Bring back Ted
Bring back Ted. That is the message from Susan McNair who runs the Kitten Inn in Lower Hutt. Ted was last seen on Wednesday November 17, asleep in her back garden. By Thursday morning he had vanished and McNair is convinced he has been stolen.
"My place is like Fort Knox, there are two gates and there is no way he could have got out without assistance."
She is unsure why some one would want to steal a blind cat but she says it is second time, she has had a blind cat stolen.
An extensive search in the neighbourhood has not located him and she says being in an area that he does not know, will be scary.
Ted also suffers from a heart murmur and the stress will be making it worse, she says.
The Kitten Inn rehouses cats and kittens, with volunteers taking taking the kittens until a new owner can be found.
"If someone has taken him please return him, we love and miss him very much. No questions will be asked, we just want him back.
If you have any information that might lead to Teds return please call 5651193
⚠️ 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 ❤️

Salvation Army appeals for Christmas donations
More people in Aotearoa are facing hardship than ever before. The Salvation Army struggles to meet the rising demand for food and support due to declining donations and reduced government support. As needs increase, donations have fallen.
This year’s Christmas Appeal, Give A Little Joy This Christmas, is critical, with over one in five Kiwi children living in food-insecure households—rising to one in three for Māori and Pacific children: donations fund food, budgeting advice, counselling, gifts, and more.
Help bring joy this Christmas by donating at www.salvationarmy.org.nz... or calling 0800 53 00 00.
