An update on Ada
Hi, you may remember me because I’ve been at the Haven (Upper Hutt Animal Rescue Society) for quite a while. I used to be one of the Colony Cats as I was rather shy, but for a while now I’ve been living in my own apartment in the Cattery. I’m learning some new social skills, so that one day I may be able to go out to live in a real home with gentle people who understand my special character.
A few weeks ago I had a sore mouth but after my dental treatment I’m feeling heaps better. (If you wish you can still help the humans pay for that at givealittle.co.nz...) I’m even getting quite cheeky about asking to be let out of my apartment....and even more cheeky about avoiding going back in!
Luckily most people here have a bit of a soft spot for me, so no one minds.
It would be great to meet you if you would like to drop in sometime to say “hello” at 4 King Charles Drive, Kingsley Heights, Upper Hutt.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
