Mumma Rita and her litter of six came into care when her kittens were 5 day old chunky little fuzz balls.

Now at two weeks old, their eyes are open and they are beginning to toddle around on very shaky legs.

Their personalities are growing with them.

Carmen has a bit of an independent streak and will quite often choose a spot on her own to snooze, whereas Tony, Bugsy and Candy stick close together. Effie and Lola bring the ‘chill’.

Mumma Rita is a bold and friendly young lady who’s very responsive to her babies! They never like her to go far but whenever the crate is open she sneaks in her own cuddles 🥰

Rita loves to follow her people around, often rubbing on them until she gets the pats she needs. At heart, she’s still a kitten herself.

As beautiful as it is to watch this family grow in safety and comfort, they should have never been put in the situation they needed rescuing.

Females can become pregnant from 4 months of age - Desex your pets!

Our ‘Party Mix’ litter are another example of the importance of calculated parasite prevention and measured feeding while in a malnourished state.

They may look bright here but all have spent a week with the worst diarrhoea to come through the rescue 🫣

After MANY litter box change outs and baited updates on the ‘sh*tuation’, all are recovering well under the care and supervision of two very dedicated Fosterers (thank you!).

If in doubt, seek the advice of a veterinary professional!

*** Warning, graphic content ahead***

If intestinal parasites make you squeamish, turn back now!

Just as we were packing up from our Adoption Day we met Piper (a.k.a Pip-squeak) and rushed her into care with an experienced foster home.

We could see that she was very uncomfortable.

Despite being severely malnourished, she had a large, distended belly on top of struggling to keep down fluids.

Overnight we found the likely culprit as she passed an obscene amount of worms 🫣 The picture above is of a clump of them that didn’t make it into the litter box.

Helping her maintain her body temperature, rehydrating and feeding a gastrointestinal friendly diet will be the focus of her supportive care while we build up her health.

As a general rule, the younger the animal the more frequently they need worming. At her age it’s every 10-14 days. A regular worming schedule for both kittens and queens is vital to prevent this - no animal should suffer like she has 😞

This one’s for the feels!

Finding the right match is super important for us and we have been fortunate lately to meet some incredible homes for our kittens.

A few special cases like Peaches (now officially Princess Peach 👑🍑), really stand out and make the months of rehabilitation, vet visits and supportive care all very worth while to see them happy and thriving.

‘We adore her and so happy to provide her a loving home. She’s a gorgeous cat that is playful and affectionate. We took on board all the advice from Moggies and her foster mum and everything has worked out well. Lots of care and patience. The Moggies team are amazing and do such a great job caring for these cats who’ve had a rough start. We can’t thank you enough and look forward to years of love with Princess Peach (Peaches)’

We’re sending a heartfelt thank you right back!

The rescue is home to many wary but wonderful souls - if you too can give them the chance they deserve please message the page ❤️

*Update: Miss Toulouse has found a home 🥳 *

The first Adoption Day of the season was a success with all but one kitto finding her special someone.

Don’t worry Toulouse, we know your people are out there ❤️

If you’re still looking to adopt, we’d love to hear from you as we have a range of kittens ready outside of adoption days. They’re not the hustle and bustle types so are patiently waiting for the right families to come to them 😇

As usual, we’d like to thank our rockstar Moggies Mummas, the cool cats at Animates for hosting and our incredible adoptive families 🥰

Space in the rescue means room for more wary souls to come into care - we even had an emergency case come in just as we were packing up 🥹

It’s Adoption Day 🙌

And we’re looking forward to seeing your happy smiling faces 😍

As a courtesy reminder, we ask adopting families to arrive at 10am or after.

Our team will be there from 9.30am but need that 30min window to settle in our kittens for the day ahead.

Thank you for your understanding and see you soon!

Aristocats part 4 🐾

** Toulouse **

Our tortie is a very special lass 🥹

Toulouse is full of personality, loves ALL of the toys and has a gift for climbing. She will accept pats but has to understand what’s happening first as she is hearing impaired.

As she has strong play drive, she gets a bit carried away so is not the best pairing with young children.

If character is your calling card she is the funniest little kitten who will zoom across you in a hurricane of happy chaos 😜

Aristocats part 3 🐾

** Thomas O’Malley **

Our black boy is all play! As soon as there’s a jingle or something moving across the floor he’s out to investigate. He’s less so the touchy type but will come for pats, loves sleeping by your feet, and following around his people.

Marie is the darker of the ginger pair, is the resident cuddler - in down time you’ll either find her on your lap or waiting for you to snuggle up in bed. Inbetween naps she’s always busy!

Next up is the Aristocats!

Aristocats part 1 🐾

** Duchess **

This little lady is affectionate, curious and bold.

She’s super inquisitive and always wants to know where you are and what you’re doing!

She loves the resident kids, is not bothered by noise, and happily co-habitats with the dogs.

Selma, (tabby) our spunky tabby lioness, is a sweetheart until the toys come out and she’s all play! Don’t let the serenity of sleep fool you, she’s all beans after a good cuddle and ‘snooze mode’ is the most efficient time to snap a quick pic before she’s back in action 🤭

Patty (ginger and white) is a little furry shadow who follows her foster mum around constantly. She’s a talker and will happily chat all day until she’s ready to curl up for a sleep.

You can see these two Sunday!

Oh hello there 😁

My name is Ellie Cat and I’m looking for family to call my own.

They would appreciate me chatting away and sneaking in a good cuddle before they left for work.

They’d also like to watch as I zoom down the hallway and double back to check they noticed how speedy I was.

Being longer haired, I’d appreciate a good brush and will reward your efforts with a happy chirp and trill 🌟

I’m not a big fan of small children but bigger kiddos or a mature family sound pretty great!

Even better would be if they wanted to adopt my sister Pepper as well. She may be wary at first but is soooo grateful for a tail scratch she dribbles 🤭

If you sound like my family please reach out to the rescue!

Chamomile, Jasmine and Earl Grey are three of the sweet faces who will be joining us at our Adoption Day.

We focus the day on all rounders and can’t fault them! Each is family confident, fostered around cats and dogs, and have settled with ease between foster homes.

We hope they meet people who are as amazing as they on the Sunday 😻

Meet Millie and Matilda 😻

These beautiful girls are were once shy and unsure of the world but have blossomed into happy little adventurers!

Millie rocks both sassy and sweet and is the leader of the two. She’s known for her ‘flop and drop’ once she knows the pats are going ❤️

Matilda takes her time getting to know you but seldom resists the urge to investigate what you're doing. She’s VERY curious and especially fond of her foster cat brother (and fridge magnets) 🤭

We couldn’t say either are quite lap cats but are confident that they love being around their humans and are big fans of the resident animals.

And although the two make a wholesome pair, we could see them thriving in individual homes should the right families be looking.

Mille and Matilda are desexed, microchipped and double vaccinated. If you’d like to know more about them, please message the page 😊

We're back for our first Adoption Day of 2025 and excited to host a few of our summer all rounders 😺

The event will be held THIS Sunday, January 19th, at the Tauranga Central Animates, and run from 10am - 12pm.

All adoption ready kittens come desexed, microchipped and current with their vaccinations/flea and worm treatments.

If you're interested in adoption we'd love to see you there!

**Adoption criteria applies**

Due to popularity on the day, we strongly encourage anyone who's interested in adoption to reach out prior to the day to get the process started 💙

**Found Solo Kitten, Bayfair Roundabout **

This little one was found at the Bayfair roundabout at approximately 3.30pm on Friday the 10th. Being a high risk area, we would love to see his siblings safe and in care.

He is being treated for a heavy flea infestation and will remain under the care of Moggies - Homes for cats and kittens if no one comes forward.

If you see his siblings, or are his guardian, please let us know, we will help where we can 😊

There’s been plenty of interest in our kittens but our cats deserve the love too! So today we’re celebrating Mumma Periwinkle 🙌 🥳 This is what her foster mum has to say about the companionship she has to offer: Peri is the type of cat that will greet you every time she sees you and gets so excited she smooches against everything. She also does the cutest little tail twitch when you pet her 😻 At approximately 1 year old, she’s still young at heart and has a playful streak much like her daughter Casey. We’d say she has plenty of kittening left to do! With a little less chaos 🤭 Peri would be fantastic in a home that gives her time to settle in and embraces the level of affection she’s eager to share. If that sounds like yours, please message the page 😊

Loved seeing all the littlies ❤️Such a cool day for the families!

We’re off to an amazing start this adoption weekend with our beautiful Mumma Percy finding her forever home with her foster mum 😻 That sassy, happy, love bug face says it all - ‘This is my home mum’ 🥹

Looking for a way to entertain the kids? Upcycling cardboard boxes into cat condos works a treat 🥰

Ashoka’s Moggies Mumma is quite the artist when it comes to knitting 😁Move over jumpers, the battle of cat vs jellyfish begins!
