Take Ross for example. He’s a Ryman resident who began his musical journey at the age of 65. His ‘no worries’ lifestyle has meant that ten years later, Ross plays in several bands and tours in different towns playing music on a guitar he made himself. A little certainty provides great reassurance in knowing you can pursue the things you love in retirement, without any worries.

But for many years, chunks of asphalt from the Sunset Beach car park have been falling onto the beach below, and houses which used to see only sand dunes, now have uninterrupted views of the sea as it crawls ever closer.
The old surf club and community hall had to be demolished as the ground crumbled into the sea, and some homes have been demolished or abandoned as they teeter too close to the sea.

As people get older, colds can become more severe and frequent because of the effect that aging has on the immune system. Older people also have more chance of developing respiratory tract infections such as RSV - a contagious virus that can cause serious respiratory illnesses like pneumonia.

Please put your feelers out and message me if you or anyone you know would be interested in giving her her forever home.
Probably best suited to a home either as the only cat, or with cats who are super chilled around other cats, and will just let her be.
She has no issues with kids, lives with dogs nearby but never lived in the same house as her. She is not a lap cat, but likes human contact, strokes, and a cosy spot or few in the house. Will have to be able to go outside.
I will provide further details to interested parties but trust me when I say she is a really super sweet girl, and would make a great pet and companion.
The Team at NZ Compare wish you a wonderful New Year!
Thank you for welcoming us into your Neighbourhood, we can't wait to help you compare what's out there in 2022.
Wishing you a Happy New Year and hope that you will celebrate the New Year in style with a glass of New Zealand Wine!
