* * * ATTACK ON TABBY TOWER * * *
'Almost live' footage of Phoebe, Milo and Toby putting up a heroic and mostly united front at the latest attack on Tabby Tower. A relentlessly annoying wrecking ball assault that threatened to topple the three story cardboard castle. Phoebe tenaciously defended the lowlands whilst Milo, stationed on the battlements, dealt to numerous air attacks. Toby was somewhat late to the action, only arriving on the scene when cavalry was called for... *better late than never Tobes!* Having left the skirmish early on in the piece, Claude makes a reappearance when the battle is won, well he couldn't let those tabbies take all the credit for the victory!
Do you have a castle that needs defending? If so, Phoebe and Toby are seeking new posts - their CV's are below. PM us to meet them!

How is this little button still looking for his forever home??!!! Toby is the snuggliest little munchkin/chonk in progress! The cat distribution system must have someone pretty special in mind to make him wait this long! Is it you? For more photos, check out the comments in the original post

READY TO ADOPT - TOBY - MALE - 9 MONTHS
Fostered in Birkenhead.
Prefer a small child free home - May be ok with other cats and dogs.

Cute, confident, charismatic, this chilled dude loves a head to bum scratch. Enjoys being picked and flipping himself on his back in your arms so you can rub his belly. Very affectionate, quick to purr, but also independent, as opposed to clingy. He is curious and nosey and loves to play! Toby has the purfect amount of sass!

He would do best in a household with teens and adults, but would cope with older, gentle children who respect his 'no' when he has had enough. He may be ok with a gentle, cat savvy dog if introduced properly. Toby has been around older cats - he would be ok with another cat provided their personalities and size were an even match and there was enough space for them to have their own territories.

Dear Toby was found with his siblings in a back yard in South Auckland.

All of our rescue cats and kittens are desexed and microchipped before being adopted. Flea and worm treatments are up to date.

Please note we do not operate on a first come first served basis and will wait to find the best home for each animal.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to Danika Beardsall! Not only did she run an epic bake sale fundraiser for us on Friday at AUT City Campus, but as part of her studies she wrote and produced some AWESOME adverts which were played on student radio Static FM 88.1 through July and August. One ad showcased Claude one of our 8 month old kittens who has been in and out of vet care since we picked him up at 8 weeks. Danika did a fantastic job of highlighting the health struggles that kittens go through pre-adoption and the financial strain it puts on us to get them out of the other side.

SMOKEY - MALE - APPROX 6 MONTHS - READY NOW
'CURIOUS, QUIET SWEETIE SEEKS FAMILY TO CHILL WITH'
Fostered in Torbay, Auckland.

Darling Smokey is the quieter of his siblings. He is pretty content keeping himself to himself but does love to join in at playtime. He is very curious, loves watching the TV and likes to explore. He has the most beautiful face and eyes and is a real sweetie. He enjoys gentle affection and would relish the love and care of older family members. This little poppet and his brother Timmy have been looking for their forever homes for ages, there must be someone out there who is ready to receive their gorgeous companionship?!

Smokey was rescued with his siblings from a backyard in Mangere.

All of our rescue cats and kittens are desexed and microchipped before being adopted. Flea and worm treatments are up to date.

Please note we do not operate on a first come first served basis and will wait to find the best home for each animal. We prefer to home our cats/kittens in the Auckland area to avoid stressful long distance travel.

Adoption fee: $200 or $350 for a pair.

Hey awesome community! Have you seen our album of Long Stay Cats? Click the Link and then their photos to learn more about them.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=bravepawsnz&set=a.1076807640496121
These cats are still in our care due to requiring long term medical attention or some more work with socialisation before becoming adoptable.
All cats are under vet care and when required receive; flea/worm treatments, dental work, blood work, not to mention the day to day costs of food, litter and utilities at the cattery. The funds required to sustain them is staggering!
If you would like to sponsor one of our longer term residents, please PM us to let us know which cat you would like to sponsor. Then set up a regular payment to us using the CATS NAME and the reference SPONSOR. Even $5-$10 a week would make a massive difference and we'd be very grateful! Once we see a payment has been made we will link you as the cat’s sponsor. Thank you for your support! :)

TULLA - FEMALE - APPROX 6 MONTHS
TORBAY TORTIE TULLA SEEKS STAFF - TAKING APPLICANTS NOW
Fostered in Torbay

In true ‘torty’ style Princess Tulla is a very independent little miss. She is likely to come across shy and aloof to begin with, but don’t be fooled. Once she relaxes and knows she can trust you, she is happy to cuddle with you and happily receive rubs and pats.

Tulla is very food driven, especially loves her beef flavoured kitten sachets and pet milk and is always first in line for treats! This will be an easy way to build trust and rapport with her. We recommend the lick treats to speed up bonding.

Tulla has been around her siblings and would be ok with another cat if well matched in size and temperament. She hides when a friend’s dog visits, so we feel a dog free house would be preferred. Tulla makes herself scarce and watches from a safe distance when children are around, we feel her preference would be a child free home. Perhaps with a quiet work from home individual or couple or retirees.

Tulla and her siblings were rescued from the Brown’s bay School colony site this summer.

All of our rescue cats and kittens are desexed and microchipped before being adopted. Flea and worm treatments are up to date.

ADOPTION FEE: $200 OR $350 IF ADOPTED WITH ANOTHER CAT

Please note we do not operate on a first come first served basis and will wait to find the best home for each animal. We prefer to home cats in the Auckland area to avoid stressful travel.

VOLUNTEER NEEDED PLEASE

After 15 years of kneeling to do poo patrol Aaron’s knees are finally asking for help! We are wondering if one of our awesome supporters would be free for a couple of hours on Tuesday mornings to come and give him a hand please? Of course it won’t be completely ‘crap’ we promise a good dose of kitty cuddles to balance the scales of karma. Ideally we’d like someone who can come on a regular basis and be part of our small but trustworthy and dedicated team. PM us if you are willing to give it a go. Thank you friends (from Aaron's knees, currently sporting pads)

READY NOW - PHOEBE - FEMALE - APPROX 9 MONTHS

Sweet Phoebe is shy around people to start with but soon forgets her inhibitions once the toys come out. Playing is her THANG and she turns into the life and soul of the party around aerial toys. It's where she finds her confidence and where you are likely to win her heart. When tired from playing she loves to chill in the hammocks. She has also developed a solid appreciation for catnip toys as you'll see from photos in the comments!

Phoebe will run to greet you for a back and head scratch when you enter the room. And like to climb up high to happily receives kisses on the head. Phoebe enjoys attention from those she trusts and her confidence with cuddles is growing day by day. In time, for the right family, she may become a lap girl.

Phoebe is on the introverted side and politely waits to be given treats rather than scrabbling with the peasants. She is very tolerant of other cats and would likely be fine with another chilled, introverted cat. She has not been around dogs, but may warm to an equally chill, gentle dog if introduced slowly and safely. Phoebe has not been around kids and we think she'd prefer a child free household.

All of our rescue cats and kittens are desexed and microchipped before being adopted. Flea and worm treatments are up to date.

Please note we do not operate on a first come first served basis and will wait to find the best home for each animal. We prefer to home cats/kittens in the Auckland area to avoid long distance travel.

Lonely Miaow are thrilled to launch our Winter Desex Campaign! We will be desexing and microchipping 182 cats this winter (owned or strays!)

We are partnering with Lynfield Vets, Pakuranga Vets, Veterinary Associates Takanini, and CareVets Papakura to provide free desexing and microchip insertion, which we will register on your behalf. Recipients of desex appointments will need to transport the cats (owned and strays) to and from the veterinary clinic agreed upon.

This offer can be used for your own furry friends or stray cats in the community, as long as they are over 1kg in weight at the time of surgery. Please complete one of the below forms to apply for a desex appointment.

This campaign is funded by NZCAT and two generous souls, Bill Shenton and Gloria Reece who bequeathed funds to us, to enable us to continue the work we do.

If you have an owned cat or a stray around your property that you would like to arrange to have desexed, please register on our website linked below:

A massive thanks to everyone who has recently donated towels to us. And a special thank you to Mike Parry of Islands direct in Kumeu who gifted us a huge pile of fleece tracksuit bottoms. The kitties have loved snuggling into them. Mike and his wife Kathy offer a great service: buying returned and excess stock from companies, selling to customers at up to 80% off the normal price and best yet, they are preventing these items going to landfill! Thanks so much for your generosity

FLORENCE - FEMALE - APPROX 7 MONTHS - Fostered in Birkenhead
LITTLE LADY WHO GOES WITH THE 'FLO' - Seeks a home with fellow introverts (prefer no toddlers), fine with other cats and possibly the right dog.

Florence is a gorgeous contradiction, on one hand she's old school; a proper little lady. Whilst the other cats storm in for treats, she sits back likes she’s reminding them of their manners and she waits to be given hers separately. On the other hand, she loves to let loose chasing a palm frond about the room, she’s a great little climber and doesn't think twice about heights. Overall, she is a delight to have around, relaxed and happy to go with the ‘Flo’.

Flo would do well in a more chilled household as she does like quiet time. We'd love for her to offered play and past in equal measures play. She ADORES being stroked and is quick to let you know with a solid purr. She is yet to come around to the idea of being a lap cat, preferring to receive your affection from the comfort of her hammock, but that may change for the right lap!

She would be ok with mature, gentle children who don't want anything from her. She has been around many different cats and kittens and could be homed as a pair (or with an existing cat (depending on their nature). Florence has no experience of dogs, so we can’t speak to that, but she may tolerate a bog softie.

All of our rescue cats and kittens are desexed and microchipped before being adopted. Flea and worm treatments are up to date.
Please note we do not operate on a first come first served basis and will wait to find the best home for each animal.

Please PM us to meet her ❤

***** WE NEED OLD TOWELS PLEASE ****

Hi team, if anyone has any old towels we would gratefully repurpose them at HQ.

Bath, beach and swimming towels are best, but we can also use bath mats to line boxes and traps (we have plenty of hand towels/tea towels/face cloths for now).

We could also use a small amount of flat coloured sheets, single size would be perfect. Polar fleece blankets can also be used with winter pretty much here.

Collection works best for us. If that works for you, please PM us your addy and when we can scoop up :) Thanks in advance! xx
