Berhampore kitties
I’m finally back and getting ready to trap the remaining cats of the berhampore Colony.
We estimate around 40 cats and kittens that still need to be rescued.
What do we do these cats?
- Trap, desex, microchip, vaccinate and rehome the cats and kittens that can be.
- T’N’R, a few kittties are released and are cared for financially by us, and fed by one of our feeders.
- The cats who can’t be released or rehomed are put to sleep, as it’s the kindest option for them.
What we need from you?
- Pictures of cats to help us keep track of them
- Trappers (or people to check on traps)
- People who can transport cats
- Properties to trap on
- And of course fosterers
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Tia, Pōneke Ngeru Rescue

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
