Otis and Odin 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Rescued in the heart of winter, these boys are nearly identical in both looks and personality — like two ebony peas in a perfectly furry pod.

They’re naturally cautious around new people but once you’ve earned their trust they’ll welcome you into their world of affection, a great fondness of food, and night time zoomies.

Fairness is a must in their world, if one is getting attention or treats, the other will be expecting equal love 🖤

In balance, their relationship is the perfect mix of sibling rivalry and devotion. They might be wrestling one moment, and the next, you'll find them snuggled together or chirping in unison at the birds outside.

Don’t be surprised if they follow you from room to room like two silent, mischievous shadows — especially if the path leads to the kitchen….

Otis and Odin will do best in home together, with mature/gentle children, patience, and a sunny spot to nap ☀️

If you can offer our boys this please message the page 😊

We’ve had many people reach out to adopt a kitten to add to the family but we strongly suggest that if you’re looking for a companion for an existing cat to please consider a teen!

🐈 They’re young enough to adapt quickly
🫶 Often drawn to the company of mature cats
😻 And a great balance of independent/attentive

Featured is Luke, now Scout, cuddling his new BFF Minnie (also a past Moggie).

‘It just happened and has all worked out 😇 if they’re not snuggling they’re play fighting like crazy. Both are very entertaining. He’s just the best addition to our little fam.’

We couldn’t of asked for a better home for them both, thank you for sharing guys 💕

🚨 Scammers be Scamming 🚨

If you see this gentleman slide into your DMs please don’t entertain the audacity he has to ‘sell’ you underage kittens on behalf of the rescue 👎

Nope. It’s a scam.

Unfortunately we live in an age where a digital disguise and advertising on the right platform is enough to play a convincing argument for many who are not tech savvy.

Please, if something seems off, ask a friend, or contact the official channel you’re trying to reach outside of Facebook - try emailing, calling, or a contact form on their website.

And as a few key notes of our Adoption Process:

⏰We don’t typically adopt under 10/12 weeks.

💰 We don’t accept online payments other than a direct transfer into the official Moggies account.

🐱 No adoptions are made BEFORE meeting the kitten/cat in question. Our adoptions are fit over face!

Lastly, if you see Jamie around please report him to the Facebook Moderators - impersonating a charity is a pretty 💩 thing to do.

Fitz who sits is still looking for his perfect home 🏡

✨ Feature Adoption ✨

Desexed: Yes
Microchipped: Yes
Vaccination: 1st
Age: 20 weeks
Location: Bethlehem

Hi I’m Fitz 👋

And I Sits!

On your bed
In your wardrobe
Ontop of your laundry
and for the right person, on your lap 👌

I have great recall, love chasing my tail, highly rate pats and…. may identify as a dog 🤷‍♀️ although I have a solid purr and LOVE following my big foster sister around 🐈‍⬛

Overall, I’m a sweet wee lil man who’s on the quiet side and will appreciate a home that has patience to see my potential ❤️

I would do best in a mature household where my quirks are celebrated and my b***y is free to grace whatever soft surfaces take my fancy 🤞

Carriers on doorsteps, banana boxes at intersections and 5 week olds hitch hiking on the side of a highway - so far this week we’ve taken in three sets of kittens whose lives were left to chance.

There’s no need to take the risk. We can offer them a safe space.

No judgement.
No angry publication.
A plan for mum and support with food if you need it.

For kittens this vulnerable we have fosterers and vet care at the ready.

Tell your friends, family and neighbours this doesn’t have to be their story.

Please note that these kittens have a long journey ahead of them and we are not taking expressions of interest for their adoption 🐱

The Monday Mews 📰🐱

** FAQs and Answers **

Question: We’re based in Auckland and saw your listing. Can we pick a kitten up on our way through?

Answer: We encourage adoptions locally so recommend contacting rescues closer to home.

Why?

🚗 Transport can be stressful for cats, the shorter the trip, the happier the cat!

⏰ If an adoption doesn’t work out, wherever possible we’ll take our past moggies back into care or help with the rehoming process.

🫶 Many rescues do more than just adopt cats and kittens. Often they help to desex animals in their communities, subsidise vet appointments, and support struggling families with pet food.

For this reason, we’re big fans of adoption fees going into the communities the kittos came from.

********************************************

The Monday News is a weekly column where we use examples of FAQs with the intention of broadening the public understanding of what we do as a privately run rescue✌️

✨ Community Rehome ✨

Desexed: Yes
Microchipped: Yes
Vaccination: Current
Age: approx 5 years
Location: Welcome Bay

Millie is looking for a cozy, quiet life as a solo or indoor cat 🐈‍⬛

Originally rescued as a stray and taken in by the rescue, she has been living the farm life with a family who’s adored her these past months. However due to conflict with one of their existing cats, they feel it’s in her best interests that she finds a new home.

What they have to say about her is:

Millie is very smoochy and affectionate - she LOVES her cuddles and snuggling up with her people in the evenings.

During the day, she adores sleeping in the sun and watching the birds 😊 She isn't a hunter, and is happy to lazily stare at the these feathered friends from afar.

Millie is an old soul with a sensitive nature and can be wary until she knows you.

Her ideal home is somewhere she can feel safe from other cats, or a home where she can live inside.

If you’re interested in meeting this beautiful lady please message on Larisa 027 2402818 😊

🏡 Rehoming 🏡

While as a rescue we advocate for adopting an animal with a lifetime commitment, we understand many people come to rehoming for complex reasons.

If you feel you have exhausted other avenues, and feel it is in their best interests, when reaching out please do so with these points in mind.

✅ Where we can help

👉 Connect you with our Rehoming Guide
✍️ Help you write an adoption post
📍 Offer suggestions on platforms to start advertising
📷 Edit photos
🏡 Share tips to help transition pets into a new home!

❌ What we can’t do

🐱Take your animal under the care of the rescue
📣 Advertise your pet on our rescue page*
☝️Take control of the rehoming process on behalf

*all other avenues we use for rehoming are accessible to the public. Due to the sheer volume of rehoming requests we receive, we’ve landed on a focus of advertising only elderly cats on our page.

It’s a been a hard year for many and a particularly difficult time for our friends at The Pet Food Bank.

Despite the blows they’ve been dealt, they’ve risen to each occasion with the goodwill, honesty and integrity they show everyone who crosses their path.

In this latest hurdle their roof was damaged by the heavy rains and the money they raised for the repair has been ‘misplaced’ by the tradie hired to do the job 😞

We’re absolutely guttered for our friends.

Understandably so, they’ve reached their tether and are putting a hold on operations until a plan is in place.

If the work they do is meaningful to you, or you’ve ever been given a hand up and are now in a position to help, please show them the community has their back too 💕

Help vulnerable animals in the Bay of Plenty community and show our local legends that we have their backs too!

Adoption trial 🤞

✨ Feature Adoption ✨

Desexed: Yes
Microchipped: Yes
Vaccination: Both core vaccinations
Age: 4 months
Location: Te Puke

Luke 💕

We first meet Luke precariously perched on top of a sack of kindling in a woodshed. We knew he was born as a stray to a roaming queen, and as the nights were getting colder, that he had the best chance of survival in care.

Luke had a lot to say about being trapped so we assumed we were in for a lesson in perseverance 😬 But we were happily corrected - he was actually the sweetheart!

He decided on his first night in the rescue that his new bed, hot water bottle and butler were a much better deal 😉

Fast track to a few months down the line and we’re surprised to see he’s still with us.

In his foster home he’s affectionate, gets on great with the resident fur kids (both cats and dog) and loves his toys! All considering, he’s a catch ✨

As Luke tends to take his time when it comes to new people, we feel he would best suit a mature household or one who appreciates the deepest loyalty is earnt.

We’re confident Luke will be an amazing addition to the right family and are happy to run an adoption trial let his true potential shine!
