew that they would both need each other after surviving all they had together in their short time on earth and we were so pleased to find that happy ever after for them.
Delilah & Reign were spotted by a lovely couple living all the way down in Margate and we set away one afternoon to take them down. They now live a life of luxury, living out their days spoilt rotten and happy. We couldn't ask for more for them.
Lovely Delilah & Reigns 1 month update:-
It’s been a month since Wanda (aka Delilah) and Bucky (aka Reign) made their journey down from ‘up North’ to the seaside Kent - and what a month it has been! After a few days in their own room and getting introduced to the other cats, they made this their home. They create havoc as they zoom from one end of the house to the other, spreading toys everywhere (Wanda is keen on ‘her’ flappy fish and Bucky is mad about cable ties and ear plugs). I am so happy both Wanda and Bucky felt comfortable enough to always be around us. Bucky especially as I was expecting a lot of hiding! Wanda is the Queen – always in your feet, wanting attention, cuddles and brushing (unless she’s sleeping). Bucky loves being with us – he will settle next to a human and loves the company but… it was only two days ago that he finally allowed me to pet him. Now he loves it (not quite keen on the brushing yet). They are starting to be willing to understand the word 'no' but only when they feel like it. The kittens are keen on the other cats these are tolerating them without a problem with Gambit even having a little play with them. Both kittens seem to be longing for the ‘great outdoors’, especially when they see the other cats outside. Not quite ready yet… All in all, it’s been a blessing and a joy to have these two added to our family. Thank you so much, Zoe!
- Rita Docker
The 3 month update:-
I can't believe it's been three months - seems like yesterday you brought us a a timid Wanda (aka Delilah) and a very wary Bucky (Reign). They now own the place and certainly make their presence known! both love their cuddles and being brushed. They seem to have taken the habits (good and bad!) from each of the other cats and are also squatting in Gambit's and Misty's favourite boxes and spots. They run riot in the house, tearing through from one end to the other, preferably at the crack of dawn. They have started going out (was waiting for Bucky to have better 'recall') and are enjoying the great outdoors. Still not allowed full use of the cat flap like the three others, only when we are home and can sort of keep an eye on them. Both the kittens are taken by Gambit (my youngest of the adults) and follow him around like pilot fish with a shark. He also keeps an eye on them when they are outside and brings them back to the roost. All in all, a blessing to have those two loveable rogues! Can't thank you enough for taking them in, looking after them and making the journey to bring them to the seaside!
Also - just realised they will very soon be one year old!
Their wonderful 6 months update:-
Six months down the line and the once timid Wanda (aka Delilah) and wary Bucky (aka Reign) rule the roost – Wanda so sassy and bold and Bucky is more 'still waters run deep' (don’t let that demureness fool you). Loving and always seeking cuddles and brushing. They are growing though staying titchy – maybe seems that way because my other cats are so big. They love the great outdoors and have great fun in the garden – also starting to make a name for themselves in the neighbourhood (in a good way). Wonderful to have them out and about but coming right back home when called. Such gentle any happy little ones but also psycho killers – who would think that when seeing those sweet little faces. We regularly get ‘presents’ left for us and I know it’s them as they have a special M.O.
It's been a treat and a blessing having them join our family and am ever so grateful to Zoe for bringing them to us.
Jake & Bella
Our gorgeous duo Jake & Bella came into our care along with their brother Milo back in January 2024. They were our first arrivals of the year and they came in through absolutely no fault of their own.
This trio was signed over due to a very unfortunate change in circumstances where if they stayed they probably would have ended up unhappy. Their original owner understood this and decided to do what she felt was most fair on them.
Jake, Bella & Milo were a pleasure to look after, they very quickly showed their weird, wonderful and quirky ways, Jake in-particular. Milo was rehomed to another home who had another friend waiting for him.
Jake had confidence that genuinely was unmatched and very so very hyperactive, you would find him one half the time climbing doors and hanging of them and the other half of the time winding the rest of the residents up, being around him was never a dull moment. Bella on the other hand was the complete opposite, she was a lot quieter, very soft and gentle and had the most cute dancing tail when it came to meal times to show how excited she was. In general they were both super loving characters & very affectionate.
It took a while in finding Jake & Bella's forever home, primarily due to the fact they were black however we never gave up and when a lovely lady we knew personally had lost her cat a while prior messaged us enquiring about a new companion or 2 we knew they would be the puuuurfect duo for her and we were NOT wrong. We miss them ever so much but of course we couldn't be happier for them.
The lovely duos 1 month update:-
Just want to update everyone on how Jake and Bella have settled in 😍 it’s been 4 weeks now and fair to say my home is now filled with the chaos that only kittens can bring 😂 and I love it.
Jake was immediately at home, strutting around like he had lived with me all his life, jumping on me, pinching my toast, taking over the sofa and my bed 😂
Bella went about things more cautiously and watched her brother being cheeky from a safe distance but now very happy to fight for a place on my knee 💓and thankfully not interested in my toast 😆
I cannot thank Zoe enough for bringing these beauties into my life 🐈⬛🐈⬛
- Jackie Jackson
Pixie
Pixie successfully went to her new home on the 27th January 2024. Pixie has seemed to have immediately settled into her new home, she has become very close to the ladies daughter and is quite fond of laying with her and getting her cuddles. Its wonderful to see it and also to hear about it.
Pixie came to us as a stray cat found in a village nearby. She was microchipped and every attempt possible was made to contact the owners on the chip information provided however days turned into weeks which turned into months and no owner ever came forward, that's when we then had the go ahead to proceed forward in being able to rehome her.
Pixie has gone as an only cat where she will spend her years and days getting the soul attention and all the love she deserves by wonderful people. Paws up for Pixie baby. We are absolutely made up for her.
Here is what Pixies new owners have to say about having her after a whole month:-
Princess Pixie arrived to her forever home 4 weeks ago, she has been a pleasure to have around. She was a little wary at first but very friendly and by the evening she had made herself at home. Pixie’s character is really coming out now, she loves to run around with her toys..climb her cat tree .. her favourite place is watching the world go by on her window seat. On a night she sleeps at the bottom of my daughters bed on her fluffy blankets. She is a joy to have 🥰 we are so grateful to Zoe’s Ark for allowing us to adopt Pixie & thankful for all of the amazing effort & hard work that goes into rescuing/rehoming Cats & Kittens🐈⬛🥰❤️
- Janice Stoddart.
Here is lovely Pixies 3 month update:-
Princess Pixie is making herself so at home now, she is very comfortable with us. She is a perfect pet to have around and a great companion for my daughter, she definitely likes all of the attention and loves being the only cat in the house 💜 Thank you for all that you do , we are so grateful 💜💜
Pixies 6 month update:-
Princess Pixie is now completely settled in her home and is loving life with her new family. She loves to sit in the sunshine on her window seat watching the world go by and shes there when I arrive home from work to greet me . She loves playing in empty cardboard boxes and has a favourite butterfly toy which she likes to catch. Pixie fits in perfectly with our family life and we are so lucky to adopt her and give her the love & life that she deserves. Thank you so much for all that you do, you and your team are amazing ! 😻🐈⬛🐱💜
