Bird needs a new home

A friend of ours took in a cockateil someone found a few months ago, unfortunatly as they are leaving the country soon so they asked us to help find Bird a new forever home. Bird is a male white and yellow cockateil. It is unknowen how old he is. He has a very friendly nature and will happily sit on your shoulder or just hang out in the room you are in.

Westmere cats

Last week we were contacted by a person in westmere asking for assistance in rehoming some kittens. We went to check them out assuming that their might be another cat colony on our hands but found 6 very fluffy kittens 2 of which already had homes. We got them all desexed the next day and found 2 homes already, one home is by someone who desexed them and fell in love with one the other home hasnt decided which one out of the remaining 3 yet.

Neeko/Smudges (already has a home)



Winston still needs a home. Winston is a 4 month old male, he is desexed, deflead and wormed. He has been socialized very well and is super friendly. He has green eyes and a black splotch on his nose.

Bubbles is a 4 month old male who is desexed, deflead and wormed. He is the smallest of the litter. His name definitely reflects his personality. He has been socialized really well and is very friendly and affectionate. He is mainly white with light grey patches and green eyes.

Two face is a very fluffy black and white female with brown eyes, very friendly and affectionate. She has been desexed deflead and wormed. The photos don’t really show her fluffyness and brown eyes that well.

If you or anyone you know can provide a home for these kittens please contact :

Catching and De-sexing the Mt Roskill Cats

Last week we caught and desexed all three of the Mt Roskill cats. They were pretty easily to catch really; we got them all in the same night.

The family who are keeping the cats have named them Lacey (the mum), Sally (the fluffy grey girl) and Huckles (the black male).


We are going to return the two girls tomorrow and the boy in a few days. Unfortunately no one has seen the kittens again.

Cat Adoption Drive

This Saturday we met with other people who manage cat colonies in Auckland and held a small adoption drive in Onehunga.

We took a couple of cats from our respective colonies in cages and put them outside the Foodtown in Onehunga with a stall. Many people came up to look at the cats and we used this as a chance to explain where the cats came from and that we trying to find them all homes.

A few of the cats received some interest and will possibly get homes from this adoption drive soon.

Willies Sub-cut Fluids

I just wanted to post this picture of me giving Willie her sub-cut fluids so you have some idea of what happens. Basically a needle is put inserted under the skin and a saline solution is injected. At the moment she is having 60ml every day to keep her hydrated.

Willie Seems Much Better

I took Willie to the vet last week because she was not eating. The vet said that she had lost a little weight but was 'ok'. It was not as bad of an outcome as what I thought it would be; he gave her an apatite stimulant and anti-nausea medicine and if she said had that she should eat.

It was much better than what I thought the outcome would be.

She has been on her medication for a few days now and I am very happy to say that she has been eating (she especially likes Jimbos - gross).

I will keep you updated.

Splotches Not Out of the Woods Yet!

Splotches (or Willie as we now call her) came home over the long weekend and was doing well after having spent the week at the vet being hydrated and having the toxins flushed from her body. Below are pictures from when I went to visit her in the hospital.

Over the weekend she was not eating a great deal and when we took her to the vet on Tuesday she had lost 150 grams and now only weighs 2.15 kgs. When she came home from the vet she ate quite a bit but yesterday and today she has not really eaten anything and I am really quite concerned about her.

Last night I had to give Willie subcut fluids for the first time to keep her hydrated. These fluids are administered under the skin by a needle. It was not actually too hard giving them to her by myself.

She is going back to the vet tonight to see if there is any reason why she is not eating and if there is anything we can do. I suspect that the toxins may be building up again. I really really hope not cos I do not know if there would be anything further we could do to help her.

Fingers crossed!
