Two cats in one
- CataBlog
- Our lovely girl came from us as a stray from Hamilton Rd in Haitaitai - hence the name. Originally we thought her a boy, but a vet check has proved otherwise, so "Lady" has been appended to the original name.

Fem-Cat Friday introduces Becky
- CataBlog
- Little 12 year old Becky came into the shelter as "Bungeye", having lost her right eye in a car accident when she was young. Becky3.jpg Our volunteers hated the name and felt that it focused on her physical issues rather than the lovely cat that she is. Normally we don't rename our cats, but so many people felt that her name just didn't do her justice that we've made an exception in this case.
