Westgate Ark Cat Rescue and Rehoming
Sometimes cat owners can be faced with circumstances which prevent them from keeping their cats any longer or in continuing to provide good care and affection. Factors such as working or travelling long hours, homelessness, illness, relationship break-ups, poverty, changes in circumstances, etc, are typical reasons for this.
