Not that we look after natives... as we dont. But this wee baby just needed a wee bit of respite care as it turned out. And back out to enjoy life. ❤️

UPDATE: The wee white one has a home, still looking re the larger grey and white tabby.

FOUND: Does anyone know where these two babies belong. They have made themselves at home on a property on Price Street, in behind Nicols Garden Centre. The wee white one has no chip. Please let us know if you recognise these two.

URGENT / URGENT: HOME NEEDED ❤️

REHOME ON BEHALF

Peppa is a 7 year old desexed female. She was last vaccinated 6 months ago. No known health issues. She isn't microchipped.

Peppa is a very friendly and loyal cat. She loves pats and cuddles. Tolerates kids to a point. She would be better off with an elderly or adult only household, rather then children.

She is quite relaxed around dogs, but that depends on the dog itself. Takes her awhile to get used to other cats but she adapted.

She is located in Invercargill. Her owner is moving somewhere on 31 August that doesn't allow cats.

Send your contact details to the page and we will pass onto her owner.

What some of us do at 2.30am - a cute wee story. I heard cats having a wee raffle up, so I went out to investigate, at 2.30am!! This was one of the monkeys. I have seen this wee one off and on for a while now around my house. It let me approach it, so I thought I'd duck back inside and get the scanner. It had a chip, got the number and thought I'd check in the morning. I got a nice wee surprise, this cat was born at my place 15 years ago during my SPCA days. I had a mum fostered here at home as she was about to give birth, and she had 5 beautiful babies and this was one of them. Was lovely to see she was still alive and in good spirits. (I won't mention the owners, but I hope they dont mind me doing a post). They dont live to far from my property, but it does make you wonder if she remembers this as her birth place. 💜
