Kittens - The sons of Brian
All the kittens have gone to wonderful new homes. Thank you for your interest.
Mr. Brian Ford turned up about a year ago & gave us the privilege of feeding him twice a day. Every AM with a hiss hello, he started his day with a hearty breakfast & ended it with an equally delicious meal. 2 mths ago, he turned up sick after getting in a fight, I trapped him, took him to vet, he got snipped & we tamed him somewhat. We can pat him, & hold him as well as feed him - progress!
I canvassed the neighborhood to see if he belonged to someone (he didn't) but we found out he fathered 4 kittens across the street. One even has a bobtail just like him. My husband calls them the Sons of Brian (even tho two are girls :)...
These beautiful Kittens are clean and healthy. They will be vet checked and have their first vaccine and a microchip. We are asking for a $70 contribution to cover this.
We also want to ensure all the kittens get fixed when they get to 4 months at Great South Vets. The cost will be $29 for males, $49 for females so we require your commitment to this.
If you would like to add a little furball to the family please let me know and I can send you a questionaire. Cat's are a 15-year commitment so we ask that you think carefully before deciding.

Has an orange star on her forehead & big blue-green eyes so we named her after the Roman goddess of sunrise. Quiet and reserved.

Sirius is the biggest of the four. He loves his food & has beautiful black &cream colouring with gorgeous greyish eyes
PIC 3 BOY- Brian
Named after his father, Brian is grey & cream. He's a lovely boy that is active, but happy to sit next to you & be patted.
Pic 4 & 5 GIRL - Pixie
Beautiful Pixie has four white paws/legs & a sweet little bobtail~! She has the best personality &happily pings from one place to the next as fast as she can then suddenly passes out just as fast.
They are litter trained and are eating Purina One Kitten food.
You of course can name the kittens as you wish :)
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
