Kāpiti Cats - Found Minx 😻 Helping cats in Kapiti, NZ
😺 trapping and making a plan
😽 kittens/cats avaliable for adoption We got him back!!!!! If we can help we will!

We started this page to help find our cat Minx who was stolen and dumped far from home. Now we use this page to help cats in the Kāpiti region. We can help with scanning for microchips, trapping cats, access to subsidized desexing, advice etc. We mostly focus on colonies and surrender to Levin SPCA if possible. However in peak kitten season when all the rescues and SPCA are full we take in more ki

ttens and cats ourselves so sometimes do adoptions. We can't bear to see cats/kittens we know we could help find homes be euthanized or left to breed in the wild! We are a registered charity: Kapiti Cats - Found Minx CC63320

We are 100% funded by donations. If you can help our account number is 38-9027- 0054392-00

This sweet boy recently went to a foster-to-adopt home, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. The resident cat wasn’t too keen on sharing their space. Georgie just wants to play, cuddle and be loved by a furry sibling as much as his humans.

Georgie is a friendly, affectionate kitten with loads of love to give. He thrives on companionship and would love a home with another playful, welcoming cat to be his bestie. He’s a gentle soul with a big heart who doesn’t understand why the other cat didn’t want to be friends 💔

If you have a social cat who might like a buddy Georgie could be your guy. He’s ready to fill your home and heart with joy. Fill out the form if you'd like to meet him and put "Georgie" in the comments: https://forms.gle/dSjZwqyV7XZhsMzbA

It's been about 6 weeks since these videos so Georgie has grown a bit bigger. He is about 5 months old now. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with flea and worm treatment.

Just as we thought this busy season was winding down for us with just a couple of kittens left in our care and most of our foster families taking a very well deserved break we've had another wave of mainly teenage kittens coming in. So we need foster homes for teenage kittens!

We're on the lookout for kind-hearted humans to foster some of our teenage kittens (4–8 months old) who need a safe space to grow, play and learn that the world isn’t so scary. These curious, quirky in-betweeners are often overlooked for tiny fluffballs but they’re just as deserving of love and a second chance.

Everything is provided: food, litter, bedding and plenty of support. You just bring the love, time and a cozy spot in your home.

Whether you're a seasoned foster or it's your first time, we’ll support you every step of the way. Fostering is temporary, but the impact is forever.
Message us with your contact details and a bit of a description of what your home life is like if you can help and we will be in touch soon.

8 Adoptions This Weekend!

We had an absolutely purr-fect weekend with 8 cats/kittens adopted and we're thrilled to share that most of them were teenagers! Charlie (adult- Elvis' mum) Freddie, Umeka, Uiki, Uzeki, Ukyo, Kit and Elvis all found their forever happily ever after.

Teenage kittens (4–10 months old) are often overlooked in favour of tiny fluffballs, but they make amazing companions: playful, curious and already past the newborn chaos.

It was such a privilege meeting so many wonderful people who were willing to give these slightly older babies a chance, to see past the kitten stage and fall in love with their unique personalities.

To everyone who opened their hearts and homes this weekend: thank you. You've changed 8 lives forever.

Pictured here is Elvis, who felt immediately right at ease with the people who had fallen in love with him the first time we posted about him and had been patiently waiting for him to grow big enough to come home with them.

Another successful adoption! Freddie has just been adopted. From frightened wildie at 4 months to head bopping darling at 6 months. A lovely family with teens have given this sweetie a loving forever home and plenty of patience. Go well Freddie 🖤

Thanks to the incredible $200 donation from one of our recent adopters brothers Uzeki and Ukyo get to grow old together 🩶🩶. Today they were adopted together and even get a pair of human brothers as well. We are so thrilled with this wonderful outcome.

One of our lovely recent adopters is so smitten with her new adult cat that she wants someone else to experience the same joy: the cuddles, the companionship and the magic of bringing a rescue cat home.

She’s kindly donating $200 towards adoption fees to help these teenage cats have a better shot at finding a forever home. We’re splitting this between TWO lucky adopters, meaning TWO lucky people will pay just $100 each to adopt one of these teen cats!
If the full adoption fee is a barrier for you, but you are able to fit the ongoing cost of food, litter and worm & flea treatment in to your weekly budget, this is a beautiful opportunity made possible by someone who knows just how much love a rescue cat brings into your life.

To put it in perspective:
Our usual adoption fee is $250, which we have reduced for the school holidays to $200 and is already subsidised well below what it actually costs us to provide their care including desexing, vaccination, microchipping, vet checks, parasite treatment, food and lots of love. So this is a rare and very generous opportunity!

Teen cats are the best of both worlds, they’ve grown out of the unpredictable kitten mayhem but are still playful, curious and full of personality. Whether you’re after a lap companion, a shadow, or a wrestling buddy for your resident cat, one of these teen cats might just be your match.

Let’s honour this beautiful act of kindness and find two of our teenage treasures the loving homes they deserve.

Get in touch to schedule a meeting.

Our School Holiday special of just $200 adoptions continues and we'd like to introduce you to the "U" litter. These teenagers were living in someone's backyard and are now enjoying the luxury of food security, soft beds and plenty of love and affection. We would love for them to find their happily ever after these school holidays.

All our cats and kittens have been desexed, microchipped, have had at least one vaccination and are up to date with flea and worm treatment. The adoption fee covers only a small part of the costs we have incurred caring for them. We rely on - and are immensely grateful for - donations to cover the shortfall.

To book an appointment to meet these teens fill out the form and we will be in touch soon: https://forms.gle/dSjZwqyV7XZhsMzbA

𝙐𝙞𝙠𝙞
Uiki is a sweet and gentle girl with a calm nature and a watchful eye, she loves to quietly observe everything happening around her. While she’s still learning to fully enjoy being held, she already adores chin scratches, body pats, and especially belly rubs. She’s a cuddle-in-the-making! Uiki gets along well with other cats and is comfortable around children and people alike. With plenty of love and a little patience, she’s sure to grow into a snuggly companion who will happily relax by your side and soak up all the affection you’re willing to give

𝙐𝙢𝙚𝙠𝙖
With her gentle eyes Umeka is a sweet and peaceful presence in any room. She’s the kind of cat who doesn’t need to be the center of attention, she’d rather quietly charm you from her favourite cozy spot until you come over. And when you do? You’ll be rewarded with her adorable belly rolls, gentle purrs and a deep appreciation for a good chin scratch (just don’t stop too soon—she’ll let you know!).
Umeka is quietly gaining confidence every day and while she’s not quite a lap cat yet, she’s well on her way. She’s already showing just how affectionate and trusting she can be, especially with people who move at her pace. She gets along beautifully with other cats and would be just as content in a home with feline companions as she would being your one-and-only. All she needs is a calm, steady environment and someone kind and patient to help her continue to bloom.

𝙐𝙠𝙮𝙤
Ukyo is a gorgeous wee soul who seems to have undergone a personality transplant when he lost his trouble nuggets. (neutered). He has gone from still a little weary of humans to essentially being a velcro kitten overnight. Now that he has figured out the whole "humans are friends" thing he will continue to grow in confidence. He's come such a long way and we know Ukyo will continue to blossom into the sweetest companion.

𝙐𝙯𝙚𝙠𝙞
Uzeki is a shy sweetheart with a soft spot for snuggles.
He’s not too fussed about toys, but give him a gentle pat and he’ll melt into it and if you’re one of his chosen humans, you might even earn the honour of a tummy roll! Uzeki is a certified lap-cat, often curling up like a cosy little donut and tucking his face under his paw for extra cuteness. He’d thrive in a calm home with someone patient who can help him grow in confidence. Underneath that shy exterior is a smoochy boy with so much love to give.
