Stop the agapanthus invasion

Reporter Community News

Hi, has anyone seen this tortie? She responds to Nugget. She’s three years old, microchipped, is an indoor cat and can be quite comfortable with people. She has a nude Pawsome Couture collar with her name and number on the tag.

We haven’t seen her since around 7/8pm last night. She doesn’t usually wander from our neighbourhood (around Broadmeadows and Raroa) but we’ve been around and still can’t find her. Please let us know if you’ve seen her. We have had her since she was a wee kitten and we brought her with us from the South Island; she is very loved and we just want her to come home.

Hi there my name is Simba, I am a big ole handsome man looking for my forever home.
I am a little shy and will tolerate gentle pants so I would love a quiet, patient home with no children (teenagers may be fine) and no other animals.
I would love a home where I can potter around and toast myself in the sun. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be aware of.
If you think you are the home for me please contact the Feline Team at SPCA’s Wellington Centre.
