Over lockdown Neighbourly is running stories on SPCA pets that have been successfully adopted. This week it is Zoe.

“The adoption has progressed really well with our little Zoe. Before we went to pick her up, I had a whole list of elegant princess type of names to rename her, but now that she has fully settled in, we have come to realise she is quite the opposite of that and more of a mischief cheeky troublemaker.
After a couple of weeks of slowly introducing each other, Zoe and her feline brother have gotten along a lot better than we anticipated. What she lacks in hearing she definitely makes up in with her voice and all the random noises she constantly makes. We bought her a large expensive cat tower and of course she much prefers to sleep and play around in a paper bag, so that has been fun being woken up at 3am with her rustling around in the bag.
Her new favourite area of the house is the bathroom where she loves to sit on the bath for hours and watch the water slowly drip out of the tap or go and rip up every single piece of toilet paper. She is constantly making us laugh and is so full of character and is loved by all our family and friends. Thanks so much for everything.”

Randy and Gene live in the Lower Hutt suburb of Avalon.

"Brothers Randy and Gene chat to Grey Cat through the cat flap (social distancing). Randy and Gene run a muck through the Avalon neighbourhood with their pal who often sneaks in and eats their food. 
Randy likes to watch keep watch of all the goings on in the neighbourhood, he lives in Ferretti Grove, Avalon with his brother Gene and human mum and dad (Kaye and Alex). Randy is a very friendly and curious little boy and enjoys making new friends - I know this due to the text messages I get about his whereabouts - usually napping at the neighbour's place."

Tūī were out in full force, as they fed on the blossoms!
Kereru, as usual, were everywhere including in a wheelbarrow!
The sparrows were caught having a good old dust bath.
Mr Duck was out by himself and full of chatter as I walked by him.
Although it was still very cold, it was nice to feel the rays of the sun on me!
