Cat often found at our house, always wants pats. Hoping it has a home? Very skinny and fur is a bit worse for wear. Could just be old?

"I am a big lover of all things treats and cuddles, and will win you over the first chance I get! My brother and I haven't had the best life before arriving at the SPCA but have since had a bit of a makeover and are feeling better as each day passes. We love having the human companionship and comfort of home life but it doesn't compare to the real thing! Now is the time where we are ready to find a home who is committed to dog ownership and all it involves. I am not suited to a home with cats or smaller animals. I would prefer a home either with my brother Preston or by myself. If I do go home by myself, I'd want someone home part time or full time. I am not keen on places like dog parks or daycare. To be honest, the perfect day would be a nice walk then lazing at home! I'm more comfortable with adults or teenage children than little humans."

It is unique to NZ and has attracted a lot of interest from overseas.
Who knew? Well, we do now, since Sergeant Karen Vaughan addressed us last evening. She is the police prosecutor in the Porirua District Court, following a career in which she was involved in a string of high-profile cases, including child abuse and family violence.
The pilot stems from unease among some judges that young offenders’ lives can become blighted after they are convicted of relatively minor offences. Cognitive development is not complete until age 25 or so, and many offenders in the youth court have just been thoughtless or foolish. They could, with help, go on to lead productive lives. The key is to discharge them without conviction under section 106, under certain conditions.
The offenders must be under 25, and agree to a follow a personal plan which might involve education, training (eg defensive driving), counselling, and community work.
The rationale is that intervention, prevention, and integration back into the community benefits everyone.
The pilot has been running for over 2 years, during which time there have been 500 cases in the pilot programme, and recidivism is less than 1%.
We should follow the fortunes of this pilot closely. It is an alternative to the ‘lock ‘em up’ policy which often finds popular support in NZ, and if it works across the board, we will all profit by it.
