Bring Oscar Home.
Oscar was found yesterday, but we sadly had to have him euthanised as it appears he’d been hit by a car. PLEASE have your pets chipped and registered at the local vets at the very least. That’s how we were located by the vet so we’re able to spend Oscar’s last little while with him. He’d travelled from Kuratawhiti Street to the Hire Shop on the corner of Bidwells Cutting Road...without the chip, we would never have known.
This is a likeness of Oscar who we adopted on Sunday 5 July from my son’s family in Hastings. He is darker tabby, with a large black spot on his nose. Unfortunately in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the 7th, he managed to escape from his secure crate and take off from 104 Kuratawhiti Street.
Hopefully he’s not trying to get back to Hastings.
We are desperate to get our boy back. My heart breaks to think of him out there in the cold, thinking no one loves him.
Please call me on 0272451908 or 06 3048923 if you have any news. $100 reward for his safe return.
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)
