1.5 Year old, loving, friendly, Tabby cat - Iris

Chris from Hauraki

It breaks our heart to have to put Iris up for adoption but due to moving countries and having an unforeseeable future we are unable to commit to the love and attention that she deserves.

It breaks our heart to have to put Iris up for adoption but due to moving countries and having an unforeseeable future we are unable to commit to the love and attention that she deserves.

We found Iris in the bush up in Northland last year and due to my line of work she has had lots of human interaction, hugs, belly rubs, kisses, all the affection you could imagine. I feel due to this love she has received she is very friendly and loves humans. You will have no problems receiving affection from her and she does not mind being picked up for hugs. She is a real character and loves having her belly rubbed. Too cute!

She had her yearly check up a few weeks ago and is with full health, wormed, chipped and spayed.

I would love Iris to go to a home that is filled with love and attention. We are not looking for any money, just a promise of a good life for Iris. We have a carry case for her also.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have you received one of these "disturbing" letters?

Nicole Lawton Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours, several people across Auckland have received handwritten letters from someone claiming to be in contact with the letter recipient's deceased children. The situation is understandably distressing for those targeted. Have you, or anyone you know, received one of these letters?
