Hello neighbours. Kiki the cat has been here with us at Scratch Pad Cattery for a couple of months now. Her human servants' circumstances have changed, and they can no longer be in her employ.

She is a beautiful cat, about 9 years old - a little shy but very sweet and affectionate. Would probably prefer the company of a more mature person who would enjoy giving her lots of attention and grooming . If you have space for this beautiful big girl in your life, please give us a call on 04 905 7723.

We all need to do our bit to protect waterways by always checking, cleaning, then drying any equipment that comes into contact with the water, between every waterway, every time.
