Loving homes needed for 2 beautiful cats…..
Hello neighbours,
Do you know a lovely cat person who would be keen to adopt one of my beautiful cats? I am leaving NZ and unable to take them with me, which has been a very tough decision and is absolutely heartbreaking… so I need to find them the perfect home.
Sammy (9yrs) and Possum (approx. 9yrs) are the most wonderful cats I have ever met (and I have worked in cat rescues) They found me after having been abandoned/unwanted. They are both gentle natured boys, are very affectionate and love company. So it is important to find them kind and loving homes. They do not need to be re-homed together as they are more of acquaintances than friends.
Both love the company of people and would do well with someone who is home often. They will appreciate a quieter household and would not take well to dogs or children. They would be fine with other easy-going cats or animals and birds as they are not hunters. I have rescued and re-homed a number of cats over the time they have been with me, so they are good at adapting. They are well house trained and love the outdoors, especially hanging out on the deck in the sunshine with you. They enjoy their freedom but 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 ,suitable environment for them. They would not do well in high density housing or being too close to busy/noisy roads/areas.
Sammy (a beautiful black Persian) came to me 4yrs ago, via friends of friends, who were moving house. They were going to give him to the SPCA but I thought I would help re-home him – within 48hrs he had made himself at home and settled so well (with my 4 cats), I decided to let him stay. Sam is quite the character, very easy going but more of a people cat and would make a lovely companion for someone who is home often. When I worked from home he slept on my desk or close by. He loves a pat/cuddle and has a lovely loud purr.
Possum is my big beautiful boy, so gentle and loving and always keen to rest alongside me on the sofa as he is too large for my lap. He is a big cat, a little overweight, at present, due to my neighbour, but I am working to improve that. He was abandoned in Matakatia and I was contacted having advertised my missing cat, who was the spitting image. I tried to find his owners, but no one came forward. He has such a beautiful nature I decided to take care of him. The vet said he was approx. 2yrs when I found him, so he has been with me for 7yrs. He is a sensitive soul and when I met him, spent a lot of time up trees where he felt safe (hence the name).
This is an incredibly hard decision for me and I need to make sure their new homes are perfect as they are so special.
If you can help or know anyone that may be interested, I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you for reading.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
