Another lovely adoption story. Any idea who rules the roost here....lol. Also shows the benefits of double adoptions, if possible.

‘’Update on our delightful duo, now 4 months old, Salem and Luna we adopted 26th Nov. Oh gosh I dont even know where to start lol Salem plays fetch with poms poms, he loves to be held like a baby and smooches faces with an open mouth lol Luna is the explorer, first to do anything with no fear, she was the first to jump into the fridge, first to climb the massive 12 foot tree I have in my yard, terrifying me lol she loves early morning cuddles, like 2am cuddles lol if walking she lyes on your foot smooching n flopping around like a fish. I no longer have net curtains or plants but I the renovations thanks to the kitty crew are totally worth it. They get along fabulously with my wee dog Pickles and are just adored by my daughter Paige n I. They've enriched our lives so much ❤

My parents also adopted a brother n sister from Cat Rescue 5 years ago 😊 my two are completely different he is in your face for loves and wants them whenever where as she is only on her terms and when she wants loves most affectionate wee girl. He has dog traits such as fetch n is clumsy, she is 100% tree climbing, bug hunting feline n so delicate plus very sneaky. They're hilarious and we waste so much time watching them. Hard to think we've only had them in our world for only two months cos we've loved them for a life time ‘’


If you are also looking for a rescue cat/kitten to adopt Cat Rescue use the following three avenues to advertise kittens ready to find there forever homes.:-


1.  Trade me - Cats to adopt
2.  Pet Central stores in Christchurch take in CR kittens for adoption
3.  Catnap Café also have CR kittens and cats for adoption.


Thank you.

The Rennsport class means German Racing which combines Porsche, BMW and any other German marque and provide a variety in spectacle and speed. The Single Seaters or Formula Libre and Sports and GT’s complete the lineup for the meeting.
