Stolen cat
My mango boy was stolen by a lady named Lulu Dunbar please neighbours help me get him back she posted him on fb saying she was looking for the owners as soon as I commented she ghosted me and refused to reply. Admin for the group even tried to get a hold of her to return him. I don’t know why the heck she felt the need to pick h up and take him home and hold him captive I just want my cat back. I have even gone as far as make a police complaint with evidence of the post and my cat. He is not chipped my daughter gifted him to me in January he has been desexed totally regretting not chipping him sooner still tho he’s mine and I don’t know why this lady feels she has had to hold him captive she got a lot of feedback from others for trying to claim him before I had even seen the post. I just want my cat back crazy lady he’s scared and wants to come home! Any info please call 02109144671. This is the dog photo on the post my mango looks terrified😌This is her post. My photo of him next to it.

Toxic algae
We've had early reports of toxic algae in some of our awa/rivers. Unfortunately, dogs like to seek out the algae and eat it, causing serious harm.
We monitor water quality at recreation sites over summer for toxic algae, however, site assessments are based on the risk to human health. It is not always possible to observe small amounts of toxic algae that could still be dangerous for dogs.
If you’re ever in doubt about the water quality, then keep your dog on a leash and away from the water’s edge.
It's vital to know what to look for to keep your dogs safe 👉 www.ecan.govt.nz...
