Looking for a kind home for a sick cat

Tatiana from Birkdale

Dear neighbours,
we are looking for a kind person who is willing to take our cat and look after him. His name is Dipley, 4 years old, desexed, recently had a flea treatment and de-wormed.
We've been looking after Dipley for the last 2 years but a month ago he became very sick and lost a lot of weight. He needs to follow a prescription diet as he is diagnosed with Crohn's disease and cannot digest common food. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide poor Dipley with a necessary environment for recovery as he is very shy of our other 3 animals (dogs and a cat) and as a result does not eat as much as he needs. We are worried that his condition is worsening. If you have time, patience and love for animals and can take Dipley to your home and look after him, we will be very grateful. Dipley is a very gentle big black cat, however not a lap cat and very shy. He will let people he trusts to pat him. His follow up vet's appointment is due in a week time that we are willing to pay.
My phone number is 0211785166.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
