Hi neighbours,

On Tuesday night, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced there were four new Covid-19 cases in the community.

Auckland moved into level 3 at midday on Wednesday, and the rest of the country into level 2.

Kiwis outside of Auckland can still continue to go to work and school, with physical distancing, and are advised to wear masks in public.

Businesses can open to the public if they are following public health guidance, which includes physical distancing and record keeping.

In terms of gatherings, New Zealanders must not travel to events with more than 100 people. This includes weddings, birthdays, funerals and tangihanga.

The Government advises all Kiwis to practise good hygiene and stay home if sick.

Hello,
I am an adorable little tabby girl about 8 months old. I am inquisitive and always interested in what is going on around me, and my foster mum tells me I’m a clever little girl because I have already learned how to ‘hi five’ for treats... I love Temptations very much!
For the last three months I have been learning about people, as I was found with my brother on a farm during the lockdown.

Now I am looking for a home with a loving person to take care of me, who has plenty of time to spend playing with me. I would like a home where someone is home for much of the day because I love company. I have a very sweet temperament, and love to be patted and caressed, but because I wasn’t handled as a young kitten I don’t like to be picked up yet. So my foster mum thinks I would be happiest in a home with just one or two adults, especially if there are no other pets.

I am perfectly happy being an indoor cat, I have my own bean bag in the sun where I can watch the birds feeding at the bird feeder or nap as it suits me. As I am from the country, I’m not used to cars, so a country home or somewhere with very little traffic would be best. If you are looking for a sweet little companion (and have a good supply of Temptations :) please contact my foster mum.

I tested negative for feline aids and as I am in favour of family planning I had my op a while ago, as well as being microchipped to keep me safe, and have had all my vaccinations and flea and worm treatments. My vet says I'm a healthy little jellybean :)
