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 all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Builder: Small to Medium Jobs

Bruce from Whole 9 Yards

The below phots - start to finish 7 working days. widened the cupboards, rebuilt insitue, new tops, paint and splash back.

During this past month I have performed many repairs, small building and upgrading jobs in several homes on the North Shore, my area work base. I’m a Sole Charge operation, all discussion and quoting, project management and product purchase, then doing the work myself.
I have a fellow builder mate to help on some of my jobs, between us we have at least 90 years experience, not bad for 2 guys. I’ve been swinging a hammer for over 5o years and Mike 40 years.
I specialise in small jobs, all those little things that should be adjusted, repaired or replaced and you keep putting off, simply because you don’t know how or where to get your maintenance brought up to scratch.


Please realise it’s way more cost effective to keep up to date with your maintenance than leave it and find that the original problem has now helped wear out something else. Now you have more than one piece to be fixed and subsequently, you guessed it, the job will cost more.
I don’t charge for my first visit, yes, Free. We can discuss your maintenance job be it big or small.
Feel free to contact me.
