He's mowed the lawn....waiting for payment🐏

I'll be sure to tell Gav about my busy/ strenuous day 'mowing the lawns'😜😉

13/12/2023

Now I've warmed you up with a pic of cute kittens...here's a terrible pic of me with their Mother...this is Gaby as in 'Gabrielle'.
Does anyone remember I trapped her after the flood back in March? Gaby had a plastic bottle stuck around her neck...I rehabbed her thought I had her trust but alas she made her 'great escape' to only return 6 mths later 'with child' to that crazy cat lady she knew would look after her.🙄
So Gaby is also available for rehoming...she is actually delightful and very grateful and getting 'spayed' on friday😽

Hey fellow crazy cat people...first of all thank you for all the support over the last week..such a relief to finally know we can stay in our home.
Securing the house in category 1 allows us some certainty about a repair on the main cattery...we only suffered 1 foot of water damage but that equalled a large insurance claim.
As we get ourselves back on our feet we wanted to let you know that at this stage we plan on reopening but it will not be till early 2024...we will not be open this Xmas!
We have much work to do in and around the cattery and property wide...it will be a busy Summer.
Give us a 'toot' if your passing
Gavin Connie and Drew😻

PSA
Unfortunately due to Cyclone Gabrielle taking out the Cattery and subsequent 'Red Zone'announcement, our insurance company has put the 'kybosh' on our rebuild...we will not be open at Xmas😿

There is limited Cattery space in the HB and the other catteries have been notified...alternatively we recommend a housesitter as typically all your fur babes would prefer to just stay at home if they cant hang with me and Gav...well that's what they tell us😽 Good luck and thank you, will keep you posted

Gavin, Connie and Drew
