PENNY

Karen from Rangiora

PENNY Penny came to us when her owner could no longer care for her due to ill health. She is a lovely, smoochy girl, approx 15 months old. Small but with the longest tail! She would suit any home without small children or other cats as she does not care for them, we are unsure how she is with Dogs.… View morePENNY Penny came to us when her owner could no longer care for her due to ill health.

Lost or Found a cat?

I was born at this property and have been given a lot of love and attention as my mother taught me to be friendly to people. I still come over for a pat and scratch every time I see my owners and can be easily moved between paddocks as I would follow a bucket of sheep nuts without any hesitation. I have fathered quite a few lambs over this time and majority of them were twins. I am Texel X Gotland Pelt and I've got the most amazing white wool. The Gotland Pelt girls I have been with produced black lambs, but my lambs with Texel, Finn and other white coloured girls are white.
It is time for me to now move to another family as my owners are now running out of girls they can let me run with.
Please come and meet me if you are interested, my owners' contact is 027 276 2838.
