Desperately Wanting To Adopt Two Sibling Kittens
Dear Neighbourly Neighbours,
As you will see my recent posts, I tragically had to say HAERE RA /farewell to my beloved elderly feline Precious who was not only one of my grown up children's favourite pets but also my companion over the lockdown period.
Both my son and daughter now live elsewhere and when they visit me they always comment on how unnaturally quiet and still (apart from me) the whare has become.
I really want to adopt two sibling kittens or slightly older sibling cats if anyone knows of any? I am happy to have them microchipped etc if they are not.
There are very few kittens/cats at the SPCA/adoption on line sites at the moment. There are NONE in any of the pet stores I have visited.
Does anybody know of anyone selling kittens?

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!
