This weeks SPCA Pet of the Day is Scarlett the cat.

"I have come such a long way from the scared frightened little kitten found on a farm with my sister. I am now looking for a wonderful home where I can continue learning about this big wide world.
I will be quite worried in a new environment, so I will need an understanding family who is willing to give me the time to adjust. I would benefit from someone being around for parts of the day or another like-minded cat for company. I try to be brave and once I know you, I will really enjoy your company. I will just need time to get to know you. I really love the attention I get from my caregivers, so I know that in time, I will get to really appreciate you too."

Whittaker’s has turned the chocolate world upside down with its new innovative new Peanut Butter and Jelly 250g Block.
Whittaker’s co-chief operating officer, Holly Whittaker, says having more than one filling in a block is a first for Whittaker’s and something a bit different from the way other chocolate flavour combinations are produced.
Recently named the Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand for the tenth consecutive year, Whittaker’s also celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. It will be available for a limited time only in supermarkets nationwide from Monday June 21.
Are you going to try it and are there any other flavours you would like to see combined into one block?

Plans for a kākāpō paradise in the hills behind Wainuiomata are proceeding, but the future of the sanctuary rests in the balance. The issue is funding.
If funding could be found, “it would be a biodiversity asset with national significance”, Greater Wellington Regional councillor Thomas Nash, chairman of the council’s climate committee, said in a meeting on the sanctuary yesterday.
The Wainuiomata Mainland Island Sanctuary, proposed by the regional council, would encompass 3310 hectares of native bush behind the suburb of Wainuiomata. Once fenced, it would create a home that would be ideal for kākāpō, thanks to a rare abundance of mature rimu trees, along with hihi (stitchbird) and rowi kiwi.
