Flo has got a new home, courtesy of the SPCA.
"Flo the Bunny has settled in really well with us. She bonded pretty quickly with our other bunny, Jupiter, and they are now good bunny-buddies. While Flo weighs about 50 per cent more than Jupiter, she seems to have agreed that Jupiter is in charge of the bunny zone and so all is pretty amiable! Jupiter does give in and groom Flo from time to time but it's pretty clear that he's the boss! Our bunny-loving kid is thrilled with Flo and Brendon the vet has also given her the big tick! We're thrilled to have her in our whānau."

Kittens are supposed to sleep for 18 to 20 hours a day....I think Sam needs a new clock as he never sleeps anywhere close to this and seems to spends all day running round at top speed!"

Tatiana was a really timid girl who has really come out of her shell since finding a new home courtesy of the SPCA.
"You might be as shocked and as surprised as I am to know how well Tatiana is doing already. She's out of her box most of the time and is now running to me when I call her for lots of headbutts and head rubs. She's very chatty and is becoming comfortable walking around, exploring the house, and sitting on the windowsills and watching the world already. I chose the right cat, she's quite a character and is actually quite a brave, young lady."
