Free to a good home - if you can catch him and domesticate him, he is all yours - he is gradually becoming tamer. =D

UPDATE: PHOTOS - Photo 1: Black Boy Cat. Photo 2: Black Boy Cat. Photo 3: Black Boy Cat is on the left, and his Mama Cat is on the right. =D
My cleaning customer not far from me here in my suburb of Te Atatu South, has a rather handsome, healthy, thick-furred adult black boy cat hanging round his house. My customer said he was thinking of having him put down! I said no - it'd be a shame to put him down - he's so beautiful and healthy! This black boy cat is the son of my customer's now-desexed, formerly stray female cat he's adopted - he is quite a bit larger than his mum already, but still tries to hide behind her when we come near! My customer will get a photo of this black boy cat when he can. =D We think the boy cat is desexed (one of his neighbours may have had the cat desexed, but we don't think she or anybody actually owns him - he is rather skittish but will eat cat biscuits left out). He is becoming gradually less and less afraid of humans, he even sat on the deck a couple of metres away (with the sliding door closed), watching me vacuum the lounge, and he hangs around his mum (who just came in for a pat today - she's become a lot tamer already, and may be teaching him that humans are ok) a lot, so I think there is hope that he could become a good pet. =D

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
