Ways to Grieve a Pet 6--Share the Love
It's a sad fact of caring for a companion animal that their lives are usually shorter than ours. This is the final in the Wednesday series giving ideas of things to help process the grief.
One of the best ways to heal from your grief is to give a home to another cat especially one in need. Everyone needs a different amount of time to be able to open their heart to another love. But, sooner or later, you can fall in love with a different cat. Although you will never replace the one you lost, your new cat will fill your heart with joy in a new way. Neko Ngeru Cat Café can be a good place to find the next special one but also to just enjoy cat time while you wait to be ready to love again.

Ginny is missing in Stocks Valley (close to shops). She is our graduate # 99 and was called Ladybug when she was at the Cafe on Jackson Street. Please check around for her if you live somewhere close and please contact them directly if you see her. Her family is extremely worrying about her. They are offering reward for Ginny’s safe return.

Theo Update
He's settling in well with his new family. Here's what they say about him: "We’re thoroughly enjoying this little guy!

Theo has started initiating playtime with Finn [the dog] now. Finn grew up with our previous cats so while he’s never had a young cat to play with, he’s being a very good 'big brother’."

Hi Everyone, I'm Domino. I'm one of the lap cats here at Neko Ngeru! If you sit quietly on the floor or a chair/sofa, we might come and comfort you. 😽
We are almost FULL today, Tuesday 8th of July! So I recommend to do the online booking for Wednesday or later. We are surprised how busy we are this school holiday but busy is good! We can have a lot of attention and play time. 😸
