Bring Oscar Home.
Oscar was found yesterday, but we sadly had to have him euthanised as it appears he’d been hit by a car. PLEASE have your pets chipped and registered at the local vets at the very least. That’s how we were located by the vet so we’re able to spend Oscar’s last little while with him. He’d travelled from Kuratawhiti Street to the Hire Shop on the corner of Bidwells Cutting Road...without the chip, we would never have known.
This is a likeness of Oscar who we adopted on Sunday 5 July from my son’s family in Hastings. He is darker tabby, with a large black spot on his nose. Unfortunately in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the 7th, he managed to escape from his secure crate and take off from 104 Kuratawhiti Street.
Hopefully he’s not trying to get back to Hastings.
We are desperate to get our boy back. My heart breaks to think of him out there in the cold, thinking no one loves him.
Please call me on 0272451908 or 06 3048923 if you have any news. $100 reward for his safe return.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
