After 3 weeks, Darcy has been found!!
EDIT:
Darcy has been found tonight and was handed into Straven Road vets!!
He is skin and bones, but apparently ok, just settling down now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the kind person who took him to the vet!
And also thank you to everyone who has kept an eye out for him and had kind words for me when I was searching.
You are wonderful people!
I will take the posters around the neighbourhood down in the next few days.
Wishing everyone a night as good as mine!
Tanja
Kia ora!
My buddy Darcy forgot to come home four nights ago. We recently moved to Pūriri Street. He is a black and white tom and about 17 years old now. He can get frightened and disoriented and needs medication for his heart. If you see him around, please get in touch.
He has no collar but is microchipped.
My number is 021 024 44478.
Here is my listing on lostpet.co.nz:

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
