"This is Sam, our nine weeks old, rescue kitten now living in Waikanae.
Kittens are supposed to sleep for 18 to 20 hours a day....I think Sam needs a new clock as he never sleeps anywhere close to this and seems to spends all day running round at top speed!"

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Tatiana

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Tatiana was a really timid girl who has really come out of her shell since finding a new home courtesy of the SPCA.
"You might be as shocked and as surprised as I am to know how well Tatiana is doing already. She's out of her box most of the time and is now running to me when I call her … View more
Tatiana was a really timid girl who has really come out of her shell since finding a new home courtesy of the SPCA.
"You might be as shocked and as surprised as I am to know how well Tatiana is doing already. She's out of her box most of the time and is now running to me when I call her for lots of headbutts and head rubs. She's very chatty and is becoming comfortable walking around, exploring the house, and sitting on the windowsills and watching the world already. I chose the right cat, she's quite a character and is actually quite a brave, young lady."

Free mower

Lawnmaster Legend 4
Doesn’t work but turns over fine with engine start, so I doubt it’s serious. I got an electric, so this is surplus.

Kenwood Food processor and blender set - almost brand new

Yan from Ngaio

We bought this food processor for a while but the set did not meet our cooking needs. We only used the food chopper twice and the blender less than 10 times. All the parts are in good condition and most of the parts are never used. Also the set is big for our small kitchen.

So I want to sell this… View more

The Hutt Valley has become the sixth region to achieve a full vaccination rate of 90 per cent.
