When we heard a cat screaming out at 10.15pm, we rushed through the shelter to see who was so upset... but all of the waifs were calm.

The loud and desperate call increased, so we checked outside... and there was Tiger... rushing into our arms, smelling of musty rags, with sunken haunches and full of loving cuddles and head-bunts. His upset digestion is normalising now... along with our aching hearts.

Thank you so much to everyone in the community who rushed into action with us when Tiger became the first cat to ever chew and squeeze his way through wire to become lost.

Pages Design & Print immediately created and printed 2,000 "Lost Cat" flyers which wonderful volunteers quickly distributed to letterboxes and noticeboards; social media got behind the search with thousands of shares; vet clinics, libraries, shopkeepers and members of the public had us setting our traps and checking out unknown cats all over the North Shore.

With so much cat hatred across the country, it has been heartwarming to see cat lovers come out in force for Tiger.

Huge thanks to you all - for every Facebook like and share, every kind word, every text and phone call, and every flyer taped to a fridge or pantry door for reference in homes across East Coast Bays. You are a formidable team... and we are deeply grateful for your support.

We are seeking a great and understanding home for Sassy where she will be the only beloved animal companion; a place where she will receive plenty of attention, warmth and company... and never be caged again.

Sassy would enjoy a good sized, securely fenced property and the freedom to roam indoors or outdoors as she wishes.

She is an affectionate 6-year-old Staffy x Boxer who is now spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and registered.

After years of lonely imprisonment, Sassy has waited her entire life for a kind and wonderful home - so we are very excited about taking her to meet applicants. Sassy is currently living in Auckland.

If you have questions or would like to be considered for Sassy's adoption, we look forward to your e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thank you.

Introducing 10-month-old Billie who captures the heart of all she meets - human and canine.

This little girl weighs about 20kg and loves to run, play and cuddle... or perhaps she likes to cuddle, run and play. Billie will be just as happy exploring new environments with you as she will be sitting at a cafe or snuggling into you on a couch.

Due to her companionable nature, we are looking for a home where Billie will seldom be alone and where she will be taken to a series group dog training classes. She will also need to be provided with daily outings, exercise and lots of loving touch.

Billie (and her brother and sister) are currently in Auckland. If she sounds like the dog for you or your family, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
