Meet Lavender - she is a 7-year-old Main coon (Silver tortie) who is currently at a temporary foster home for the Waikato Animal Outreach Trust.
Lavender is looking for a quiet home in a foster to adopt arrangement, she has been a very independent outside cat for the last 2 years and needs to trust humans again, she is a hider and needs a patient person in her life to be her companion - someone who has the time to spend with her - retired/semi-retired working from home etc with no children or dogs, she would suit an older person or couple.
In her current foster home she has responded to pats and a bit of chin tickling so is making progress

Anyone interested in providing Lavender a home please email Steph at waikatoanimaloutreach@gmail.com with some details about yourself, your family, and the home you can provide Lavender.

Lavender will need to be kept inside for quite a long time and taken to vet appointment as needed in Hamilton.

Lavender also needs a teeth clean and one or two teeth out which could cost several hundreds of dollars, we have undertaken many elective surgeries in the last 18months and our vet bill is rocketing - we need your help to get Lavenders teeth done so she can feel a million dollars.

Donations can be made directly to Vetora (Collins Road, Hamilton) or to our Op Shop at the Dinsdale shopping Centre and to our bank account:

ANZ 06 0225 0190554 00

ref : Lavender

If you need a receipt for tax purposes, please email Steph with your details.

Thank you

We Say/You Say: Body Cams

Hi neighbours,

What do you think about body cams being worn by authorities?

A local council in the Waikato region has rejected a plan to enforce body cam use for council officials conducting fieldwork.

Some council staff had reportedly received death threats from members of the public and this prompted councillors to call for mandatory body cam use for some staff in December 2020.

Legal advice received by councillors showed that filming members of the public could be a breach of privacy and potentially be an offence under the Bill of Rights. There was also concern about when footage can be released under the Official Information Act.

Would you support the move in your community? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments used in the Cambridge Edition.
