Pet of the Day: Meet Flash

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Although we are not sure where Flash comes from but we like the back story supplied by proud mum Kalista Campbell.

"Rumour has it Flash was found as a stray kitten at Wellington’s stadium. It explains why he hates any sort of commotion, but loves potato chips and fries."

"If you're looking for a super sweet pup, with a kind personality, I am your girl! I am coming out of my shell with each day though I still have a journey ahead of me.
I am looking for a home with another dog that can help me grow and provide me with some support when life is scary. I have come so far since first arriving at SPCA and can't wait to continue learning more about the world in my home, my community and through training school. I am not the largest sibling in my litter though I will be medium to large once fully grown. All the more to love!
Being a young puppy I do require a home with someone around for parts of the day, this will help build my confidence around people, ensure I get lunch and help with general training."

Teams of 4 were given a marking sheet with questions 1-5 worth 5 points each, 6-10 worth 6, and 11-15 worth 9. The questions were fairly obscure, as evidenced by the results from many of the tables who had clearly only got 2-3 questions right. In addition to the general questions, there were two 'Who Am I' questions, one won by Jenny Lucas and the other by ?? The team who were declared the winners with an amazing total in the 40s, were the team comprising Leigh Corner, Tania Woodcock, Colin, and Lorraine Whyte who had great knowledge of New Zealand trivia. For those members who weren't even in the country to know many of the answers, some of the questions were a complete mystery! The team who scored lowest - was it 11? - were given the booby prize to share, though quite how they were to share it also remains another mystery.

Some are very shy n timid, some are crazy full on young kittens, your own pets OK as the Foster cats will require being in a secure room away from your own fur family, for the duration of their stay. Having well behaved kids that can respect they also need their alone quiet times aswell as playtime can be a bonus for the younger ones requiring care. Please get in touch ASAP to discuss furthur, tonight I am in urgent need of a spare room at the least for an amazing found cat that's super friendly who needs to get out of create currently having to be in while awaits us to find his family. Super snuggly n loving, just needs somewhere to stretch his legs n have some loving while he waits.

If you think you or someone you may know will be great for this, please get in touch with me ASAP :)

The search for a baby orca’s pod enters its fourth day, and volunteers and professionals continue to work around the clock to look after the stranded calf.
The juvenile orca became stranded near Plimmerton, north of Wellington, on Sunday, and since then he has captured the nation’s hearts, with hundreds heading out in the biting wind to catch a glimpse of the aptly-named Toa (brave).
If anyone spots an orca pod, they are asked to take note of location and direction of travel, to take pictures, and to call 0800 DOC HOT. If possible, people are asked to stay with the pod, while keeping a safe distance.
