PETS DON'T JUST DISAPPEAR
I've lived in Timberlea 12+yrs now & over that time the amount of cats that have gone missing, is totally out of the ordinary 4any neighbourhood. Pet cats who have a home, food, warmth, love DON'T JUST DISAPPEAR. Personally I've had 5 cats vanish in the time I've been living here, aswel as a week stay at vets 4 one that returned home so sick, he's lucky 2still b alive. We had alot of strays having kittens couple yrs ago, & the visiting Tom's were out of control. Very sad 2C wat happens when responsibility of desexing isn't been done in time b4 young cats come in2 heat & having babies, were they can. I've found Afew litters of kittens on my door step at times & have always feed them, making it safe 4them & getting human contact, so they can b handled & taken 2 kitten Inn when old enough. Unfortunately on a couple of occasions, oneday there's 4 beautiful healthy kittens getting feed.... The next day GONE... never 2b seen again. I really want 2cry thinking about it. The last family a couple of yrs ago we kept a close eye on. Having help from daughter-in-law while she was helping at SPCA.... getting mother, son, daughter(who had kittens, now has been missing couple mths) all fixed & kittens went 2 kitten Inn.... No longer do we have Tom's crying.... Young female cats being raped & unwanted babies being homeless.... BUT OUR LOVED PET CATS R STILL VANISHING... As a cat owner 50ys I BLOODY WELL KNOW OUR CATS DON'T JUST LEAVE THEIR HOME & DISAPPEAR WITHOUT ANY TRACE. Even road kill leaves a body behind..... I have my own thorts as 2wat has happened 2them & even by whom in my direct neighbourhood.... Unfortunately there is nothing we can do 2protect our cats but keep them inside...
TO Cat Haters out there..... There r responsible cat owners out there, who dearly love the company of their feline friends & stress out when they don't come hm EVER.....,

⚠️ 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 ❤️
