Let's celebrate Chinese Language Week
NZCLW seeks to bridge the cultural and linguistic knowledge gap between China and New Zealand by delivering fun and practical initiatives that assist Kiwis to learn Chinese. New Zealand Chinese Language Week 2023 is on from 17 September to 23 September.

MISSING CAT
Hey neighbours,
Koco my black cat is missing, from Ilam Road. It's been 11 days now, since 12/11/24. She's definitely not under the house or hiding anywhere and we've done everything we can to bring her home at this stage, but will always appreciate advice or other ideas. Before she went missing she was coming home and eating and cuddling etc every day, morning, night, and throughout. If anyone sees her anywhere we'd really appreciate a message :) Thank you so much!
-She's microchipped, three years old, wearing (could have lost) a red studded collar with my number and her name attached to a red heart name tag.
We really miss her π’π
