Kitten available for Adoption
Hi community,
I am a fosterer for Gutter kitties and have 1 kitten and a young mum available to adopt. There is Mummy cat (she is still really a kitten herself) and we called her Emmie who is believed to be 12 months old. She is very affectionate and a beautiful cat. Should be OK with other cats and kids. The other kitten still available is Robert, a little shy but the cutest boy that his gradually getting more affectionate and ok comng out of his shell. He would be more suited in a quieter home with older kids and possibly no other cats. They are both desexed and are ready for their furrever home.
Adoption fees for kittens under one year old are $150 each or $250 a pair. They come desexed, microchipped and registered, with first vaccinations (booster responsibility of new owner) and up to date with flea and worm treatments. Adoption fee covers just a portion of our costs and helps enable us to continue to rescue.
Our adoption process involves going round to the applicable foster home of those kittens you are interested in, meeting them and having a chat with the foster family. If you fall in love, would like to adopt and the foster family deems you a suitable match (terms and conditions apply), you then pay the adoption fee and fill in our adoption contract, we hold the kitten for you and you can collect a couple of days following their desex surgery. Kittens already desexed can go home sooner! We do not promise a first in first served type arrangement, there will be multiple people meeting them, as we want the best suitable forever home for our rescues which match their temperaments.
Please pm us if you would like to meet any of our rescues in this post and remember to check out our website for other beautiful babies, terrific teens and amazing adults! www.gutterkitties.co.nz...

π Christmas 2025 Holiday Pay - What You Need to Know π
π Christmas 2025 Holiday Pay - What NZ Employers Need to Know π
With Christmas fast approaching, itβs important to make sure your team is paid correctly over the holiday period - especially with holiday legislation changes on the horizon.
π Good news: For Christmas 2025, the current Holidays Act rules still apply.
Hereβs a simple breakdown π
β
Employees with 12+ months service
β’ Entitled to 4 weeks paid annual leave
β’ Pay the higher of:
π Ordinary Weekly Pay or Average Weekly Earnings
π Full-time example
β’ 8 hrs/day Γ 5 days = 40 hrs/week
β’ $1,200 per week = $240 per leave day
π Part-time example
β’ 3 hrs/day Γ 4 days = 12 hrs/week
β’ $300 per week = $75 per leave day
β
Employees with less than 12 months service
β’ Not yet entitled to annual leave
β’ If your business closes down over Christmas, they must still be paid holiday pay for the closedown period (usually paid via payroll accruals or 8% of gross earnings under current law)
π Christmas & New Year Public Holidays
β’ Christmas Day (25 Dec)
β’ Boxing Day (26 Dec)
β’ New Yearβs Day (1 Jan)
βοΈ If the day is a normal working day, employees are paid for it
βοΈ If they work on a public holiday:
β‘οΈ Time and a half + an alternative paid day off
π Important β Changes Coming
The Holidays Act will eventually be replaced by a new Employment Leave Act, moving to hours-based leave accrual and simplified calculations.
β οΈ These changes are not in force yet, so Christmas 2025 still follows current rules.
