Sweet Kitty Needs a New Home
Hi Neighbours,
We have a sweet old girl we need to rehome. We adopted her as her owner had been placed in a nursing home and she ended up at the SPCA. We decided to adopt her as that's a sad place to be for an old girl. She is very cuddly and loves to head bump and snuggle on laps. She spends all her time with me as I work from home. She's asleep on my desk as we speak. She is lovely to us her new humans but horrible to our own resident cat that we have had for 9 years. Despite following all the rehoming instruction to the letter. She tortures him and now he is very anxious and won't come to numerous places in the house that he was so comfortable in before. She beats him up every chance she gets and now he has started fighting back. Its ugly folks. So I am asking for a kind soul who doesn't have any other pets to take her and love her as much as we do. As far as I know, Minnie has had a nice life before us. It's just unfortunate she is unwilling to share her new humans with our cat. Please help!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
