Kohl's adoption is confirmed! He is our 187th graduate (38 from the new premises)! This is what his humans said: "Kohl is going very well. He is a happy chappy with eating, drinking and using the litter, plus he is smoochy with us!
He is still a bit shy and easily startled, and loves to hang out in either a high spot or a tiny one. We're really pleased with how he is going with our other cat - while they're not best friends yet, they can hang out indifferently in the same room no problem... He loves me scritching his ears, so much so he then does a big flop on the ground."
Join us in congratulating Kohl and his new family.

Cute Pansy found her humans and home! She will leave for a trial on this Sunday 5th around mid day. We will miss her since she is a part of the pack, playing with other cats!
Come to say good-bye to her before she leaves! We are quite busy tomorrow but still have a lot of spots on this Saturday or Sunday.

Preparing your cat for New Year's fireworks
Fireworks are often stressful for cats. Here are some tips to help you prepare yours
Build your cat a den or bring out their carrier so they can hide somewhere safe if they want to.
A few days before, start encouraging your cat to come home before nightfall. Giving them their dinner before dusk can make them keener to come home while it’s still light
On the night, feed your cats inside the house before dusk, then keep them indoors for the night. .
Make sure you have enough litter trays indoors for your cat so they don’t have to go outside.
Turn the TV on and close the curtains to drown out noise and bright flashes.

Hi Everyone, I'm Tinzel. I heard my mom Mikuu at Feral Nation got adopted with another kitten yesterday! Gongrats Mom! My days in Neko Ngeru just started recently so I won't be available for another month but I will find a good home just like you, Mom! I usually stay under the small couch and if you use a toy on the edge, I might be interested in playing with you!
Ah I was told to tell you that we are Almost FULL today, New Year's Eve! Give us a call @ 045683434 to check the availablity before you come. Remember, we will be back on the 3rd of January.

Oh, hi... uhh, Happy Caturday, Everyone. I'm Wiley. I guess I overslept this morning. I heard we are full at 10am but have spots available at other hours. So, give us a call @ 045683434 to book your spots. Okay, now I need to get ready for customers. See you soon!😸

Cat Fact When cats climb a tree, they can't go down it head first. They have to go down backward because of the direction their claws grow. Backing down is a hard skill to learn, so many cats get stuck in trees. Video is Gracie climbing the cat tree and going down awkwardly during our quiz night

Missy came to us today.

Bravecto Plus Pepper & Me Prize Drawing Rumer selected the winner. Congratulations . . . Sheena!

Had to turn it off at lunchtime because Gracie would not stop watching

The cats need human playmates today. Call us on 04 568 3434 or just walk in. Free soft drink to anyone who shows they follow us on social media.

Cat Fact Friday Cats have evolved sophisticated communication abilities with humans. They can follow where our finger is pointing and know where we're looking. Skills like these help them understand us better. They also use purrs, slow blinks, and other behaviours to show they're comfortable with and (dare we say) even love us. video shows Delilah using the cat wheel, which she trained us to give her treats for

Pippin often wants to get on the big beanbag at the end of the day. This time he had to overcome an obstacle in Mochi. But he persevered and found peace with Maxi

Pansy from Feral Nation came out for a cuddle and to explore a bit! She loves to get petted. Come and meet her on Wednesday! This is the last week of our Pre-Anniversary Special! Use the code '1st-anniversary' when you make an online booking or say 'Happy Anniversary' at the till to get 25% off of entry fees! Only applies on weekdays!
