He is chipped and neutered. We haven't moved house and he has never wandered off before, he was last seen on Monday night. I have posted on other sites as well hoping that he may be shut in a garage or shed etc and someone could find him. We live in Cunliffe Place and have searched for him as much as we can with Level 4 restrictions but no sign of him. Photo attached is a bit old but can't find a newer one. The tabby is missing, not the ginger. Could you please just open up your garage or shed if you shut it on Monday and haven't been in since, just in case he is in there. Thank you so much for your help, seems to be a lot of cats going missing over the last week or so.

All regions outside of the Auckland and Northland region will move to Alert Level 3 11.59pm Tuesday August 31.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.
