We are also in need of a snare drum. We have several students who does not have the money for a new instrument and is missing out on the opportunity to learn because of this. If you have an instrument and are unsure if we could have use for it, please give me a shout. If you would like to get in touch, please email me at maestromusic1@outlook.com or phone 0210686834.
Thank you kindly,

Beautiful pure black male cat

Kimberley from Glen Eden

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 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.
