Hello all, my name is Posey. I came to the rescue when a lady finally captured me after months of trying out of fear I was pregnant and out in the cold. I was checked for a microchip but there was no luck, I also went for an ultrasound and it turns out I wasn't pregnant at all. I definitely haven't been a feral all my life as my love trust and care towards humans is second to non, I guess nobody really knows what's happened, but anyway I am so glad I am safe and loved back now.
I get on well with other cats, it just takes me a bit to be introduced because I can be sassy at first but after a bit I get over it, I would however also be just as happy as an only cat with the soul attention of the household. I don't really have a nasty bone in my body, I can be picked up, cuddled and I LOVE head kisses, boy am I a sucker for them. I enjoy sleeping on the bed next to you and just living life happily in your company.
I could quite possibly be a little younger then the age given however we just aren't sure, we don't reckon I am any older though and I am glad to say I am purrrrrfectly healthy.
I don't want to share my space with dogs, I dislike them very much. Children I would be happy around also but please don't let them continuously brush my furr backwards as I don't like that. There isn't much I don't like. I just want to be loved, I am litter trained and don't ever have accidents... Mummy Zoe says its most important I tell everyone the truth about myself to make sure I get the best possible home for me as I really do deserve it.

Midnight
Hello my name is Midnight, if I was to be described in three words I reckon it would be, nervous, feisty and dramatic. Although in general I am a good girl, I am litter-trained, I get on well with other cats, I don't cause any problems within the rescue, I can be very very sassy when it comes to humans. I am not the easiest to catch, I can hiss and can spit and I don't really like human contact however this is something where if I am settled, it could continue to be worked on.
I came from a massive feral colony down in Stafford where there were over 40 of us, it was hard but considering I'm over 1 years old with no proper human interaction or experience it would explain why I can be the way I am at times, I literally have known no better.
A person with experience in feral fesity's would be beneficial for me as I am not a cat for the faint hearted, I have shown signs of calming down though, like when I was taken for my vaccines once I was caught I let Mummy Zoe and the vet give me my vaccine no problems at all.
I just need time, space, respect and most of all a person I can trust, Mummy Zoe wants it to be a last resort on putting me up as an outdoor feral. It goes without saying I cannot be homed to anyone who has children, visiting children are fine as I can go and hide but please make it known to them I would want to be left alone and to respect that. Other cats are fine however dogs are a no no.
If you feel you could be capable of loving me and warming my heart please click on the adoption option below in quick links to apply for me now. Thankyou.
Sponge
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 other 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.
Marci
Hello all my names Marci, short for Marceline which is a name of the French origin meaning 'Little warrior'. I was called this as I haven't ever been a pet before and ended up a feral stray pregnant. I gave birth to 4 beautiful babies. We were captured in September by mummy Zoe who pushed to help us and then officially set up the rescue. I've been here the longest as mummy Zoe has really wanted to work on me to give me the best chance possible in being rehomed.
I really have come a long long way, when I first came in the rescue I hissed and would strike out, I hated anyone near me, I smashed every single thing in the bathroom petrified and wanting to get out, I just hid, over the months I have now grown confidence, come out with ease, play and live happily and comfortably with in the 4 walls of what I now call home.
I still have my moments, truthfully deep down I will always be a sassy diva, but I mean no harm, what's life without a little spice though? I'm still weary when I comes to being stroked and do need more time to trust however I'm more willing then what I was, I just sometimes (depending on my mood or if I'm hungry) like to bop your with my paw in order to tell you to leave me be or I will run off though I'm starting to stay a little longer.
I am loving and do enjoy being around you however its from a distance at the moment and its on my terms. I'm a lady who knows what she wants and most importantly what she DOESN'T want.
I get on well with all cats, even if a cat tries to hit me I never react, I would make a wonderful pet if you're looking for a cat mainly to keep your other cat company and give you something super pretty to look at. I cant be around young children or dogs though this would really upset me and stress me out, visiting children are fine as I can take myself away to a quite space but that's are far as I'll go. older cat savvy children are fine. (16+).
Please consider me because I really do have so much potential. All my children have now been adopted and its time for me to find a place to call my own, there has to be someone out there who would like my spice and smile/laugh at it admiring the fact I'm just me and still feed me at the end of the day.
For your chance to adopt me please fill out a form in the 'Adoption' option below in the quick links section today. Thankyou for you consideration.
Rufus
Hello my names Rufus, I'm a very friendly, kind caring boy with a heck of a lot of love to give. I have come to the rescue through no fault of my own, apparently my owner became allergic to me and our neighbours were complaining of me pooping in their garden, I guess I just didn't understand how that was wrong.
I get on with everyone in the rescue meaning I am suitable for homes that already have kittys and are wanting to add to their furr family, I also use to live with dogs and young children so I have had experience with all. I really want a family to call my own again because I know I really could provide a lot of happiness, I love cuddles & kisses and to give cuddles and kisses. I love sleeping with you on the bed and being around you and your company.
I have outdoor experience also, however I have settled into indoor life perfectly and I am not one bit of bother, I am litter-trained and dont cry to go out, is there really much more anyone could want from a cat? I really am the whole package, I really could fit into just about any family.
If you would like to adopt me please dont hesitate to fill out a form for me in the 'adoption' option below as you wont ever regret it. Thankyou in advance.
Timmy
Timmy has found his furrever home x
Larry
Hello all, my names Larry I was captured all the way in Stafford where I was part of a very large cat colony (over 40 cats). I am a lovely boy once I get to know you, I just hide quite a lot at first. I do like being stroked and will tilt my face into your hand in enjoyment and I love head kisses. I'm very food orientated so its the best way to cox me out at the beginning. I'm quite a big chonky boy and when being checked over at the vets they've said I'm very healthy and have done really well for myself all things considering.
Since being in the rescue my confidence has definitely grown but I would love love love a place to call my own where I can settle and live out the rest of my days happy and comfortable and I know if someone has time to give me I will become a wonderful boy to have around given the chance.
I feel a home with older people and no young children would suit me, visiting ones are fine as I can just take myself away but this isn't something I would want to constantly live with, I'm one for a more quieter, relaxing lifestyle. I of course come with outdoor experience however I would need to stay in for a few months till my confidence has grown inside the house because if I haven't completely settled I might end up doing a runner, that being said I've adapted to indoor life perfectly, I have never complained or cried to get out, I do like looking out the window though. I am litter trained and have no accidents and I get on with other cats splendidly. What more could you really ask for?
If you like the sound of me and feel you can offer what I am looking for then please don't hesitate to fill out the 'Adoption form' on the adoption option below for your chance to call me yours. Thankyou for taking your time to read this.
Mr. Puddlesworth
Hi, my names Mr. Puddlesworth. I'm not one bit of bother to look after at the rescue, I'm generally quite easy, any kind of care I appreciate after having to fend for myself most of my life. I was part of a feral cat colony collected in Stafford, where there were over 40 of us. A lady spent weeks getting us all and then found us all rescue spaces. Myself & Larry both came here along with two others (Midnight & Sponge).
I have been getting more use to human contact since being in the rescue, getting fed lots of treats helps, I can be a bit hissy and growly when I don't know you but I haven't ever lashed out and once I'm being touched I'm actually fine, just at first it makes me nervous, growing up I've had to fend and protect myself which meant I haven't exactly had much human contact, if any, before I came here but mummy Zoe says I'm showing so much potential.
I am completely litter trained, I have no accidents, I get on well with other cats, I'm very low maintenance, so long as I have food, a comfy bed and a quite life I don't feel there is much more I need nor want. I just might spend the first few weeks hiding.
Because of my hiss and growling tendencies I wouldn't like to be around young children, this opens the door to possibly not being respected or listened to when I do this and that doesn't sit right with me, I'd just like an older household who understand cats and can build my confidence and trust rather then break it as I know I could make somebody very happy in the right homely environment. So if you're looking for a friend for you or your feline, I am more then happy to assist.
If you feel you can offer me what I'm looking for and give me my happy ever after we would love to hear from you. Please scroll down and click the 'Adoption' option below to fill a form out for me today. Thankyou so much for taking your time to read about me.
Tarp
Tarp successfully went to his new home on the 19th of January 2024. Tarp was found as part of a litter of 4 babies along with their mother, all completely feral. Over time Tarp well and truly came out of his shell, he loved playing, socialising, cuddles and kisses and we just knew a home with other cats would be the best thing for him and he found a home with 4 other friends. His confidence after everything was something to be admired.
Tarp went into his new home like he had always been there and settled almost immediately. It was heart warming to see, he was the last of the original kittens captured here at Zoe's Ark so its wonderful to see him finally have a place to call his furrever home. We wish him and his new family every bit of happiness.
Tarp has now been at his new forever home for over a month now and here is what his new owner has to say about him:
Tarp took no time to settle, it felt like he already knew us. We have four other cats, two we say are his big brothers who love to give him a bath. He especially loves Finn, they trot about together, play fight, chase each other, chirp to each other and chill out together. Tarp owns all the beds, four fluffy donut beds, two hammocks and two on the cat tree but it's extra nice waking up with him on my bed. He loves going outside so much he jumps over the other cats as soon as the door is open. It is an enclosed garden so totally safe. He steals food, especially butter and bread if he gets the opportunity. Everything is tucked away in cupboards now. He did manage to get a small joint of beef on Sunday that was destined for the freezer, he looked so proud trotting about with it. Then he came proudly strutting in with a bag of crumpets. I've not had a meal in peace since he arrived, he wants to try everything including tomato soup. Bought an extra high safety gate to keep him out of the kitchen, that failed. He is the sweetest little thing and the perfect addition to our household. Thank you so much to Zoe and whoever else was involved in his rescue.
- Mandy Flory.
Lovely boy Tarp has now been in his home for 3 whole months and here is his update:
Tarp has been part of the family for 3 months now, he's definitely livened things up here. We had two youngish cats as well as the two older ones. The two younger ones like to play, especially Finn, who was the youngest, now they get woke up at all hours of the morning by Tarp who thinks its acceptable to play fight with them on my bed. He is gorgeous though, he has such an irresistible face, full of mischief. He'll still steal food if given the opportunity, he'll still come trotting into the living room, so proud that he's got the packet of crumpets that you had bagged up for the freezer. His best friend is Finn, they trot about together, hang about all morning waiting for me to let them play out. Tarp loves sitting in the garden, he doesn't care if it's cold. He eats non stop, will jump in the fridge when i open the door to get his chicken. He even steals off the other cats, sits and pulls their bowl away from them if he wants it. I call him goldilocks as he has to try food from everyone's bowl as I'm dishing it out, steals everyone's blanket and tries everyone's beds, but you can call him what you want as he wont answer, he refuses to be name trained. We all love him to bits and so glad he was available for us to re-home. So lucky that a friend shared Zoe's page one day and so so lucky that Zoe rescued him and his family. Thank you Zoe for looking out for all these babies who need your help. Wish everyone had a heart like yours.
Viktor
Viktor was a rescue that came to me through another rescue called Cakis Dogs which help save abandoned and abused dogs on the streets and in the kill shelters of Bosnia. Viktor was successfully rehomed between me and a worker of Cakis Dogs all the way back in 2019. He was the craziest pupper id ever met, constantly full of beans and excitement, he loved nothing more then ripping things apart and driving you round the bend but underneath his bonkers exterior was a puppy who just wanted to love and be loved, a puppy who didn't understand right from wrong. He slowly got to where he needed to be and hearing he was still with his forever home was really heart-warming as he really did need continuous training... listening wasn't he strong point. As far as I know he is still where he was, he's happy healthy and is loved. He's a big miss and life was pretty quiet without him for a while but I'm glad he is where he belongs.
