- Giving priority to emergency, critical care and maternity.
- Still providing some essential outpatient clinics such as cancer and dialysis treatments.
- Contacting all patients whose operations or clinic appointments are affected by the strike.

LUNA IS MISSING, $$$ OFFERED

Kylie from Rototuna

Do you have kids on school holidays that could search your property thoroughly for a cat hiding under a building or bush or in sheds?

Have you seen Luna lurking around your house or maybe stealing your cats food or trying to move in as your new pet?

Have friends, family or neighbours recently adopted an adult cat that looks like Luna?

Has a cat resembling Luna hitched a ride in your vehicle from the Rototuna area and jumped out at another destination?

Luna has gone missing from Rototuna in Hamilton on Wednesday 25/09/2024.

She is desexed and microchipped and will be 3 years old in November.

She was a bit on the chubby side at the time she disappeared but may have lost condition since her disappearance depending on her circumstances.

Luna is very loved and deeply missed, we just want her back home with us where she belongs.

You can either text me on 027 898 0888, PM on Facebook Messenger or respond to this post, and I will make contact 😊
