Forever homes needed for 2 kittens π± π± and a mom cat π
I started fostering a pregnant stray cat since just b4 Christmas. She had 4 beautiful kittens and has proven to be the greatest mom still caring for them today. Iβve managed to find 2 forever homes for 2 of the kittens but still need to find forever homes for the other 2 and their mom. Iβm appealing to you neighbourly viewers hoping there are at least 3 compassionate cat lovers amongst the several thousand + members who could offer these guys their forever homes π‘
There are conditions as we donβt want to contribute to the alarming number of strays already roaming our region so who ever offers to open their homes and hearts will also need to open their wallets to pay for:
1. Neutering
2. Vaccinations
3 Continued Flea and worming treatment
* Sex unknown
A big ask but a necessity for responsible pet owners.
The 2 remaining kittens are almost four months old and ready to be rehoused. Because the mom was very protective they will need to be socialised properly as I could not bring them into our home with our existing 3 cats and dog. Nothing a couple of weeks forming a bond and developing trust wonβt fix.
The mom must of had a home at some stage as she is adorable and affectionate once you earn her trust.
So you amazing π€© animal lovers if you canβt personally offer a home then please appeal to your friends or loved ones who might find their forever cat π

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereβs a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need πͺπ°πͺ
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Helping local tradies stay on top of admin
Hi neighbours π
Iβm Ollie from Your Tradie Support, based here in Stratford and helping tradies across NZ with the admin side of running their business.
A lot of tradies are brilliant at the work itself but end up doing quotes, invoicing and paperwork late at night after being on the tools all day β thatβs where I help.
I donβt do bookkeeping β I help keep the day-to-day admin organised so everything runs smoother and easier.
If you know a local tradie whoβs drowning in paperwork or always behind on invoices, feel free to point them my way π
Always happy to chat and help where I can.
