DO YOU KNOW THESE KITTENS!
GOOD NEWS. 5 DAYS LATER THE 5th KITTEN IS BACK WITH ITS SIBLINGS. Just in time before the rain came.
To The Kitten Owner
Who, after caring (using that term loosely) for your 5? kittens for about 8 weeks decided to dump them in a bushy corner of Normandale Road.
(Apologies if these kittens were actually 'lost' but the nature of where we are finding them, we came to the conclusions they were recently dumped. They have been supplied food in the bush and cared for once they have been caught and can now be found at the Petone vets.)
Back to the first assumption.
For the time it took you to drive up Normandale road, you could have dropped them at the vets /pet shop or a local cat rescue and that would be the end of the story.
But nooooo.
Instead you chose to dump them!
You disrupted 5 people's dinner that night that cared enough for your kittens to go home and eat at 10pm before heading back out to try to catch some more of your kittens.
Now 8 different people over 2 nights and days so far have been trying to catch them.
We had a lovely resident supply cat food at 10pm at night after we caught the first 2 (they were starving), plus a late night trip to the supermarket for kitty litter and more food supplies.
Some of the people aren't even cat lovers that are looking for your kittens. They like animals and don't want to risk a kitten becoming feral in an environment we share with a lot of native bird and lizard life, or it becoming a Tom cat and annoying the neighbours family cats.
4 very friendly kittens have now been caught and dropped down to the Petone Vet clinic where they will get the love and care needed before being rehomed.
We are pretty sure at least one kitten still remains in the bush.
Next time, please think of others and your kittens and take them to a proper place to rehome.
Kind regards
Residents of Normandale Road.

Public Transport fares face 70% increase..
Wellington region users says increases to public transport fares of more than 70 percent would be "ludicrous", and would lead to them working from home more often, or taking the car rather than the bus.
