This week we are featuring Martha who arrived at the SPCA with a litter of kittens.
"I am a lovely girl, although a little shy to start with, I warm up quickly once I know I am safe. I am looking for a loving home where I will get spoilt rotten. If you can offer me a wonderful life I would like to meet you. I seem to like the other cats I live with, and I really get on with Wendy, so if you were looking for a pair of cats, maybe you could consider both of us? We would do best in a quiet home, but once settled I will make a wonderful member of your family."

Meet Tallulah. We first crossed paths with Tallulah when she was working on a passion project: Eco Made Easy, a no-frills guide to sustainable student living in Wellington. After swiftly spotting her talent, we nabbed her to design the amazing illustrations on our website

An illustrator and textile designer with a passion for sustainability, Tallulah also hand makes colourful and playful creations and prints.

The best words of advice she's ever received is: "leap before you're ready".. and based on what she's achieved, it's safe to say that she listened.

Come meet Tallulah at our Sustainable Santa Market. But don't poach her cause we will cry.
