Sweet little Timmy ( TimTam) ** adopted**
This gorgeous little boy is looking for his forever home. Timmy and his litter were found dumped in a box on the beach at 2 weeks of age. Thanks to a member of the public, Keysar and Saving Hope Foundation, they’ve been rescued and nurtured. Timmy is currently fostered in Albany. His approximate dob is 11.04.23 and parentage unknown. He’s an active and inquisitive little boy and very smart. He already comes when called and sits. He is learning his toilet manners. Timmy has a really keen nose and absolutely rocks his eyebrows! If you have a suitable home you can open to Timmy you’ll be one of a list of angels that have ensured this little boy gets a healthy, fun and loving life. All enquires via the Saving Hope Foundation website ( sorry, unable to post the link). Adoption fee applies.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
