Needing to rehome an adult cat.

Cathy from Manurewa

She has 'adopted' us, however she is giving our four cats a hard time. She is a lovely b&w approximately 4 to 6 years old. Since we have been feeding her she has put on weight and her fur has improved. We've taken her to our vet and she has been vaccinated and wormed. Her teeth were rotten and she had all her teeth removed at the end of April. She is now fully recovered but is still on a soft diet. She is spayed, so somebody loved her at some stage. We have had a couple of people move from the area about the time she arrived! We are calling her Squeex, due to her squeeky meow. She needs a loving home after what she has been through. Her nature with humans is friendly although does not like to be picked up and does not do laps at his stage. . Gives leg rubs and will come inside, accepts wearing a collar. Loves food. With the right older family where she is the only cat she would be a love-bug.
I want a loving home for her. Located in Manurewa.

French teen Eloi Rolland, who has been missing in Auckland since March 2020, told his family he wanted to bring them to New Zealand.

More than two years after his disappearance, his parents Thierry and Catherine Rolland have finally arrived from France.

They do not know what happened to their son, and they’re desperate for answers.

“We don’t know what’s happened,” Catherine said. “We realise he is perhaps in another place.”

But the couple remain hopeful that Eloi is alive and well and said they would always be there for him.
