Cat adoption
Hello,
My Dad lives in Welcome Bay and sadly had to say goodbye to his 14yr old beloved cat last month.
He is now ready to welcome a new cat into his life.
I have contacted local rescues but thought I'd post here just to see if someone needs to re-home a cat.
My Dad is 88yrs old and is looking for a 8-9yr plus, social, indoor cat that loves cuddles and enjoys curling up on his lap having a nap while he also has a nap, sunbathing on a bed or having the occasional puree kisses treat.
He has always had oriental breeds but is completely open to any short haired cat.
No kittens or cats that zoom around as although he's good for his age don't want him falling over a zooming cat and breaking anything.
Cat must be desexed and microchipped and up to date with vaccinations with proof of this.
I'm back in Tauranga, as I'm in the middle of moving, 25-26th November so we could come and meet potential new family member.
If for any reason my Dad becomes unwell and is unable to care for his new cat, it is understood that I will bring the cat into my home in Wellington to live with hubby, myself and our 5yr old female spoiled cat.

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
