Urgent Barn Homes and Fosters needed.
Felines looking for a country home, ready to give the rodents in your barn or stable a little exercise (shall we say).
We are trying to help cats in an area where business owners are against TNR (concerned re hygeine certificate as food providers), and have already shot a lot of cats. We are trying our best to convince them, but it is not going well. The cats lives are at stake! All appear to have been pets at one stage but dumped and abandoned and as a result being forced to live wild, and they have lost trust of people.
All are spayed or neutered, microchipped, registered and Health checked. . All they ask of you is at least one meal of cat food and a bowl of fresh water each day - they'll take care of their own snacks and dessert! Our barn buddies will need to be sequestered in a contained environment for about 2- 3 weeks so that they come to know their new home - but they come equipped and we can gladly explain all.
We also Desperately need foster homes in the Kapiti area, especially for the those that can be easier socialised. Please read about fostering below www.forgottenfelines.org.nz... fill out our foster form , if you can help by fostering forms.gle...
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
