Beautiful pure black male cat
We would like to find a home for this wee fella. The vet reckons he's about 2 years old. He turned up at our place a few months ago and we've been feeding him so he's in pretty good shape. He's initially shy but warms up pretty fast. Tried to get him to the SPCA but was told that he would most likely get euthanized as they're overloaded with kittens. Sometime before he turned up at ours, he was neutered by the SPCA and then returned to our area (has the tell-tale snipped ear). We would dearly love to keep him but already adopted two strays in the past year.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
