💚 Thankful Thursday goes out to Kiwi Katz Virtual Cat Show 💚

The dedicated team for 2024 put together an incredible show where contestants from all over the world could virtually showcase both their ‘Fancy Floofs’ and ‘Motley Moggies!’

We were absolutely stoked to see a few of our past babies in the line up and grateful to receive the food donations on behalf of overseas winners.

Below are a few of the judge favourites (and ours 🥹). Thank you ladies!!!

Through the ups and downs of rescue we can celebrate the little lives we’re able to make a difference in.

Meet Tom, Robin, Sparrow and Finch 🐾

All will be responsibly desexed, microchipped, registered and have their first vaccination. We’re hopeful they’ll be ready to meet their new families soon 😊

It’s not ok.

What started as a solo lost kitten found in a tree in Welcome Bay evolved to discovering their litter mates breaking into nearby houses for food and finding with them who we imagine is either their mother, or older sister, heavily pregnant and soon to give birth in a carrier.

Mum was our 11th intake of the day, her kittens would have made 15. With the calls we’ve been receiving, we’re not surprised but refuse to accept this should be normalised.

If these were your cats, and you either lost, or abandoned them, know they are safe.

But also know this.

It’s not the start we would have wanted for our young mother’s children. Nor was it the end as two of her litter were born still born.

We can only imagine how stressful her previous 24 hours must of been suddenly finding herself in a foreign place, with no access to food or shelter, let alone in one of the most vulnerable times of her life.

Mum is extremely thin so our time and attention will be concentrated on getting her back on her feet alongside supporting her with her two surviving kittens and later desexing and rehoming the older litter when they’re ready.

To everyone involved in bringing the kittens into care, thank you.

We’ll bury her children in the Moggies graveyard and do our damn best to see that the remaining family are cared by ours.

❤️Thank you Thursday goes out to Masterpet! ❤️

We had the wonderful news that Moggies had been accepted into their Charity support program and were blown away to receive our first delivery!

The donations are deeply appreciated, especially this time of year. What isn’t used in the rescue will be passed onto those in need, thank you Masterpet!

Huge thank you to everyone who searched, offered support and kept an eye out, it’s awesome to see the community get behind these little ones 🥹

‼️Please keep a look out for kittens in this area‼️

We have one approximately 5-6 week old kitten found in a box on the walkway around the lakes near Taurikura Drive, just up from the Tauriko Crossing.

The pin on the map shows where the box was located. So far we just have the one, but the size of the box suggests there could have been others. From 6-6.30pm we searched the area and left a small container of food and water as a reference point.

If this is on your daily commute, please keep an eye out. We’d love to see any siblings out of the elements and in care!

19/11/2024

Today we introduce a trio of ‘wildies’ whose futures have dramatically changed for the better since receiving the care they needed at the right time and in the right place.

At 7-8 weeks, they’d had little to no contact with humans but were at an age where they’re often open to the adjustment of wild to domesticity.

Had we waited, their wariness of people would likely grow with them and the timeframe for taming along it.

Please if you see stray/wild kittens and have the ability to help, don’t wait!

🐾 Adoption series 🐾

Part 3 - Adoptions on behalf or as gifts 🎁

Often we have individuals reach out for friends, family and loved ones, looking to adopt as a gift for the people in their life. And although we think giving a rescue cat/kitten a home as a beautiful gesture, we discourage against adoptions on behalf.

We work hard to find the right match for the right home so hearing direct from our adoptive families is key 🏡❤️

Once the questionnaire is complete, we can set up a meet and greet with our foster animals and work towards a successful, mutual adoption all round 😊

Not on Facebook? No problem!
We can also be reached for adoptions through our website www.mymoggies.com or by emailing [email protected]

Post featuring two very happy customers 😇

Thanks team!

Another day, another litter of fresh faces to welcome to the crew!

With an increase in intakes, Christmas and end of year work schedules to navigate, the summer months are definitely the busiest for our team!

If we haven’t yet answered your emails or adoption queries, we thank you for baring with us.

Some days we’re just hang’n in there 🥹

💛 Thankful Thursday 💛

This one goes out to everyone who donated items to the rescue on our recent drive. They are all greatly appreciated and go towards making the lives of those in need cozier 🥰

12/11/2024

Does anyone recognise these young ladies?

Both were handed in from the Doncaster area in Papamoa by a member of the public who has been feeding them for the last two months but does not identify as their guardian.

We suspect they are around 8 months old, were family pets, and can confirm neither are microchipped.

They have come into care as it was threatened their lives were in danger. If you believe they belong to you, please reach out with evidence this is the case.

Should they remain unclaimed, we are happy to step up as their guardians.

Important note: should there be ANY doubt, threatening ‘I’ll drop them off in a bag at the beach as I couldn't care any less they aren't my cats’ is wildly unethical behaviour and a potential death sentence.

If you are reading this post and you, or someone you know, is in position where you can no longer care for your animals, please reach out to one of the many animal rescues in the Bay.

You will not be named. We can do better by our animals.

The fine folks at Coastal Pet Vet Papamoa are once again looking out for our community animals with this incredible opportunity for pet guardians experiencing hardship 💙

We’re proud to stand with them! Leading up to, and on the day, we will be offering discounted desexing for cats to those who qualify. If this is you, please reach out to Coastal, or to the page, for more information 😊

💙 Adoption series 💙

Part 2 - Adoption fees!

What are they and what do they go towards?

🐾 Desex - for both males and females.

🐾Vaccination - the 1st for short term rescues and a follow up for those in our care post the ‘booster’ period.

🐾 Flea/worm treatments - given up to every two weeks with a high quality and comprehensive treatment.

🐾 Microchipping - the insertion of a microchip to help reunite pets with their guardians if they’re lost.

🐾 Registration onto the New Zealand Animal Companion database (NZCAR).

For $220 - that’s a pretty incredible deal!

And that doesn’t touch their general care.

On top of accounting for the basics of food, litter and general foster supplies, adoption fees go towards additional medical costs 🥹

Kittos that come in with flu symptoms 🤒
Consult, medication, recheck, supportive care - starting at an average of $150 per kitten (yes, that’s with a rescue discount!)

If they have upset tummies? 😷
Specialised gastro food, probiotics, supplements - $50 upwards per kitten.

For Mothers and babies 🥛
Milk powder, mousse, an extended time in care -
Easily $200 - 300 per litter!

Adoption fees go towards our costs and keeping the rescue sustainable. For the price of a grocery run, or dare we say Kmart mission, you can change a life and help us save others ❤️

Many studies suggest breakfast is an essential part of your day…

And everyone here would say the same about quality time with cats 😇

So we’re starting the day with Peaches (cat) and cornflakes 🤭

Happy Monday everyone!

A week on and we have a thriving wee family 👏

An update from their dedicated Moggies Mumma is that:

They are super vocal, especially around feeding time. Each has their own wee noises that they make as they search for mum's milk. Biddy and Spice are the feistiest and fight their brothers 🤭

Overall, we have eyes slowly opening, they are much more mobile and have almost tripled in
size!

A big thank you to our sponsors, donators and everyone who’s following their journey, watch this space 😁

We thank those who choose:

❤️ Not to buy fireworks.

We thank those who took the time to:

💙 Educate others on the effects fireworks can have on our animals.
💙 Shared information on how to help them through a stressful time.
💙 Reunite families and their lost loved ones.
💙 Sign petitions for the betterment of animal welfare.

Baby steps! Quite literally 🥹 Just these last 48 hours, Royal’s kittos have started taking their first steps 🥰

Big hair, big personality 🤭 Fern’s is already starting to shine 🤩

Sound on 🥰

🍑 Peaches update 🍑 We’re happy to report that Peaches is doing great! So much so, she’s spending her free time trying to impress the resident BOY 🤭 We hope you enjoy her ‘flirting’ as much as we did 😂

Luke is a big fan of cozy nights by the fire 🔥 Sound on 🥰

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’ 🥹
