Last weekend you may have seen we caught Marty and Doc on Saturday. But when we went back on Sunday the 3rd sibling was nowhere to be seen💔
The property owners hadn't seen him, and after days of traps being set he was still MIA, so the worst was presumed🥺

We are so pleased to tell you that we got a call Saturday just been, (a week later!) to say he had reappeared!😍 A trap was promptly set and within a couple of hours, we had the last brother in care!🥰

Meet George🐈 Not as scared, nor sick, as Marty and Doc thankfully, and he seems quite grateful to be warm and fed🥹

Tiny Herbie also joined us this week🥹

Coming in at just 435 grams, he's been getting some extra TLC to help him thrive💙

Herbie is a delightful little guy that loves to be in amongst the action and 'help' with work too😆

Introducing... Mr Peaches🍑

This cool little dude may be a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, will love to be teased with a toy on a string, race around in and out of the cat tunnel, up and down the cat tree or chase ping pong balls along the floor😁
When all the playings done, he will climb up on you and demand a smooch, making it a bit hard to watch TV🙄😆🥰
Mr Peaches is on the lookout for someone who will love him unconditionally and provide him with his forever home💖 He would probably prefer a family without young kiddos, but he's quite happy to share with another cat or dog😘

Let us know if you would like to come meet this little stunning man😍

It has been a busy and stressful weekend😮‍💨

Please, if you are able to help by taking one of these young cats on and showing them patience and love, reach out. We can't do this without you💔

28/07/2024

We need your help!!🤞

There are 4 older kittens/young cats at the property where our two boys came from yesterday, who are very scared, but not feral. They have lived around people, but not been handled at all, and they are used to other cats and a dog. They will not do well in busy homes with young kids, unless they can be in a separate room.
Unfortunately they cannot stay where they are as they are not being fed or cared for. They deserve to be shown love, warmth and have a chance at a happy life🥹

If we have foster or forever homes for these gorgeous cats they have a shot, if not their chances aren't looking good💔

Can you help save one of these little lives??😞

Please share far and wide Facebook family!!

Yesterday brought another wild kitten catching mission!😩
Three little ones have been living under a house in Te Puna, trying to fend for themselves😔
They were so hungry we managed to catch two of them without trapping. Todays job is to get the third into safely🤞
Unfortunately these 2 boys are very sick, we could hear their breathing before we even saw them😭 They have spent their first night in the warmth, lungworm treatment, antibiotics and sub cut fluids on board, but they are definitely not out of the woods yet. We need all your prayers we catch the third baby today and that these guys pull through💔 Will keep you updated x

26/07/2024

Some may have seen the posts about a mumma and babies that were spotted by the harbour bridge this week. After a few days of trapping, checking, trapping, checking checking checking... We are now happy to say we have managed to trap mum and have caught her babies💖
A big thank you to the guys at Vessel Works for their communication and help, what an awesome team!😊
This crew are definitely wild and not used to humans, but they are safe, warm and fed🥰
We will keep you up to date with their progress!

At an estimated 8 months old, this stunner has plenty of the good life to live😽

Introducing the sweetheart Darcy🥰 - NOW ADOPTED!!

Darcy is an all round superstar😁 She is such a friendly, smoochy and playful girl, who also likes to help with keeping your neck/chest warm on these cold nights while snuggling with you on the couch💖 Darcy is not phased by the big friendly resident doggo in her foster home and loves the resident cats too! This chatty girl likes to let you know she is around, just in case you forgot that she needs regular cuddles and food😆 or just a good old chin wag🥰 She will be a great addition to most families but would prefer one with slightly older kiddo's😊
Let us know if you would like to come say hi to this stunner😍

This beautiful Tuxedo boy is the most loving, smoochie wee man🥹 Found fending for himself out in the cold and unclaimed, he is super happy to be fed, warm and loved but boy does he return that love!❤️‍🔥 He has even decided that playing with toys is super fun⚽️😁 Starts purring in anticipation of a pat and makes a brilliant neck warmer🤣 If you’re after a wee cuddle monster this is your man!💙
Conan would love a quiter home without young kids, could you give him that?🥰

Say hi to the mighty Herc💙 - NOW ADOPTED!😁

Herc is a charming and gentle boy😊
His shy eyes are easily trusting, and he welcomes kind hands🫶 Herc loves to play and will call out for attention with his mighty meow🐈‍⬛
There's no tower too high for Herc! Adventure is his middle name, but once defeated by exhaustion, he becomes a cuddly hero🥰

This gorgeous boy is the last of Slinky Malinkys babies to find his people.
Could you be Herc's forever mate?🥹

22/07/2024

Mouse and Possum are the last two of our wildie squad still to find their families🐈🐈

The girls are taking a little longer to learn to trust than the boys did, but they are showing steps in the right direction every day💗

Featuring Mouse below who's definitely on the right track😍
