Hi Everyone, I'm Luna! I will show you.... Hey, Rakaia! Move out, will ya!? I'm filming myself!
Hmm, I'm showing the different ways to drink from Drinkwell Water Fountain! The 1st way might be difficult but a smart kitten like me can do it easily. 😽
We close at 3pm instead of 4pm today, Sunday 27th of April! Sorry for any inconvienence. We are FULL at 12pm but have some spots left on other hours especially 10am!

Happy Caturday, Everyone. I'm Munro! I'm the only black cat here in the Cafe. You can see my beautiful shinny coat in the video. 😽 I'm more shy than my siblings, Rakaia and Demetrius but I'm confident now so I hope you can come and play with me!
Ah, we are FULL 10-1pm today, Saturday 26th of April. We have some spots left in the afternoon so give us a call @ 04-568-3434 to book yours and avoid disapointment! 😸

Look who's back!
Roy went to his trial about two weeks ago but came back yesterday. His human mum said 'Roy was a very good boy and settling well but I just couldn't give him enough time.' Well, that is why we have a trial period and we are happy to take our cats back if it doesn't work. It is nothing to be ashamed about! 😄 He seems happy today in the cafe with other cats and we are sure he will find a purfect home for himself!
We are already very busy tomorrow, Saturday 26th of April and 10am to 1pm is full. If you are thinking to visit us, it is better to book online now! 😄

Cat Facts
Do Cats Recognise Themselves in a Mirror or Video?
I recently had this question so I looked it up. It seems that they know there's something to react to when the see their reflection but it varies from study to study as to whether they know they are looking at themselves. You can find more information here:

Lovely Lola is going to stay at her foster home again so she can recover from her stress related skin condition. We know this may affect her chances of meeting her perfect family but we wanted to let her relax and heal. If you think you can open your heart to this very affectionate girl who just happens to fear other cats, please let us know. We can arrange a private meeting.

Throwback Thursday

How have your cats changed over time with you?

😸 Meet new kittens! 😸
Do you remember Marshmallow? These kittens are her grand children! They were surrendered, vet checked and vaccinated, and went to our foster home yesterday! They still need the 2nd vaccination and get de-sexed so it will be a month before they come to the Cafe. They are just 3 months old now.
We look for naming sponsors for these boys! We were told lighter colour tabby kitten is a girl but they are both boys! 😂 That often happens. 😁 So please let us know if you are interested in naming them. We ask $70 which goes to their vet bill and you will be invited to meet them once they come to the Cafe! Please send us a message if you are interested. 😄

Hi everyone. I'm Gracie. Demetrius, one of the cats of Team Black & White, left the Cafe yesterday so I can fill in the spot! I'm a kind of Black & White! 😸
My adoption day has been postponed many time but it is set on Friday 2nd of May! My human mom had a lot of trouble recently but I know she will come for me this time. I'm trusting her. I've been here for almost one year so it is time for me to leave. 😸
We are again very busy and full at 3pm today, Wednesday 23rd of April. We do have a few spots left especially at 12pm and 1pm so give us a call @ 045683434 if you want to see me. 😽

Here's what her people say about her: "Poppy's life is one long sleeping, and adventure fest. She is doing really well and her life is awesome. She has a range of beds, couches, chairs, spa pool cover, and lately on top of the BBQ."

Cat Care Class - Thursday 24th of April 1pm!
This class is for ages 5 and 6 so we can confirm they know how to treat cats properly. Successful completion earns the child a badge that lets them come into the cat room like a seven year old. Child and a parent/guardian need to come together because Richelle is not an early childhood educator (she was a high school teacher) and we need the help from parent/guardian to translate into language the child can understand. About 30 minutes instruction and rest is practice (means playing with our cats!)
We still do not have any booking yet. If we don't have at least 3 families participanting, we will cancel this class. So let us know if you are interested!

Demetrius went to his new home this afternoon.
