Here's the second instalment of our adoption lineup this Saturday at Animates Paraparaumu. Cuteness overload with Emily and Elfie.

All info is in their bio.

15/02/2024

Over the next 24 hours we will be introducing our kittens up for adoption on Saturday the 17th of February at Animates Paraparaumu between 10 and 1. Here is a first taste of the adorable fluffballs looking for their forever homes.
All kittens come desexed, vaccinated and have had their first immunisation. We require a minimum donation of $200 which covers only part of the costs we incur while we look after them, socialise them and get them ready for adoption.
Please share our post with anyone you know looking to add a furry member to their family.

Meet Dexter. His fav game is with newspaper balls. Maybe he’s part dog as he loves to bring them back, waiting patiently for the next ball toss.
He’s ready to go to his furever home so if you know someone who is looking for a super smooch and fun guy let us know!
He’s been fixed, had first vac and microchipped. An adoption fees applies.

I didn't do it!
(truly it wasn't, it was his five predecessors that destroyed the cat tower)

Just sat down to fold some washing, and got a massive fright when it moved 🤣 Mr Minx has always loved hiding in washing piles ❤️

A tough day being a cat!

Hi! Our friends at SPCA Levin & Kapiti are desperately short of old towels!

We are collecting a carload to bring up to them tomorrow. If you have any old towels floating around please PM us or text 0275344731 for a drop off address :)
Pick ups can be arranged :)

P.s. we have two GORGEOUS kittens being desexed today who will be ready for adoption in next couple days, get in contact if you would like to meet them!

Linda The Not-So-Crazy Cat Lady is fostering some of our babies from 'F' litter and she posts the most wonderful updates on her page!

Mumma Frieda and her babies Frankie and Fluffy already have homes lined up for once they are desexed ALL TOGETHER!!!!

Mumma Freida arrived to us with 4 babies. Poor Mumma Freida was so skinny though, feeding 4 very active kittens was taking everything from her. We made the hard decision to remove 2 of her kittens (Flounder and Frosty) and put them in foster care together! It was a hard decision to split this this family but all kittens and Mumma are thriving!

Flounder and Frosty will be avaliable for adopting mid-Feb :)

Gina here.

Isn't this just the most beautiful moment? 🖤

Although it makes me a little sad and quite jealous, to be honest. I never had moments like these with my mother. I don't even know who she is or where she is.

But I am very glad that Frieda will be adopted WITH her kids, Frankie and Fluffy and they'll get to stay together.

Kapiti Rest Home adopted little Bailey on the weekend!
It fills my heart with joy seeing their posts about him enjoying his new home and the smiles he brings to the residents faces!

Way to go Bailey!

A HUGE thankyou to Animates Paraparaumu who let us have an adoption day in the center of their shop!

They were so helpful and all but one kitten got adopted!!

It has been an odd evening, we are absolutely elated so many found their forever homes but also a little sad because we have never said goodbye to this many at once before!
This couldn't have been better timi g though, at over 30 cats/kittens we were pretty full! Having this many adopted at once frees up my house and a few of our fosterers so we can rescue more 🐈🐈‍⬛

Trying to get into the room first thing in the morning is not exactly easy.. they pretend to be happy to see you but all they really want is actually break out of the room. 😸

12/01/2024

Toe beans 🥰
Anyone else see a teddy bear in these or is it just me?

12/01/2024

Love how little kittens just get overcome with sleep in the middle of play and fall asleep in the middle of the room.

Foster babies got too hot in the Kitten Kingdom with this warm weather we've been having. The cheap and cheerful solution has been to build a screen to cover the sliding door opening so that we can have some airflow and let these and future temporary guests have a connection with the outside.
3 of these babies and some others will be available for adoption soon.

06/01/2024

Update: we finally found her owners and she was lost/abandoned a long time ago. They don't want her back 💔💔💔💔 They have too many other cats now.
Pm if you would like to discuss adopting her!! She will be ready for adoption by Wednesday next week :)

?!?! Do you recognise this cat?!?

We have been looking for her owners for 2 weeks now 💔

Female, long haired, black and white, microchipped (but not registered), good condition, tame, shorter than usual tail.

She was trapped (not by me) 2 weeks ago on private property near Kaitawa Reserve (Paraparaumu). For her own safety she can not be released back there.

Please PM me, Kāpiti Cats - Found Minx or txt 0275344731 if you recognise her

Jethro here,
This is my favorite song. It's my jam.

I moved rooms yesterday and now I'm in with the ladies Olivia and Sally Biscuits. So far it's good but Mum won't let me out into the rest of the house yet.

Got some serious smooches in though and killed a fluffy orange ball on a string. Don't think it'll be back to bother Mum in a hurry.

*Jethro was living wild and (as an undesexed adult male) was giving a families cat a hard time so they got hold of him (I'm not sure how..) and dumped him at a local vets along with some colorful language. We think he is around 3-4years old. Despite being in rough shape when he arrived he is now doing really well physically and is an absolute smoocher.
He has been desexed but because he was an adult Tom all the extra testosterone caused his adorable puffy cheeks which will stay 😻

**Jethro is available for adoption or foster-to-adopt. His adoption donation is $80

Eeeeeeee who is planning a visit?! We definitly are!!!

Wellington's only cat café is reopening its doors after closing two years ago.

30/11/2023

We have THREE adult cats avaliable for adoption or foster to adopt!

- Sally Biscuit, an older girl whose days breeding as a friendly stray are finally over 🥳🥳 she is confident and friendly. She tolerates other cats but will hiss at them 😅 is fine with children (photo 2)

- Friendly Bob, approximately 1.5 years old, very friendly, very confident and verrrry intelligent, can follow simple commands 😮, doesn't like other cats but does like kids (photo 3)

- Jethro, very social and smoochy, a confident boy approximately 3 years old (photo 1)

All three of these babies had no other options and were living as strays. They have all been through re-socialisation, been desexed, vaccinated, wormed, flead and microchipped. Now they are ready to find their forever homes 🏡

Please message our page or 0275344731 if you would like to know more or meet them!

If you are not in a position to adopt we would really appreciate your help by liking, commenting, tagging or sharing this post!
We are completely full for what we can take on for adult cats needing our help 💔 as these babies get adopted we can save more!

A MASSIVE thankyou to some of our incredible volunteers who have been fundraising for Kāpiti Cats - Found Minx!

Annabel did a local cat food drive to get our stocks up and ready for kitten season, and Sue ran a raffle for a glorious bird bath she made! We are so greatful to be surrounded by such caring people!

I am not sure who is happy being named but honestly this group of people are amazing. Today we had a new fosterer take on beautiful Jethro (it is often tricky to find fosters for adult cats), another volunteer did a trip up to Palmerston North to get some toms desexed, another feeds and cares for our kitties living at the tip each day. We are so lucky!

Introducing the magnificent Jethro!!

Before and after 2 weeks of love.

Jethro is an older Tom cat (not desexed) who came to us a few weeks ago. Honestly he was scarey at first and we weren't sure if he was wild. I first patted him less than a week ago, through lots of patience and care we have gained his trust and just look at him now! He is a real chatty smoocher 😮

My current theory is that he must have been cared for at some point, he has progressed top quickly to have been fully wild but maybe not for a long time.

Jethro is booked in for the works on Thursday - desex, vaccinations, FIV test and a sneaky dental check. Fingers crossed he is healthy!!

04/11/2023

We are selling raffle tickets for this gorgeous bird bath 🐦 $2 a ticket or three for $5. Proceeds to the cats (of course!)

Comment below if you would like to buy some tickets and we will PM you payment details :)

Kitten season is upon us and we have 2 stray Tom cats urgently needing desex, vaccinations and FIV tests so we are incredibly greatful to Sue Wilson who has made and is selling raffle tickets for this gorgeous bird bath to fundraiser for us.
