MITTENS NEEDS A NEW HOME
Mittens is a 2½ year old neutered female cat. She was bought to help with the mental health of my granddaughter who was living with us at the time. Unfortunately, the granddaughter moved to live with other family members in the South Island, so Mittens was left behind.
As retirees, we are about to “hit the road” and cannot take Mittens with us.
Mittens is a smallish cat, a bit shy, a great rat/mouse catcher and quite independent but she does love to have human company on her own terms. She isn’t particularly cuddly except first thing in the morning or if you have been away for a few days, so definitely not a lap cat.

Police are investigating after a bus driver was allegedly punched in the face and "had some teeth knocked" out in Avondale.
Police said it was alerted to the incident at about 10.17am yesterday.
"The driver received facial injuries and was transported to hospital," a spokesperson said.
"Police are making inquiries into the assault to identify those involved."
Tramways Union president Gary Froggatt said the driver was allegedly punched in the face by a passenger.
Froggatt wanted more to be done about "issues like this".
"I realise you can't have a policeman on every bus, but the drivers and the unions seem to be left out of the conversation.
"He's in hospital getting stitches put in his knee. He had his teeth knocked out," he said.
Froggatt said he got "about three or four calls like this" from drivers a month.
"I feel for the family, the drivers should be able to go to work and go home safe."
Auckland Transport said it was aware of the incident and assisting police with their investigation.
Group manager of public transport operations Rachel Cara said the bus operator was ensuring the driver has the support they need.
"We operate over 13,000 bus services every weekday and fortunately the majority of our passengers are amazing, but these isolated incidents are concerning.
"Our bus drivers work tirelessly to keep Aucklanders moving and deserve to feel safe in their place of work.
"We continue to work closely with police, other agencies and communities to improve safety on public transport."
Police urged witnesses to call 105.
