Hang out, have a chat and enjoy a fresh-baked snack and a tea or a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Kokako Organic Coffee. Koha is welcome for refreshments and for our lovely volunteers.

Once or twice a month we also offer home electrical appliance repairs, when our electrician is with us. Watch the ALoT Facebook page or the Repair & Share event discussion for announcements!

Lost cat - Mt Eden

Anna from Mount Eden

Still missing my girl 😔

Evie is a 13 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.

Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.

She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).

She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.

Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.

Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏
