Cat still missing - do you know of someone who is feeding him?
My cat is still missing and I am not giving up, no matter how long it may take to find him. He has been missing since June.
We suspect someone has assumed that he is a stray and is feeding him. Possibly, they may want to keep him as many people assume a cat is homeless if the owners are not within close proximity.
City cats can wander up to 5 km when they are lost, and Miles was sighted twice over three blocks away from our house. So please do not assume he is a stray since he has wandered quite far.
A reward is being offered for his SAFE return. No questions asked.
He comes from a loving family, and we are still very upset over his disappearance. I know some people can't relate to how much we love and miss him but he became such a huge part of our family and my life. After I had surgery, my partner got Miles for me when he was a kitten so I would have company while on bed rest. Looking after Miles made me feel better and motivated me to work on my recovery faster. Not having him here just feels like there is a massive part of my life missing.
If you know where he is, please call me: 02102529119.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
