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

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. If we can help we will! 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 kittens 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

When the 7-week-old foster kittens discover there is more than one level to their new playground you can expect a few things to be knocked to the ground. It's a good thing Dash and Dixie are so cute so they're easily forgiven for their antics.

Wee Bentley, is the runt of the litter of the 4 "orphaned" kittens being raised by adoptive mama Rosemary is putting on all the charm. He holds a very special place in his foster mum's heart.

Who said that cats and dogs don't get along? These are the A - babies that will be desexed next week. There's obviously a lot of love between them and their doggy foster brothers. These kittens have grown up in a very hectic household with lots of kids, goats, other cats and dogs obviously.
We will start contacting people on our waiting list shortly after their surgeries to arrange adoption meetings.

After a very quiet start to the kitten season things have accelerated exponentially in the last couple of weeks and we're currently drowning in kittens, some with their mum and some without. These are the "C-babies", in foster care with their mama Cleo. They are about 3.5 weeks old and are just starting to explore their surroundings. Still super clumsy and utterly adorable. Wouldn't you want to just lie on the floor and let them walk all over you?

Just a little update on the M babies. Mama Marika was recently spayed and her offspring Mischief, Mayhem and Moxie are doing very well. This lucky little family have truly landed with their bum in the butter because their foster family foster failed two of their family members last season so they're not just being looked after by their mama but also by an auntie and an uncle! How is that for serendipity.

It's a life, not a gift

As magical as the idea might seem, gifting a kitten on Christmas morning can create more heartbreak than joy. Behind the excitement that a playful kitten brings lies a tiny life depending on us for love, patience, time and care every single day, long after the tree comes down and the decorations are packed away.

Kittens need stability, gentle routines, vet visits, safe spaces and humans who are truly ready for the years of love and responsibility that follow. Having a pet is a long term commitment, both emotionally and financially. A surprise pet often ends up unwanted, neglected, rehomed or surrendered when the reality sets in.

If you’re thinking about adding a furry friend to your family make it a thoughtful choice, at the right time, when everyone is prepared to commit to the beautiful, messy, joyful journey of raising a cat. A pet isn’t a present, it’s a promise. And every kitten deserves to start their life in a home that’s ready for them, not just excited for a moment.

Dumping a litter of kittens is never ok. Based on where these two babies were found we think they may have been dumped. Thankfully they're no longer being chased by dogs and won't have to scavenge for food anymore and will be provided with lots of quality food and medical care. They're only about 7-8 weeks old. Please if you are struggling with an unwanted/unexpected litter reach out to us or any of the other rescues and we will happily step in and take care of the babies and rehome them when ready and get the mama desexed and returned to you if that's what you want. Leaving vulnerable little ones to fend for themselves is just cruel.
Traps are still out to try and catch potential siblings and the mother.

**"WAITING LIST***
Please be patient we are all still very busy growing.

We have had a large number of enquiries from people wanting to adopt one or more kittens. If you have filled in an expression of interest to adopt please rest assured that we will make contact when we have kittens currently in our care ready for their forever families. When you're at the top of our waiting list we will match you with those kittens in our care that we think will be best suited for you to meet based on the information you have provided on the form. We will then contact you to make an appointment to meet with those kittens we think will suit your situation best. We do NOT allow adoptions based on looks alone because we really want to find the best homes for these babies and make sure that you are happy too. During your adoption meeting we will see which kitten or kittens respond to you to ensure the best fit.
We currently have 19 kittens in our care of varying ages plus 3 adults with more coming in now almost daily. Most of these still have a lot of growing to do before they are old enough to be desexed. Please be patient, they will be worth the wait.
If you'd like to join our waiting list just fill out the form below.

There's never a dull moment when you have kittens in the house especially with four of them! Ash, Albie, Amira and Arrow do not like to be contained, at all. They protest loudly when they are contained in their crate so their foster family has no choice but to run with the chaos and they are running amok in their home 24/7. Trying to tidy up after them is futile because it just turns into another game for them. This awesome four-some will be desexed in a couple of weeks and all going well should then be ready for their "meet and greet" not long after.

Just a box of fluffies to brighten your day. How can you resist faces like these?

Just a little quick share to let you know that our little "B"- babies are doing great thanks to their beautiful surrogate mum Rosemary. We are so proud of her and how incredibly protective she is of these little ones. They are steadily gaining weight and their foster family feels very privileged to be a part of their beautiful story.

Ash, Amira, Albie and Arrow have moved to their new foster home and it is safe to say they are what we call being "bomb proofed" for their future forever homes. They are currently being looked after in a busy household with teenagers other cats and dogs. Their foster mum told us that yesterday she came home from work to 9 teenagers in the lounge with the boys pillow fighting, the dogs barking and all four kittens amongst the chaos being passed around, with one even asleep in a girl's hoodie.
I guess it's safe to say that these babies will make a wonderful addition to anyone's family once they have grown enough and are already for their "meet and greets".
