Need to find new homes for two lovely cats!
LOOKING TO REHOME TWO LOVELY CATS!
Hello! I am going overseas at the beginning of June and unfortunately need to find new homes for my two female six-year-old cats, Mo and Kat. Both cats have no underlying health conditions and have been well looked after by a vet nurse and are microchipped and up to date with flea and worm treatments. They are both very low maintenance and have very kind temperments.
Mo is the short-haired one and is the most gentle, sweetest cat you will ever meet! She is slightly timid at first but enjoys getting her belly rubbed and loves to spend her time outdoors lying in the sun.
Kat is the fluffy one and is more on the lazy side and loves her treats and sleeps on my bed every night. She is slightly more anxious but will become your best friend if you give her a good brush!
They do not need to be rehomed together and would be suited to homes with no other pets. I will have flea treatments and a bag of food and beds to give away with them and a little koha to say thank you. It breaks my heart having to give them up but just hoping I can find them a good home so please share around and feel free to contact me on 02108313625 or dm for more information <3 <3

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)

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
