Another kitten caught in our garden this afternoon, likely a sibling of the one caught earlier. Luckily for this kitten its ears are intact though!

FOUND: Tabby kitten, under 1 year old. Appears to be semi-wild, missing parts of both ears probably to frostbite. Unable to check for chip or gender yet.

I've had a couple of glimpses of a fleeing kitten from our garden the last few days and set the traps. Tonight we were successful and the kitten is now safe and warm inside.

What shall we call our little half-eared kitty?

Georgie is hard at work making biscuits in her bed. All her siblings have found homes now and she's wondering if there's a special somebody out there for her too.
Georgie is the smallest of the litter and is rather insecure. She needs a lot of attention but isn't keen on other cats much, although she was fine with slightly younger kittens and her siblings. Dogs are quite scary for her and young children are best avoided.
We are in no hurry to move Georgie on and will wait for the right home for her.

FOUND: Adult ginger tabby was trapped on a Nireaha Road, Eketāhuna property yesterday. No microchip. Not friendly but calm in crate, definitely not feral. In good physical condition but will not allow itself to be handled so cannot tell if male or female.
Temporarily named Pumpkin, if this is your cat they have been given to us now to care for and we will hold for at least 7 days while we make enquiries to try to find the owner.

Rescue cats and kittens seeking loving homes:

Buddy:
Male, black, approx 2 years old.
A TNR barn cat for most of his life, Buddy made the switch to being a smoochy inside boy in literally a day. He's used to lots of other cats and is okay with dogs if they're gentle. He is learning a few new social skills, such as not to smooch so hard that he gives you a black eye, the laundry tub is not a second litterbox and the vacuum will not eat him. He will grab your hand and lick you hard so small children are not recommended for him.

Daisy:
Female, tabby/tortie, approx 2-3 years old.
Daisy was a young mother with lots of kittens before she was given to us. Now she's fixed and able to enjoy playtime for herself without pesky little ones always around. She's very vocal and sassy, not suitable for small children as she likes to playbite. Other cats and dogs are a firm no - she will fly at them. Daisy needs plenty of climbing and playing equipment to prevent boredom. She is most likely a good hunter.

Frida, Georgie & Carmen:
All female, approx 8 months old. Carmen is black, Frida and Georgie are tabbies. Frida has the distinctive twin-line patten in her back stripe, Georgie's is more spotty.
3 sisters who are all playful, affectionate and friendly. Georgie is the most talkative and has opinions, Frida is the first in line for food, and Carmen is a snugglebug always looking for a lap. They would be suitable for gentle children and can be adopted as singles or in any pair combination. They are curious towards other cats and dogs but haven't had much exposure to them yet.

An adoption fee of $100 per cat applies, or $150 for a bonded kitten pair.
All cats and kittens come desexed, microchipped, up to date flea and worm treatment and have received at least one vaccination.
Location is South Tararua but transport can be discussed for most North Island regions.
When messaging, please tell us about yourself, your home, family, other pets and why you want to adopt this cat. We ask questions to ensure it's the right fit for all. 😊

I was taking a kitten to its new home today when I saw a post on a local page, "Free kitten".
Free kittens often fall into the wrong hands and without proper vet checks and desexing before adoption, they are at great risk.
Luckily for wee Shadow, I was quick enough to respond to the ad and she is now safe at home with us.
Welcome, Shadow! You'll be off to the vet for a check up next week and in time you'll be up for adoption.

Recently I was asked to take in 4 kittens. I persuaded the owner to let me arrange desexing for their mother and one of her previous sons who they'd kept.
Today I dropped off the mother cat and her son at the vet.
The mother cat is pregnant with her FOURTH litter. Yes, fourth litter and she's only TWO years old!
She has produced approximately 12 kittens already and as they were given away unfixed, chances are they've gone on to breed too.
PLEASE DESEX YOUR PETS!

Where's my home? Do I have a home? I got caught in a trap and the people said I might be wild and were talking about shooting me. 😢
I'm just scared and don't know what's happening.
I'm a big entire grey boy, not microchipped. I've been told I'm safe now and if nobody comes to collect me within 7 days then I'll be desexed, chipped and put up for adoption.

Welcome to Buddy! He's a farm cat who was trapped by a neighour trying to catch a different cat.
Already TNR'd. Surprisingly friendly and after discussing with his owners it was decided that he should have a chance at home life.
He'll be vet checked soon to make sure he's healthy and good to go. In the meantime, expressions of interest are welcome if you are interested in adopting Buddy.

Congratulations to Bubbles who moved into her forever home today! 🥳
