Demi:
This beautiful grey tortie is the most loving and curious little girl! Not even the vacuum can frighten her off! She is playful, friendly and loves a cuddle. We have raised her with our little old dog and other cats that she adores snuggling with. She would get along in a house with young children as she doesn’t mind being picked up or getting kisses on her face. She loves to play and will chase toys across the floor for hours. Demi came to us very young, so she likes to suckle on fluffy blankets and has even tried to suckle on Zach the dog! As a boy, it hasn’t quite worked but he still loves her. Loves playing outside especially in the leaves at this time of year.
Eddie:
This chatty little ginger boy is the life of our house. This is the kitten for you if you want a lap cat to snuggle up to in the evenings. As soon as you start petting him, he starts purring and won’t stop! He came to our house with our little grey tortie Demi and loves to curl up with her or our little old dog Zach for a sleep. His swirly patterned coat is stunning, and we would love to see him go to a couple that can give him the love and attention he needs. He has always had someone around the house and would be great for someone who is working from home. He does not like to be picked up and prefers to come across for cuddles on his own terms as he is still learning, so would suit older children. However, given time he will settle in well anywhere! Boy has he got an amazing motor.
If at all possible, we would love to see them go to the same home. As you can see from our photos, they love each other, groom each other, and call for each other to come play. They have both grown up with our old dog, multiple older cats, and other foster kittens; so are friendly with other animals. They are both inquisitive and will sneak into any butter left unattended!

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)

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
