JUNE MONTHLY RUN DOWN

Desexed - 116 (up 29)
Intake - 37 (down 3)
Adoptions - 39 (down 6)
Animals in care - 210 (same)
Sites open - 8
Site locations - Manurewa, Papatoetoe, Otahuhu, Otara, Avondale, Henderson.

Highlights:
This is our best month ever for desex! Huge huge thanks to our partner clinics for caning through these surgeries. Blind Kiwi is thriving and we kept all the newborn puppies alive. We have recieved an awesome grant from lotteries right as Otara kicked off!

Lowlights:
So many unwell Otara cats. Untame. Abused. Injured by dogs. Underweight. Fleas, worms, lice. FIV. Giardia, Flu, oral decay, eye damages, abscesses, ringworm, panleukopenia. And so on. Bad weather means less trapping and more hardcore illnesses. Bills bills bills. And of course then there was Seagull.

July we focus on our teens and adults, getting them into homes and ideally having less foster animals under our wings for a month or two before the kittens come streaming in. We love our big kitties but they deserve more space and people dedicated just to them. Fostering a teen or adult is so much tidier and less chaotic than kittens! Please reach out if you can help.

Photo is of brave Tasman, he has made HUGE leaps and is ready for his forever home - fostered in Massey.

Fostered in Randwick park
Desexed, chipped, regoed, parasite free + 30 days free pet insurance

Flossie AKA Floss boss was found with her tame mum and sibs living off scraps on the side of the train tracks in South Auckland.

This gorgeous girl has a curl in her tail and loves to talk. Flossie loves getting under the bed covers for a snuggle and also to check you have feet so that she can attack them from outside the covers.
She is a chill cat but does get the zoomies when the time is right.

Flossie is fantastic with other cats and likes to be near her human whenever possible. She is untested with dogs and small children but plays gently.

Well we’ve done it again.

FOSTERS NEEDED URGENTLY FOR 5 x 3 MONTH OLD PUPPIES

Just as the baby 7 have hooned through over $1k worth of formula and before we kick them out the door to Auckland Puppy Rescue…. We have these guys we had to take in.

Found wandering in South Auckland, one of our supporters followed them home to meet their ‘owner’ who said Mum is impounded and that he was going to shoot them if they weren’t taken by someone.

So we have them. But we need help.

Can you foster? All resources provided and costs covered! Please get in touch if you can assist, they are currently at HQ and the boss is at breaking point with bottle feeding AND these jokers plus the usual fosters.

Please share if you can’t help!

GERTIE

Female
3 years
Fostered in Avondale
Desexed, chipped, registered, parasite free + 30 days free pet insurance

Gertie is from Otahuhu. The silly girl gave birth to kittens in the ceiling space between the 2 levels of a house and caused our trapper much stress! Sensibly she moved them to an access point where she and kits could be scooped and brought into care.

This lady is the ultimate family cat. She is good with a bit of chaos, confident, loves to play and adores attention. Gertie can be bossy and is pretty fearless so needs a nudge in the bum to move out from under feet. If you do that thing where you sit in your car on the driveway checking messages before heading inside after work…. She will smoosh her belly on the windscreen and yell until you exit the vehicle! Gertie always has her smize on - happy, smiley cat eyes. After years of scavenging and having kittens she’s stoked to be well fed and warm.

Gertie would be fine with kids and sensible dogs with the right intro. She is fine with other cats and generally a bombproof kitty.

To meet Gertie please message us, note that adequate completion of an adoption questionnaire and a fee of $100 applies.

*Gertie’s site continues to be trapped by FPS with support from the ministers lotteries discretionary fund (MLDF)*

What we’ve been up to:

Just an Otara site update for everyone. We’ve found another group of strays slightly away from the main colony that are in better condition due to there being 2 feeders and so far we have trapped 7 there. The toms go back and forth between the 2 locations. Some of these buddies have been FIV + sadly.

We will return back to the original location these holidays. The ones trapped so far have been assessed for tameness, FIV tested and parasite treated. We aim to return as few as possible as we have only found 1 feeder from the original colony site. It’s really upsetting out to us how bad condition most of these cats are.

We’ve also started desexing the pet cats in the area from lovely residents who reached out from the flyer drop! Some from outside this Otara area also need TNR which we will get onto as time allows.

This young lady is thin, flinches when hands come near then settles to enjoy pats. This says to us she started out life inside with people but following this was treated badly. Her teeth are not good. Even with enough food down she would have struggled to eat.

ANTON

Male
6 months
Fostered in Takanini
Desexed, chipped, regoed, fully vaccinated, parasite free + 42 days free pet insurance

Anton is still looking for a home after his adopter turned out to be allergic. This wee firecracker came into care after he was found on the streets at only 5 weeks old.

Anton is super confident, uber affectionate and in typical boy child fashion, a total bundle of chaos and pure joy all mixed into one. Anton loves people and whether you're sitting or standing, he will find a way to perch in your arm. Anton is what we would call a "bomb proof" kitten. He would adjust and settle into almost any situation.

Anton would love a home with another young cat to play with Is good. He would adjust to a cat friendly dog and Is kid friendly

To meet Anton please message us. Note that adequate completion of an adoption questionnaire and a fee of $200 applies (adoption fee reflects that Anton has had 1st and 2nd vaccines).

LUCY

Female
10 months
Fostered in Takaanini
Desexed, chipped, regoed, parasite free, 1st vax + 30 days free pet insurance

This gorgeous wee lady was found on the side of a rural road with her siblings. No mama in sight.

She is super sweet although can be a little shy when she first meets new people. Lucy loves to play and has the funniest sleeping positions, she’s got tortitiude! But don’t let that face sour you, she can be bossy but also loves a smooch.

Lucy would love to be with a friendly cat to boost her confidence and would be fine with older kids. A cat savvy dog would be fine, too.

KEITH - special needs adoption

Male
4 years
FIV +
Fostered in Takaanini
Desexed, chipped, regoed, 1st vax and parasite free

Keith has a tale as old as time. Found struggling and hungry at a colony site, he was tame straight up and no owners could be located. Undesexed and unchipped he became ours!

This is a personality that fills a room. Real main character energy. His body also fills the room, the man is LARGE and IN CHARGE. Keith is confident and bossy and loves attention, he will use his words to tell you when he demands this too. If you are after a cat to keep you entertained and keep you company, Keith is your man.

He is FIV positive and in great health. FIV doesn’t progress like HIV does, kept away from infection risks and his health at peak performance Keith will live a long life just like any other cat. Keith will need to be indoors/contained to ensure this.

Keith is fine with other chill cats and older kids - he’s a big boy so could do some damage if annoyed.

COBY

Male
9 months
Fostered in Papakura
Desexed, 1st vax, chipped, regoed, parasite free + 30 days free pet insurance

Coby comes from a really tough site in Otahuhu that covers a mosque and several residential properties. Our trapper there is often coming across new undesexed adult cats and abandoned pet cats like Coby who find their way to her feeding stations.

Coby is an outgoing, adventurous, snuggly wee cameo. This wee man only took two days to fit into family life and is craving a family of his own. He is gentle and loves attention, woukd fit into a new family easy. Coby is not a fan of expensive cat toys, he occupies his playtime with pegs, toilet rolls and scrunchies and once he’s done playing he sleeps where ever he drops.

Coby would be fine with kids and cat friendly dogs.

To meet Coby please message us, note that adequate completion of an adoption questionnaire and a fee of $160 applies.

(Our dedicated trapper and feeder at this site continues to desex the new kitties that pop up.)
