FOUND CAT, DEANWELL.
FOUND CAT: BLACK MEDIUM/LONG HAIR MALE, DEANWELL, MELVILLE. GENDER UNKNOWN.
(Posting on behalf of my family member)
Has been hanging around my possibly living under my house for around 2 months now looks scruffy and dirty (even tho doesn't look in photo and photo was taken month ago) won't let me go near, have talked to neighbours and they don't know who it belongs to either. At one stage was meowing so much and continues to hang around outside my house so thought maybe a tom, but due to looking quite poorly so started putting out some food. Thinking it's either lost or a stray. Couple weeks back he looked like he'd been in a fight as had bleeding ear and hes progressively looking bit more worse for wear.
My cousin messaged me this photo about a month ago so gave a bit of time but doesn't seem to be anyone's cat so wanted to check on here before we come up with a plan to help this kitty
Have been trying get close but very weary of humans and just runs under deck otherwise we would've tried a paper collar
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
