Remember the sweet pair of seniors, Ned and Sooty, who were facing a lethal injection unless care was offered for them?
They are thriving in their lovely foster home as you will see in the photos, but the space is needed to save other death row cats.
Please contact us if you are able to offer these senior boys a lovely safe retirement home. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Trustee Paul is pictured with volunteers Jess and Imogen... after processing the much-needed and much appreciated donation.
What a heart-warming response when Vernie and Buddy went missing from Sanders Reserve on Friday. Our supporters were absolutely amazing!
Within minutes, Animal Management, dog pounds and vet clinics were alerted. Posters and flyers were created and put on walls, in letterboxes and handed to the public. Doors were knocked on, phone calls were made to borrow drones, e-mails sent and 58 people shared our Facebook plea in a flash. A search party was organised at the park while other individuals scoured nearby areas.
Eight hours later, when Buddy and Vernie came sloshing through the mud, miles from Sanders Reserve, everyone was overjoyed.
The boys passed their vet checks, were bathed, fed and settled into bed - absolutely exhausted. Thank you so much to Imogen and Gareth for taking care of them in these ways once they were safe.
There are too, too many of you to name, but we know who you all are and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for rushing to prevent a potential disaster.
The photo shows Vernie and Buddy, soon after their rescue, with some ecstatic members of one of their search parties. They are back to their usual energetic selves and hoping for a home with people who will also love them to pieces...
Many thanks to Tanya's ARTelier for retouching the very blurred photo so skilfully.

UPDATE: After eight hours Missing in Action, Buddy and Vernie came running across the mudflats at Chatham Reserve with mud all over their bodies. Vernie is covered in scratches and has a cut on his hind paw and both are now on their way to the vet for assessment. More news later!
No wonder we protest at rodeos!
Please boycott these cowardly shows. Don't fund this terrifying and brutal animal abuse disguised as 'entertainment'.
This footage was taken at the Whangarei rodeo two weeks ago while we joined a peaceful demonstration outside the arena.
