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?

Hi neighbours. I'm looking to chat to some people about their religion for a project to be published in the Sunday Star-Times. The story will examine the role of religion and faith in New Zealand, and how it has changed over the last few decades.

Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?

I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.
