Stolen cat

Kc from Nawton

Looking for help and advice. I am looking after a family members cat while they are overseas (it's their young daughters actually). Anyway, my neighbour has in effect 'stolen' the cat, it started with it going missing for a couple of days, we went looking for it, then I saw a child who was visiting her house come out holding the cat. My husband and I went over and spoke to her about it and she all but made out that she would be keeping him. I explained to her that it belongs to my family member and said it would be going back home (out of town) on their arrival back in NZ. She basically said she would keep feeding it if she saw it which we said well no now you know its got a home (which I am sure she knew already) please don't encourage it. So then it was coming back home then all of a sudden its gone again, she keeps locking it in her house. My husband went over there tonight to talk to her again and reminded her that we are looking after it and it will be going back to its owners and she told him no that it wouldn't be it was hers now! So what can I do??

He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?

Some Choice News!

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!

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s not quite the seven wonders of the ancient world, but the seven warehouses of the Ruakura Superhub are promising big things.

The new addition close by the inland port on the outskirts of the city will augment the numerous multi-million dollar investments already there.
