Hello, my names Daisy and I'm here with my sister from another mister Luna. We are both lovely girls and typical cats, we love attention and a fuss however we are happy to tell you when we've had enough however this is is quite rare just more if you hit our no no spots which is primarily our bellies but we can be picked up and I (Daisy) love, love, love kisses.
We came to the rescue due to a relationship break down stressing out the household, it just got us worked up which in return made us very anxious and scared. Our owners daughter would stroke us and hit our no no spots and with emotions flying in the air, this would cause one of us mainly to bite and this then made her scared of us.
In general we are lovely cats, please don't let this put you off us, we just need a nice calm relaxed environment, somewhere without chaos and panic. Since being at the rescue we haven't bitten or even attempted to bite once. We are nice ladies, fully litter trained and yes I may be a little older, Luna is only 4 however, we both have many many years ahead of us.
We have always been indoor, therefore this means we need to stay indoors only. We don't want dogs near us either and maybe its for the best there is no children living in the house hold under 14. Visiting children are fine as we will just remove ourselves from the situation when they are around.
Please please give us a chance, we are love bugs who just need some stability and routine. If you like the sound of us lovely ladies then please don't hesitate to scroll down to the adoption option below in the quick links section and pop our names down today. Thank-you.

Lars
Our lovely Lars came to us in March 2024 after being a stray for quite sometime in Manchester. Lars was quite a fortunate boy because even though he was a stray, a lady would feed him and make sure he was ok and was happy to do this. Unfortunately this lady was then having to move, not in a position to take him with her and contacted a local rescuer who then contacted us to see if we had space.
Luckily enough she was already due to bring up 6 others so we told her we would find room for Lars and to bring him up with her. Lars you could tell from the start had been very well looked after by this lady to which we were very thankful for because this made his rehabilitation journey much more smoother and simpler meaning he was able to be put up for adoption relatively quickly and what made it even better was the fact he had very few limitations meaning he could be rehomed with other cats and children + be allowed outdoors as he had shown he was street/road savvy for years.
Though we though Lars would be snapped up it actually took slightly longer then expected for someone to come forward wanting to take him on however we are thankful to say the lady who then put in to adopt him was perfect and could offer Lars everything he could ever want and here is an update for you all.
1 month update:-
He seems really happy, Zoe. He gets on well with Daphne now but struggles with Jude still (male). Lars is really sweet with him but Jude hisses at him! We are monitoring them and they do not fight, just some hissing from Jude. We have let him out today for the first time, on the terrace. He is very good and comes back as soon as you call him (and there are always dreamies😂).

Ashton
Our lovely Ashton came to us in March 2024 after being tracked as a stray for a few months in Manchester before being trapped and brought into our care. From the start Ashton showed true potential of being a very loving caring cat despite his nervous ways at first.
Once we were happy at the stage Ashton was up he went for rehoming and it wasn't long before an elderly mans daughter found him and felt he could quite likely be exactly what both her mum and dad where looking for. They all came for a meet and greet and indeed Ashton was who they fell for.
A couple weeks later it was time for Ashton to go and boy did he settle in quickly! The friendship that has blossomed between this gentleman and Ashton has been nothing but beautiful to hear about and watch. Here are his updates for you all.
1 month update :-
The green chair with robin cushion appears to be his favourite, it has a view of the garden & is generally a sunny spot. He's not showing much interest in the door, seems very content having the run of the house & all the windowsills. Which is great, long may it last...
- Helen Frost (daughter)
Lovely Ashtons 3 month update:-
He's tremendous! A very happy cat. Roams the farm & garden during the day & lies on knees or in front of fire at night.
6 month later:-
Ashton is brilliant & he seems very very happy. He's good as gold, if he's outside playing around the farm he comes when he's called. He's sits on knees once he's done playing outside & is really friendly & good company.
Kitty
Beautiful Kitty turned up at a ladies house on and off again over the duration of 5/6 months, where she wouldn't come to close and would stay in the yard however, one day Kitty decided to fully go into the house. I then recieved a phone call off this lady once she realised that this cat must have been someones pet because this seemingly nervous cat was actually a super friendly loving sweetie pie.
The next day I set off with my scanner to scan her and BOOM there it was, she was indeed chipped where we then found out her name was Kitty. I then reached out to Kitty's owner via the chip details but I couldn't get through to them at all, however I thankfully also made a shout out on our facebook page asking for her owners to come forward and eventually my post found their way to them where I managed to let them know she was safe and well and was excited for reuniting them as it turned out Kitty had been missing for over a year! So a date and time was arranged for her to be collected the next day.
This quickly changed when the morning came and I awoke to a message off the owner stating he didn't want her back because after she left they'd gotten a dog and didn't feel Kitty and the dog would get on, it was also stated that when Kitty left it had caused to much upset to the kids and they didnt want to bring Kitty back for her to then 'dissapear' again.
My heart was broken for this poor girl, so friendly and so loving yet didn't understand she wasn't even wanted back, so we decided she would stay at the ladies house where they'd foster her until we found a permanent home which didn't take long at all and now she's at a home where she couldn't be more loved and appriciated & for that we are so grateful.
Here are her updates,
1 Month:-
Kitty settled in very quickly and is so loving. Her new name is bandit which suits her very well. She's now an indoor and outdoor cat and she was lead trained in the garden until we thought she was ready to be let out alone. Now she has her morning adventures and waits at the door to be let in again. She loves her cuddles and 5am zoomies around the house. Is very affectionate with new people that come in the house too. She's definitely the perfect cat for us, we love her so much 🩷
- Lottie Hawthorn
Lovely Kitty's 3 month update:-
Bandit is truly the bundle of joy we all needed. I couldn't imagine a life without her now, she greets everyone as they come in the door and gives the best cuddles, even if it's at 5am and she becomes a neck scarf. She loves our company and follows us through the house. She has her outdoor outings too but definitely prefers the warm couch. She's all ready to be in the first Christmas family photo 🥰
Manny & Clayton
Manny & Clayton were brough into us back in March 2024 after they had spent almost the first year of their lives living in and around the alleyways of a town in Manchester. Manny & Clayton made great progress after a while, becoming less nervous and more confident around humans but not towards them, we knew that ultimately the more room and freedom they had, the happier they'd be but did also love being fed and looked after in that way.
That's when a lady enquired, looking for 2-3 farm/feral cats for a small hold her and her sister ran and when shown where they'd be staying and all the fancy huts and beds they'd have, we knew they'd love having that freedom and comfort in one whilst also being loved and cared for in health too. We also knew they boys got on well with Mr Puddlesworth (another more feral cat in our care) so we felt it best they all stay together and so away they all went in November 2024.
Here are their lovely updates:-
1 month update:-
Hi, everyone is great Manny and Clayton like to circle us like sharks. We've not let them outside yet as we want to make sure they are settled .xx

Sponge
Reserved
Hello all my name is Sponge, I've been at the rescue for a little while now and though I am still pretty nervous, I am ready to find my new loving, furever home.
I was collected from Staffordshire where I was living quite rurally in part of a feral cat colony. In total there was probably 50 of us, I am thankful to say because of this I am use to cats and can live with them. I wouldn't like to live in a house with dogs or young children though, just a nice comfy warm place where I can settle in my own time and be just as loved.
I believe in the right environment I will be able to thrive, do you have time and patience for a kitty like me? I am litter-trained and I'm a really good boy, the as the days pass, my confidence grows that little bit more.
Please please please try & give me a chance, I could even just be great company for your current kitties and a pretty boy to look at. Thankyou in advance, if you are interested I'd be very grateful if you filled out the 'Adoption' option below in the quick links area and type my name in.
Hydie
Our beautiful girl Hydie was signed over to us by a rescuer in Manchester after she was seen roaming the streets for weeks in March 2024. When Hydie first came in she showed us just how sassy she could be, ending up with the nickname 'Miss Sass Pants' however she very quickly showed us her sweet, kind, sensitive side and she really was a loving kitty (though the other rescue cats had to deal with the sass).
Hydie really did have so much potential, we gathered this pretty quickly and though she tolerated the other rescue cats we knew with her personality she would have preferred to be an only cat with all her attention on HER and I'm thankful to say we were able to deliver that to her in September 2024 when a lovely lady applied for her.
Here is Hydies (now Rosie) updates:-
1 month update:-
Rosie is a beautiful sassy little girl, she has definitely made herself at home, she loves nothing more than playing with her toys, when I get in from work she sits at waits for me to have my dinner then it's play time with her fav toy. it's a fishing rod with a feather at the end (for cats) and she jumps and runs with it. Then when she's had enough she comes in for snuggles. At night I tell her it's bed time and she gallops to the bedroom ready to Snuggle in. In the morning she sits on my knee while I do my makeup usually trying to fish something out lol
- Emma Bankhurst
Lovely Hydies 3 month update:-
She is just beautiful, I couldn't imagine my life without her. She has filled out and is fluff ball. She is like my shadow and follows me everywhere, sits on my knees in the morning when I do my make up. Loves playing with her toys and snuggles.
She is loving my xmas 🎄 climbs, playing with the decorations, and climbing up it lol. One thing she does is sits and waits when I have my morning shower then once i am out she goes in and sits there as if to say it's my turn lol she has been on her first holiday, she stayed at my sisters when I went away for a fews days and loved all the news smells and things to get into, she tried to lay on my sisters her legs but she lays different to me so she nudged and pawed at her to lay like I do so she could be comfortable lol honestly Iover her so much, I can't thank u enough x
Rufus
Our lovely boy Rufus was signed over to us back in March 2024 through absolutely no fault of his own, his owners children had become allergic to him along with their apparent neighbour complaining of Rufus using their garden to toilet in. We really felt for him here at the rescue when reading about it.
Rufus very quickly showed us just how amazing he really was, he was so loving, so friendly and so very sweet in everyway. We knew he would fit in just about any home even ones with dogs and once his went up on our website it really wasn't too long before this handsome boy was snapped up and away he went to his new home to start his happy ever after in August 2024.
Here are his updates-
Rufus' 1 month update:-
He's very happy in his new home and is loving lots of attention and strokes. He has prawns on a Friday and enjoying country life with his new pals. He's had some supervised outdoor time and loves chasing his new friends around the farm. Xx
- Helen Hudson
Handsome boys 3 month update:-
Rufus is doing great and loving the outdoor life on the farm. He's such a lovely boy and purrs all the time. His favorite things to do are sit in the sink so he can clean the plates for us 🤣 and chase bunny's. Xx
Posey
Posey came into Zoe's Ark in March 2024. She was picked up by a member of public who had spotted her hanging around for a few months right next to a very busy main road, eventually Posey went into hiding where the women did nothing but worry something might have happened to her until Posey turned up again yowling leading the women the women to believe she was then in season or possibly pregnant. The women was more then happy to keep/look after Posey however both Posey and the existing cats of the house hold did not like each other forcing the lady to then come to us for help.
Posey was one of the most sweetest cats I'd come across making it impossible to believe she was a feral and more of a stray, how she ended up that way is something we dont know. She was checked for a chip but one wasn't found so we got to work getting her ready for a furrever home once she was out of her isolation period. We knew she would easily make someone a very happy person and also make a wonderful family pet. Though Posey was kept in the main part of the rescue along with other cats she did make it known she'd only tolerate so much of their crazy antics leading us to believe she could be homed with other cats providing their was enough room but ultimately she'd be happiest by herself having the sole attention.
Thankfully we found her just that with a mother and daughter duo who seemed so very perfect for her and here is an update for you all:-
1 month later:-
Posey is such a loving girl. She loves playing with a ping ping balls and fishing rod toys. She loves to find sun spots in the house for a nap. She's a wonderful addition to our family. X
- Fiona Pomfret
Luna
Lovely Luna came to us in April 2024. She wasn't in for long at all until she was snapped up spending an exact total of 4 weeks with us. Luna was signed over to us through no fault of her own and showed quickly her cute, sassy personality.
Luna then went to her new home where she again settled in very quickly and is now officially ruling the roost.
Here are her updates:
1 month:
Luna has settled in perfectly, she now owns the house and allows us to stay there, she's started venturing outside she likes to run from the back to the front garden and she's been checking out our neighbours gardens she loves catching and chasing flys
- Clare Witten
Lovely Lunas 3 month update:
She's absolutely fine it's like she's been with us her whole life she's proper nosey has to see what everyone's doing can't even go to the toilet without her following lol she goes outside but doesn't leave the house she goes out one door round the block and comes back in the other she's a right caricature honestly
6 Months:-
She’s doing absolutely great.Although she has been a little fluffy ball of sass, she has certainly brought a lot of energy and love to the home. She loves a cuddle on an early morning, and she also loves to zoom around the house on an early morning. She’s always full of curiosity and has become both an indoor and outdoor cat. She has such a funny personality and is always looking to play. We love her so much.
