I’m replacing the 10 year old wool carpet and underlay from my 2 bedroom unit. One bedroom’s fawn carpet is in good condition with no stains but the rest of the house has marks from when I had my old incontinent dog. The carpet has been professionally cleaned twice so no smell but quite stained… View moreI’m replacing the 10 year old wool carpet and underlay from my 2 bedroom unit. One bedroom’s fawn carpet is in good condition with no stains but the rest of the house has marks from when I had my old incontinent dog. The carpet has been professionally cleaned twice so no smell but quite stained and faded from the sun. Someone may like it for sleep out, garden etc. Collection day is 1 December and I would prefer that the receiver take all carpet and underlay otherwise the carpet layers will do the disposal. You are welcome to view it over the next few weeks.

"I am a very talkative girl who is always up for a chat with my special human. I have a lot to say, especially when you pat me! I'm also very affectionate, with a particular affinity for head butts, pats, and being picked up. Being slow and steady in your interactions with me is really important, as I can get nervous and unsettled when approached too quickly or intensely.
I'm not your typical lap cat during the day, but at night I want nothing more than to be by your side, whether that's sleeping on you or near you. I love bean bags, and temptation treats (in moderation of course!). I'm not always down to play, but when I'm in the mood, I love ping pong balls and stringy toys!
I'm looking for a quiet home with indoor/outdoor access, and that gives me space and independence when I need it. I would prefer a home without other animals or children as my mood can sometimes change quickly if I feel threatened or am unsure of my surroundings."

"I love birding – some days are just filled with hope and potential. I set out in the rain hoping to maybe see a few kākā/brown parrots or maybe snap a few tui on the right angle, possibly come across some rotund kererū for comedic relief. But some days are blessed with a little extra and the unexpected. Today I came across an unbanded pair of kākāriki/red-crowned parakeets (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae) fossicking in the undergrowth, then feeding in the trees – blissfully unaware they are relicts of better times. Hopefully proof-positive they are spreading in Wellington and the Hutt Valley. Wellington Botanic Gardens."
