Tabitha needs a new home
Tabitha was my mother's cat. Mum got her from the SPCA when she was 8 weeks old. She is now 14. Mum had to go into a rest home 6 months ago and Tabitha came to live with us. Things really aren't working out that well for her as we already have 2 cats and 3 dogs of our own and one of our dogs really likes to chase her. This is not what she deserves in her senior years.
I have always believed that Tabitha is part Siamese as she is very talkative and has a small/slim build. She is classed as a domestic short hair though and her coat is tabby/tortoiseshell and white. She is a very pretty girl with dark 'eyeliner' around her eyes.
Tabitha is a slightly nervous cat who likes to stay close to home. She led a very quiet life with my mother and needs to find another quiet loving home.
Tabby's new owner needs to be someone who is happy to give her her space until she feels happy and confident with you (she won't stay under the bed forever but it might be a week or so!). Once she realises you are kind and provide the food (and treats!) she will be a loving cat, who enjoys sitting next to you on the couch, sleeping on your bed and chatting to you a lot.
Tabitha is free and comes with her bed, dirt box, food and treats.
She will go to an approved home only and you will need to be prepared to keep in touch with us, initially anyway, so we can track her progress as she settles into her new home.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
82.9% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
17.1% No. This would be impossible in practice.
