A stray cat in Cruickshank rd

Steve from Clouston Park - Kingsley Heights

Has been hanging around for about a month at the top of Cruickshank rd. Small to median fluffy cat with two tone grey back, complete white underbelly and I think white front legs along with a very fluffy tail.

Small to median fluffy cat with two tone grey back, complete white underbelly and I think white front legs along with a very fluffy tail. This is a basic description as nobody can get near it so I have only seen it about 20mtrs away. It may even belong to someone up this way but its very happy when it gets a feed. Cheers
and have a great day

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
