Gremlin has made an incredible transformation. Earlier this year he was picked up by the Wellington SPCA with severe ringworm, which made all his hair fall out, and left his skin itchy and raw.
Gremlin’s condition had been untreated for some time so a treatment plan was put in place to help Gremlin heal and ease his pain.
After weeks in hospital and in the isolation unit, and months in foster care, Gremlin is a completely different kitten!
He has now found his forever family who have renamed him Van.
It is short for the word Vanir – the Norse word for magician - in recognition of the transformation he has made

Our Feathered Friend this week is the red-crowned parakeet/kākāriki.
The photos are from Rosa Marie who took her camera to Zealandia to see one only of the only mainland populations in New Zealand.
Although they are widely distributed throughout the New Zealand region, and are very common on some islands, they are almost entirely absent from the two main islands.
One exception is Wellington, where birds from Zealandia and Matiu/Somes Islands are occasionally seen in suburban gardens.

Wellingtonians are facing a massive increase in rates. Increasing costs have forced the council to look at a 23 per cent increase.
Mayor Andy Foster recently said the forecast increase looked “horrific”, and was likely to be more than 15 per cent. That would be the largest increase for residential ratepayers since 1995-96, when rates went up 16 per cent.
The increase has been attributed to the loss of income due to the Covid lockdown, the cost of replacing infrastructure, the library upgrade and Let's Get Wellington Moving.
