Firefighters rescue kitten from drain in Fairview Heights

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours, a wee kitten stuck down a drain was rescued thanks to efforts by the SPCA and firefighters last week. It took more than three hours to retrieve the 7-week-old kitten from the drain, which proved tricky to access due to it sloping beneath the curb.

It took more than three hours to retrieve the 7-week-old kitten from the drain, which proved tricky to access due to it sloping beneath the curb. Firefighters couldn't get into the drain, so had to create a platform for the kitten, which was eventually coaxed out with some food. The male kitten is now being cared for by the SPCA where he will be desexed and put up for adoption.

Are you looking for something fun, cheap and local to do with the kids this Saturday?
HAVAGO CIRCUS IS BACK!
It’s not an actual circus, but a load of different skill toys to get you active and having fun! There’s something for everyone, all ages (toddlers, kids, teens and adults) and all skill levels. Can you juggle? Stilt walk? Hula-hoop? Ride a unicycle? Ride a clown bike? Throw a ball? Throw a diabolo?? I will be on Browns Bay’s grassy beach front (close to the playground) between 10:30am and 2pm to help you learn! Please bring some coins to put into the collection box to help towards the equipment (I do this for free, but appreciate a donation towards the toys). There’s some cool stuff which you might not have seen before, and some old retro toys you haven’t seen in a looong time!

Please check the facebook page for updates as times may change if weather is unsuitable. www.facebook.com...

The Auckland property market ended the year with the strongest December sales numbers and prices on record, and with early indications that the New Year break would not dampen sales momentum.

“The market is set to make a strong return in January,” said Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson.

“In December we sold 1,479 properties at an average price of $1,092,518 and at the median value of $1,005,000.

“This is our strongest December sales ever, and the sixth straight month we have sold more than 1,000 homes in a month.

“Only once before have we sold more than 1,000 homes in a December, and that was in 2014 when the market was building towards the peak of the last price cycle."
