Hello all my names Herbie. I was captured when I was around 5/6 weeks old by a kind lady from a rescue who was dealing with trapping a feral colony near by. When I appeared in the trap the ladies felt it wasn't fair on me at my age to be out their and felt finding me a rescue space and bringing me in would give me the best chance of rehabilitation and finding me a new home.
That's where Zoe's Ark stepped in. They took me in and I was a very hissy scared baby, they worked for a couple of weeks on getting me use to touch and that went well. I am now older and still slightly nervous however they've done as much as they can bringing me forward, I just need the right home to carry on my progression. When I say I am slightly nervous I mean that when approached I will run away however once you have a hold of me I'm actually ok with it once I know I am safe. I will happily come out and over to food bowels and in the open when you're in the room, I just need a little more work on being approached which is best learnt in a true home environment with some patience, time & persistence.
Because of my shy tendencies and weary nature I don't feel a home with young loud children would be best for me. I'm not sure how I would feel about dogs either. I definitely would need and want an existing cat within the house hold though as I'm very social with my own kind and that would help me out tremendously. I am very close with Morgan in the rescue so if you really wanted to help 2 of us I feel like we'd be the bonded pair however like I say as long as their is a friend for me I'll be ok.
I know its hard to sometimes give a nervous kitty like me a chance but I promise it can be so very rewarding and beautiful results. If you want to be that person for me (and maybe Morgan too) then please click on the 'adoption' option at the bottom of this page on quick links to fill out a form for me (or us) now. Thankyou kindly x

Morgan
Hello everyone, my name is Morgan. I was born in a house with my siblings however our mum removed us from the house only a couple days after we were born and brough us up elsewhere. You see our mum was a feral cat and the lady was in the middle of trying to gain her trust but mum mustn't have trusted her to much and proceeded to move us away. When we grew older and mum felt she clearly needed help feeding us we all returned to the nice ladies house where she fed & kept an eye on us.
She then contacted Zoe's Ark when we were old enough to leave mum to get us into a more secure & safe space back in July 2024.
When I came in I was just like my siblings, very shy & nervous however with people I know my confidence has well & truly grown. I am still pretty scared of people I don't know but I know with some patience, time & persistence I will soon be a happy confident boy around you just like I am with mummy Zoe. I am sorry that things scare me at first but I promise its worth the effort you give me for what you'll get in return. I am a fun and caring boy, there really isn't one bad bone in my body. I'm super sweet, just nervous that is all.
I feel a home without young loud children would 100% be best. Dogs that are quite and chilled would be ok however their MUST be at least 1 existing cat within the household as I haven't ever been alone or without a cat buddy & that would help me tremendously. If you haven't got an existing cat already in the house hold but wouldn't mind giving me a chance, may I recommend you maybe adopting Herbie with me? We quite good pals and he's a little nervous too so at least we'd have each other.

If you'd like to give me and possibly Herbie a chance at a happy ever after I would absolutely love to hear from you. Its so close to be having been here for a year when it hits July... I just want my family. Please click the 'adoption' option below now to fill out a form for me and potentially be the one to take me home. Thankyou so very much x

Hello all. My name is Lilly, I was born in a house with my siblings however our mum removed us from the house only a couple days after we were born and brough us up elsewhere. You see our mum was a feral cat and the lady was in the middle of trying to gain her trust but mum mustn't have trusted her to much and proceeded to move us away. When we grew older and mum felt she clearly needed help feeding us we all returned to the nice ladies house where she fed & kept an eye on us.
She then contacted Zoe's Ark when we were old enough to leave mum to get us into a more secure & safe space. When I came in I was just like my siblings, very nervous & unsure of everything, however I blossoming into a really loving and caring kitty, one of the more confident ones. I love attention and if you blow me kisses I love to come over and get them for real.
I am a very happy girl, nothing much phases me, I love to be loved though I don't care about being picked up, I'd rather come over to you. I get on with all the other cats, I'm very friendly, therefore the home must have exsisting cats as their company is something I enjoy, calm dogs and children I would also be ok with, just nothing too crazy as it can trigger the nervous side of me and when I have worked so hard to get away from that I'd rather keep away from it.
I know I would be able to make someone very happy and I'd love + appreciate if you'd consider giving me that chance. Thankyou for taking your time to read about me. I hope to here from you soon. Click the 'adoption' option below in quick links to take the leap now. L x
Peralta & Pontiac
Hello my names Peralta and next to me is my brother Pontiac. Did you know we are actually twins? When born we came off the same placenta. If you look closely our markings are exactly the same, the only difference being I am slightly darker in colour then my brother.
Me and my brother were born in a house with our siblings however our mum removed us from the house only a couple days after we were born and brough us up elsewhere, you see our mum was a feral cat and the lady was in the middle of trying to gain her trust but mum mustn't have trusted her to much and proceeded to move us away. When we grew older and mum felt she clearly needed help feeding us we all returned to the nice ladies house.
The lady fed us and took care of us until we were old enough and then she contacted Zoe's Ark to get us in, we had knowledge of humans however we were still very scared and wary because even though the lady kindly fed us and kept an eye on us, we didn't let her too close and she respected that.
It took a few weeks for us to be rehabilitated and to realise we weren't going to be hurt, we have accepted strokes, kisses and love to play, however we are still wary when it comes to be walked up too and will sometimes choose to go the other way when you approach, but then be the first to come up and have a look what you're doing and give nose kisses. I'm also more confident then my brother but he's come so far.
People don't realise how much the right home can help us. It can have a tremendous impact and help continue our development drastically and that is where we need YOU. We have outdoor experience, however not since being younger, we'd cope with cat friendly dogs as long as they weren't too much, cats we get on with amazingly doesn't matter who they are we are such social butterflies with them, however because we want to continue growing & blossoming our confidence we wouldn't want to live in a house with children under 15 as the noise and chaos would be a bit to much for us.
So if you think you could give us an amazing happier ever after & wouldn't mind 2 ginger boys hanging out with you we'd love to hear from you! Don't hesitate and click the 'adoption' option below in the quick links for your chance to have us! We are waiting & raring to go, thankyou.
Bill & Ben
Bill & Ben were brought into rescue back in July 2024 at only 2 weeks old along with their mum, auntie & another cat from the house hold. Bill & Ben weren't doing the best health wise & started to decline rapidly. Their eyes were sealed shut and once we managed to soak them and open them a lot of puss started coming out. They were struggling to put on weight and struggling to poo. Its was heartbreaking, so alongside feeding off their mum, we stepped in to also help hand rear them.
It was long time of uncertainty, however we are so very thankful to say they made an amazing comeback and survived with lots of eyedrops & antibiotics. All we needed now was to find them the perfect home. Bill & Bens personality showed in everything they did, double trouble is definitely the way we would describe them, with the biggest hearts of gold. Bill and Ben were very well known at a local cafe near the vets, as when hand rearing them, they had to come everywhere with me, eventually when old enough the owner of the cafe would make them scrambled eggs to enjoy and help them get stronger, it was lovely, they really did spread joy wherever they went.
It took a couple months until we ended up finding the perfect home for the boys and I can honestly say for them it was worth the wait & I couldn't be happier, these quirky boys went to a quirky home and they now live happily ever after.
Charlie
Our super handsome half Mainecoon kitty Charlie came to us along with 6 of his siblings & half siblings back in July 2024. Though Charlie & his siblings were born in a home, a couple of days later they were removed out of the home by the 2 mother cats due to them actual being feral cats who were just being looked after by a lady who was trying to gain their trust. A few weeks passed and eventually the mother cats came back along with each of their babies where the lady then continued to look after & care them.
In the meantime she then contacted us to see if we could step in to help take some once they were old enough to leave mum, within this conversation it was mentioned how a ginger Mainecoon had been hanging around them all and it was clear to them he was an intact male, when we found out that most the kittens were then ginger it made sense very quickly who the dad was. Especially when we got our first photo of Charlie sent to us! There was definitely no denying it.
Once Charlie and his siblings came into the rescue it was clear these poor babies were scared and reserved, though they had knowledge of humans thanks to that lady, they still for the first 4 most important weeks of their lives, grew up ferally leaving them lacking certain skills or trust in humans. However with time, patience & looks of love they all started to come around, Charlie himself making the quickest and best progress. When I came time to finding up a home, he was snapped up immediately... Is it any wonder?
Here are his updates for you all.
1 Month:
Odin has settled so well and is so loving. He loves to play with our Charlie cat as they rush around the house and chase each other through the cat tunnels we have. They do cuddle up together on an evening and he has begun to sleep on the bed with the rest of the gang on a nightime. He has a new favourite toy of a Catnip hedgehog which he likes to throw around and carry with him. He has loved christmas attacking my christmas tree decorations and batting the baubles down my hallway. He loves to be at the centre of everything happening and has loved meeting all the family and friends over christmas. He is now using the automated toilet and uses the scratchy posts/boxes like a pro. He loves to eat and snuggle on your knee. We absolutely adore him ❤️

Cheeky Charlies 3 month update:
Odin (formally Charlie) is such a little character. He is such a lovable mischief. He loves to be in the middle of everything happening and loves to sit on your knee and will pester everyone for tummy rubs. We recently welcomed a new baby into the home and he absolutely adores her, he likes to check on her when she cries and loves to join us for cuddles. I'm sure she has a best friend in him already.
Odin enjoys trying to trip us up on the stairs, running around the house at night with our other cat and playing with his toys. He is the greediest of cats and always appears at dinner times and you can guarantee he will be in the kitchen if someone walks through. He always makes us laugh causing choas around the house. He is very much loved by the whole family. ❤️
Powder

Hi my names Powder and I came into the rescue because I didnt really like the owners older cat and she felt he was to old to be dealing with my wrath, that being said I don't hate all cats as the other cats that came in with me from my old home were ones I could tolerate even though sometimes they'd be a bit much.
When I first came into rescue I was a very hissy lady and hid for weeks, however one day I took the leap and came out at feeding time, realised mummy Zoe and the volunteers were actually safe and kind and my confidence has grown ever since. I love nothing more then cuddles, hugs, kisses, attention and to sleep with you on the bed! I now get pushed away so things can be done as I want to take up all the time for attention! There isn't actually a bad bone in my body, I've never went to strike or attack even when I was hissy, I was just scared.
Being here since July one of the things I know goes against me I my colour, even though I really am a gorgeous girlie inside & out (if I do say so myself). If you took a chance on me I can promise you'll never be alone once I am settled. Its so important I find myself a place to call home because I've worked so very hard and I do believe I deserve that chance.
I'd prefer to stay in the safety of the indoors, no young screaming crazy kids, no dogs... I'm really just looking for a quite, peaceful life, filled with love and care. I hope its not to much to ask for! If you feel you can offer me what I am looking for I'd love to hear from you. Please click on the 'adoption' option below & fill out a form for me today! Thankyou in advance x
Moxxi & Peaches
Our beautiful sister duo are off to their new home and we are truly so very excited for them.
Moxxi & Peaches were signed over to us in July 2024 along with Moxxi's two babies and another existing cat in the house hold after the owner started to realise she had to many cats within her house hold and it was becoming far to much. The lady was lovely and it was clear she love them all very much but she did indeed do the right thing, for the right reasons.
From the get go Moxxi & Peaches were super lovely & very sweet showing just how wonder they'd be as pets so its no surprise that they then were then picked. We look foward to getting their updates to share with you all soon.
Freeman
Our gorgeous boy Freeman came to us along with 6 of his siblings & half siblings back in July 2024. Though Freeman & his siblings were born in a home, a couple of days later they were removed out of the home by the 2 mother cats due to them actually being feral cats who were just being looked after by a lady who was trying to gain their trust.

However with time, patience & looks of love they all started to come around.
Freeman was one of the most nervous in the bunch and we knew he'd need a household that would give him time and that is exactly what we were able to find him and as suspected, because of this hes blossomed beautifully.
Here are his updates for you all.

A little bundle of energy that spends every minute bouncing around winding the other cats up to play.
He really enjoys sprinting around the bedroom at 0400.
Hes very affectionate when he's tired, especially towards Megan. Like to lie on her lap on the sofa.

Molly & Megan
Hello everyone, my names Molly and I'm here with my sister Megan. We were born here in the rescue along with my brother, however he was quickly snapped up by a volunteer who ended up falling in-love with him and who can blame them, he was a cutie. However so are we and this is our call out to you in hopes you might fall in-love with us next.
We are the tinkers of the rescue and everyone agrees when its said that whoever gets us will never have a dull moment in their lives because not only are we super fun... We are also super funny. We really enjoy company, we love attention, cuddles and would love someone to sleep on the bed with or cuddle up on the couch with. We get on super well with other cats however we haven't been dog tested but truth be told if there was a cat friendly dog out there we probably would settle as we are fearless... We even follow and try and play with the hoover.
We know a lot of people find black and white cats boring but all we can do is promise you we aren't... We'd also be great with kids. We are so well behaved and are fully litter trained, we just want a place to call our own now but to stay indoors where we are safe.
