Missing Cat

Teresa Neighbourly Lead from Gonville

Please help us. We are looking for a black and white female cat, her name is Smudge. She is aged 20-21, she looks like she hasn't been fed because she is really skinny, she has been fed regularly. Smudge has one white leg and one black leg. No use calling for her because she can't hear, or see properly because she has cataracts. I'm sending this in for myself, and our neighbour. Someone may have picked her up thinking that she was'nt looked after, but believe me she was looked after by us mainly, and our neighbour. Please bring her back as she doesn't like to be closed in. Smudge actually belongs to our neighbour, but we miss her heaps, and it would be awesome if you could PLEASE PLEASE BRING HER HOME. She would've been picked up at her home in Castlecliff, 70 Puriri Street. She would've have been asleep under a small shrub by the driveway of our section. I couldn't sleep because I always go out every night to see her and to see if she has been taken in by her owner. He took her inside and locked the cat door but some how she manages to get out and she always goes back to that shrub. Kids from Tawhero School either wanted to pick her up, or tried to scare her, I always looked out for her but on the 12/03/2018 I didn't watch her as I usually do I slept in. I usually ensure that the kids don't disturb her on the way to and from school. She was either taken early Monday morning, or late Sunday night. I waited for her to come for her usual morning visit but she never came and naturally the neighbour thought I had her, and vice-versa. He came last night to see if we had her and we were really shaken that the neighbour didn't have her. Straight away we searched for her but to no avail. While I'm writing this I'm missing Smudge so much now I'm starting to cry. PLEASE I BEG YOU BRING HER BACK. Her owner will keep her inside once he gets her back so PLEASE do the right thing. I prayed to God to look over her and protect and keep her safe wherever she may be. Even though I have 6 cats plus, I still feed whatever cats come here, and there's a few, every one of them means a lot to me even if they are not mind. They come then they go home. I have strays, and one cat that was born in our shed that the Mother didn't want, she was the runt, I love them all and well do anything to keep them safe, but looks like someone just decided to take Smudge without thinking what it has done to the people that love Smudge. I well never stop looking for her. If you have her please bring her home because our 2 houses are the only ones she has known, thank you to all of you who have taken the time to read this. WE BOTH LOVE YOU SMUDGE WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, PLEASE I ASK YOU, BRING HER HOME.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
