Pet cats who have a home, food, warmth, love DON'T JUST DISAPPEAR. Personally I've had 5 cats vanish in the time I've been living here, aswel as a week stay at vets 4 one that returned home so sick, he's lucky 2still b alive. We had alot of strays having kittens couple yrs ago, & the visiting Tom's were out of control. Very sad 2C wat happens when responsibility of desexing isn't been done in time b4 young cats come in2 heat & having babies, were they can. I've found Afew litters of kittens on my door step at times & have always feed them, making it safe 4them & getting human contact, so they can b handled & taken 2 kitten Inn when old enough. Unfortunately on a couple of occasions, oneday there's 4 beautiful healthy kittens getting feed.... The next day GONE... never 2b seen again. I really want 2cry thinking about it. The last family a couple of yrs ago we kept a close eye on. Having help from daughter-in-law while she was helping at SPCA.... getting mother, son, daughter(who had kittens, now has been missing couple mths) all fixed & kittens went 2 kitten Inn.... No longer do we have Tom's crying.... Young female cats being raped & unwanted babies being homeless.... BUT OUR LOVED PET CATS R STILL VANISHING... As a cat owner 50ys I BLOODY WELL KNOW OUR CATS DON'T JUST LEAVE THEIR HOME & DISAPPEAR WITHOUT ANY TRACE. Even road kill leaves a body behind..... I have my own thorts as 2wat has happened 2them & even by whom in my direct neighbourhood.... Unfortunately there is nothing we can do 2protect our cats but keep them inside...
TO Cat Haters out there..... There r responsible cat owners out there, who dearly love the company of their feline friends & stress out when they don't come hm EVER.....,

They were put into foster care to have their kittens and also to get used to humans. They had seen humans, but had never been patted or cuddled. They had lived outside and never really got enough food. Well that changed in their foster homes. Lexie is one of those mums.
Lexi’s previous foster carer taught Lexie how to allow humans to pat her and to not be scared being around humans.
She went back to the Haven ready for adoption. But she really couldn’t cope with being up there and withdrew into her shell. So Lexie has gone to another foster home and what a change. She is fantastic. She loves to be patted and will come when you call (well sometimes – definitely if she wants food – ha ha). She loves her toys – and she loves all the other cats’ toys.
She wanders around the house and likes being in the room with the humans. She is ready for her forever home.
Although two young children (2 and 4 yrs) visited for a couple of weeks ago. The noise and running around was not Lexie’s idea of a good time. She would be better suited to a home with a couple, (or single person), and if there were children – they would need to be older children.
She has the softest meow – but loud purr and is adorable.
If you are interested in visiting Lexie, please call the Haven on 04-526 2672 and they can arrange a visit. She is currently being fostered in Lower Hutt.

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
