Loving Home Needed for Merlin & Avalon ASAP!!
Hello Neighbours,
We need your help to find a loving home for these 2 beautiful, friendly cats. Merlin and Avalon are brother and sister approx. 7yrs old. They were brought out to NZ from the UK and have been living in Auckland. Their owners have just moved to Taranaki and couldn’t find a rental that allowed cats! So, they have been left with The New Zealand Cat Foundation (TNZCF) in Kumeu!!
I had my first meeting with them today and spent some time trying to take some good photos. They are gorgeous, both super friendly, very vocal and love attention! Merlin is the tabby (male), Avalon is the black (female). They are both of slender build with an Abyssinian look about them. They are healthy and they will have a vet check before rehoming. They will make wonderful companions!
If you know of anyone who could offer these gorgeous cats a loving permanent home, please email me ASAP shamor8@gmail.com or call/text me 021 388778.
The NZCF have an amazing facility where they are currently taking care of over 150 rescued cats and are at full capacity. They are always looking for reliable volunteers to help with the running of The Cat Sanctuary. Please check out their website www.thenzcatfoundation.org.nz... or contact me for more information.
We would really appreciate your help! :)
Thank you
Sharon
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.
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!
