Kia ora neighbours, he was once Wellington’s most famous feline, but now Mittens the cat is settling into his new life in Tāmaki Makaurau.

The Turkish angora is known for wandering far and wide around the streets of Wellington – entering offices and homes, getting in cars, even sleeping on tables of folded T-shirts in Cuba St clothing stores – but his human servant Silvio Bruinsma said so far Mittens was sticking close to home in Auckland.

Known as His Royal Floofiness, Mittens and his family made the move to Auckland city at the start of January, and while his exact location is kept a secret, Bruinsma said he’s living in the central city.

Kia Ora Neighbours!
My name is Arthur and I am putting a post on here as I am wanting to gain traction in the environmental engineering field.

I am looking for an opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge and skills in this field through a paid role.

I attained a bachelors degree in Environmental Engineering in Brazil, and did further studies in NZ doing post grad in Business Management. I am fluent in English both verbal and written.

I have a lot to offer and am just needing an opportunity to arise for me to follow my passion. I have chosen NZ to be my home and would love to contribute in protecting and improving our environment/whenua.

Any offers or advice would be much appreciated. I have a CV and cover letter if you would like any further information.
