Loving home needed for sweet Possum....
Hello neighbours,
I am still looking for the perfect home for Possum..... Do you know a kind, gentle cat person who would be keen to adopt my beautiful big boy Possum? I am moving to Perth and he would find the move so stressful being a gentle soul.
Possum (approx. 9yrs) is one of the most wonderful cats I have ever met (I have worked in cat rescues so have met quite a few…)
Possum is so gentle and loving and is always keen to rest alongside me on the sofa as he is too large for my lap. He is a big cat. He was abandoned in Matakatia 7yrs ago and I was unable to find where he came from. If I could find somewhere local for him that would be amazing.
Possum loves company and is a wonderful companion so would do well with someone who is home often. He would appreciate a quieter household and may not take well to dogs or young children. He would be fine with other easy-going cats or animals and birds as he is not a fighter/hunter. I have rescued and rehomed a number of cats over the time he has been with me, so he is good at adapting. He is well housetrained and loves the outdoors so needs his freedom and a good sized garden. He can be kept in at night with a litter tray.
We have always lived on larger properties and next to bush, so I would love to find a similar peaceful environment for him. He would not do well in high density housing or being too close to busy/noisy roads/areas.
This is an incredibly hard decision for me and I need to make sure his new home is perfect as he is such a special boy.
If you can help or know anyone that may be interested, please contact me.
Thank you for reading.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
