Prevention better than cure!!!! Mayor Wayne Brown Auckland Council.

Auckland desperately needs a cat management plan implemented NOW!

Compulsory desexing and microchip would be a great place to start!!

Well it's that time of the year again "KITTEN SEASON AND THE RIPPLE EFFECT" as temperatures warm and un-desexed cats go into heat and reaches its highest volume during the summer months (November to March/April), heavily overwhelming local rescue groups. During this time rescue groups see a massive surge of stray and abandoned litters, with kittens often making up around 75% of animal intake This is so draining on rescue groups resources as kittens are very vulnerable and are completely reliant on their temporary care givers to stay alive.
That volume hits rescues groups hard, who are desperately trying to make a difference, in several ways:
• Space — fills fast, and a crowded shelter is a stressful, higher-disease environment for young kittens.
• Staff and volunteer time — orphaned newborns need bottle feeding around the clock, and every litter needs cleaning, weighing and health checks.
• Money — food, milk replacer, vaccinations, worming, flea treatment, vet care and desexing all add up before a single kitten is adopted.
• Longer seasons — mild winters and missed desexing (for example during COVID lockdowns) have stretched seasons out, leaving little recovery time between one and the next. This is just one part of why desexing is so important. Prevention is better than cure!

Hayley [ID #20219]

Female
7 months
Location: PETstock Westgate, 33-47 Northside Drive, Westgate. Ph: 09 833 5851

Personality: Hello? Is it you? My future family?
I’m Hayley and I´m the smallest in my litter, but my feelings are very big. I’ve been through some rough times, so I don’t trust the world easily yet. Sometimes I freeze, sometimes I hide, and sometimes I watch from a distance just to make sure everything is safe. But deep down I want to feel safe too. And loved. Are you the one? The one who won´t abandon me? The one who will share their fluffy bed and some kibbles with me? Be patient with me. It took me four months for me to trust my foster parents, but now I´m attacking their feet and hiding under their blanket, fighting all the monsters there! I’m still learning that gentle hands can be kind and soft voices can mean love instead of fear. And when I finally feel brave enough to be picked up, I don’t want to let go. Ever! I’ll cling close like I’ve found the one place I can finally relax. And maybe cause chaos. Just a little bit. Oh and I looove the fishing rod! I will chase it all day! That little whale on that rope is the key to win me over in a heartbeat! My foster parents make sure, that it can come with me into my forever home. I can´t wait for that!
Ideal Home: My two big brothers have been my protectors so far, and I looked up to them a lot. I´m not doing well alone, so another cat or kitten in the family would be great, someone to show me that the world isn’t so scary.
I may be shy, but I have the biggest heart waiting behind those big eyes. I notice kindness. I remember it. And I grow a little braver every time someone is gentle with me. So … is it you? The one who will give me time, patience and a safe place to finally come out of my shell? I think I’m ready to trust… slowly, but truly.

Violet [ID #20244]

Female
6 months
Location: PETstock St Lukes, U4A Lukes Mega Centre, 1 Wagener Place, St Lukes, 1346, New Zealand. Ph: 09 845 2046

Personality: Violet is a shy girl who can take a while to come out of her shell, but once she does, she is very smoochy and will purr away. She had a pretty rough start to life, and its taken a few months to get her to accept, and enjoy being patted, but once you have her trust she is very loving

Ideal Home: She would be suited to a quiet home, she is curious about our medium sized dog, would probably be fine with a well mannered dog in the house. She chats away with her brother and sister, and the dog when he is around and would probably enjoy other feline company. She does have a pink nose and pink ears, so an indoor home would probably be recommended for her.

Bib Gourmand [ID #20326]

Female
3 years
Location: PETstock St Lukes

Personality: In the Michelin Guide, a Bib Gourmand is awarded for exceptional value - and this cat is a great deal! A gorgeous gorgeous girl (a stunning silver tabby), Bib Gourmand gives excellent head butts, absolutely loves to snuggle, and is the queen of flops (and enjoys getting her belly rubbed). She also chuffs constantly, and will call out for your attention when she is feeling neglected. In new situations she can be a little growly/hissy, but she relaxes quickly (it only took her about 24 hours to settle into her foster home), at which point she turns into a confident, sweet, smoochy girl. She loves her bed, and her blankie - she enjoys being tucked in under the covers, and will tuck herself in for a snooze. If you try to take her blanket away, she will grab it and pull it back - its real cute.

Ideal Home: She's not a fan of other cats, however, so she should go to a home where she'll be the only feline resident. She has not been assessed with dogs. If you're looking for a loving companion, who is past the craziness of kittenhood, look no further - Bib Gourmand is your girl!

Adoption fee: $160
