An update on Ada
Hi, you may remember me because I’ve been at the Haven (Upper Hutt Animal Rescue Society) for quite a while. I used to be one of the Colony Cats as I was rather shy, but for a while now I’ve been living in my own apartment in the Cattery. I’m learning some new social skills, so that one day I may be able to go out to live in a real home with gentle people who understand my special character.
A few weeks ago I had a sore mouth but after my dental treatment I’m feeling heaps better. (If you wish you can still help the humans pay for that at givealittle.co.nz...) I’m even getting quite cheeky about asking to be let out of my apartment....and even more cheeky about avoiding going back in!
Luckily most people here have a bit of a soft spot for me, so no one minds.
It would be great to meet you if you would like to drop in sometime to say “hello” at 4 King Charles Drive, Kingsley Heights, Upper Hutt.
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)
.

Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
