Look what we found ! Something hiding in the Harakeke, frightened and teeny, a baby cat rescue.
…. Some time later … From the first touch Baby Cat melted … and has revealed herself to be one of the most affectionate and sweet kittens we have ever met. All she wants is to cuddle and snuggle and play .. all day long.
She comes Vaccinated and with her certificates in cat door and litter tray. She is very very pretty - short haired .. but with a ruff of longer fur around her neck and a fluffy tail .. it doesn’t get much cuter.
She is now ready and longing to bring laughter and love to a new loving home.
If you’d like to meet Baby Cat .. just let us know 💕
HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNING ... you won’t go away without falling in love .. 😻

Hello my name is Lilly
Although I talk to you from this gorgeous day bed, lined with my favourite pink Paw Patrol blanket, I am saddened to tell you, I currently find myself homeless 🙁
Due to health concerns, my mum is having to move to retirement home living and these plans don’t include me 😢 We were very happy living our best lives together and are super gutted about our respective circumstances.
Hence, I find myself appealing to you, as to whether you might know of anyone in a position to offer me a forever home?
I am 12 years old, and as you can see have most fashionable colours which would blend seamlessly with most soft furnishings.
I love the outdoors and still have a spring in my step.
I have no vices and have skills in cat door and litter tray use.
I’ve also been extending my social skills at the Cattery and spend my day mixing and mingling over in the community living area, with all manner of other cats. I’m pleased to tell you I don’t attack any of them and am said to just mind my own business. ( I didn’t tell them about that stray Tabby back home I use to hate 😁 but I’ve moved on from there)
I have no super special requirements other than a bowl of my Science Diet Fur Ball Control biscuits and a can of Fancy Feast for dinner.
Being on the “mature” side of middle age, I may develop some age specific needs in the future, so just thought I’d let you know.
There will be some more photos of me to follow, although I’m told I’m a pain in the neck to take photos of as I keep coming up to the photographer for smooches 😽😹
If anyone would like more information about me, my agents at Homestead Cattery would happily oblige.
Yours truly
Lilly

If you're anything like us, winter and the recent lockdown meant a lot of snacks and a lot of binge watching our favourite series'...

School holidays start at the end of next week - what better time to get out there with the family for an adventure in the fresh Spring air!

Nicola and I have you covered, and can ensure your no doubt fiercely loyal lockdown couch potatoes get some extra playtime during their stay :)

It’s ‘Feel Good Friday’ and what better to share than the well known and wonderful story of James and Bob the Cat.

If you're like us and hibernating from the current cold and windy front, we highly recommend snuggling down to watch A Street Cat Named Bob – it’s one beautiful story and testament to the healing power of cats x

Get in the cage Angie … “You get in the cage”, says Ange 😸
Welcome to Level 3 ! We’re all geared up for contactless drop-offs and pick-ups and have already had three “ Covert Ops” - from Operation Lucy to Masked Manoeuvres with Molly … and on Wednesday I said goodbye to my little buddy Angie 😿 ( although she did toy with the idea of making carry cage entry, Mission Impossible 😹)
