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.....,

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

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.
