Missing cat from Huapai Triangle/ Kumeu area
***MISSING CAT - HuapaiTriangle - STILL MISSING*** He will be scared, he's good with us, but generally nervous of those he doesn't know. Our house doesn't feel like s home without our boy.
Can everyone please keep an eye out for our cat Batman, missing from Babos Avenue. We recently moved to Babos, but were on Lumbarda Drive before. He will likely be scared. Could be in someone's garage or shed, hoping he didn't get into a car. He's about 8 years old, neutered, black with a small patch of white on his chest & small bit of white between his back legs on his tummy. Microchipped & on the NZCAR. Highly unusual for him to not come back for food or when called. He's on special vet diet food as he can get blocked bladder. If you've seen him, please let me know, we love him dearly and are very worried about him. Thank you. Rebecca 027 4621066.
