Auckland Woman Offers Reward for Missing Cat
Rosemary Stout is heartbroken.
Her beloved cat River has been missing from Torbay on Auckland's North Shore since November 28.
"It just cut me right up," Stout said after her micro-chipped pet vanished from Cliff Rd.
Stout is offering a $1000 reward for information leading to the safe return of the cat which she bred and raised for six years.
She describes the blue point Siamese as a character which is "more like a dog."
"I'd go to bed, he'd cuddle up to me and put his paw on my chest. He's just really, really special."
Stout has plastered posters and delivered pamphlets around Auckland in search of the cherished pet.
Torbay residents helped her scour the cliff with drones incase the cat had become stuck.
River's disappearance comes as a crushing blow after "a hell of a year," she said.
Stout's daughter, 50, has been battling cancer for the past three years and endured major surgery to remove cancer just before Christmas.
"It's like I live with a time bomb," Stout said. " You wonder each month,' is my daughter going to be here next year?'
"On top of it all, I ended up with breast cancer. I lost my brother as well."
Stout suspects River may have moved out of the area because he is partial to tradies' vans, she said.
"He liked to get in and rip up all the paper (bills) that they have inside.
"I just want him home."
Email roseken@xtra.co.nz if you have any information about River's whereabouts.
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Lost cat - Mt Eden
Still missing my girl 😔
Evie is a 14 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.
Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.
She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).
She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.
Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.
Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏
