Anyone know who it belongs to? Seems friendly (except with other cats). It is badly in need of medical attention for its eyes. Been around for a month or so. Has really bad conjunctivitis so I will try to catch him/her this week and take to Carevets-Glen Eden if nothing changes by Friday.
UPDATE: caught this kitty this evening as the eyes are much worse. Keeping the kitty safe, warm and fed. Will contact SPCA in the morning. Will update again once I know what is happening. S/he must belong to someone as s/he is very affectionate. Please message if you know who s/he might belong to.
Update 2 Nov: This young man is now being treated by the vet before being collected by the SPCA.

If counting sheep just isn’t cutting it, maybe it’s time to let music do the magic. Calming tunes can slow your breathing, melt away stress, and gently guide your mind into dreamland.
Try winding down tonight with some soft classical, ambient, or instrumental tunes — you might just snooze faster than you think! And of course, a cozy bed makes it even better.
Curious how music truly affects your sleep?

Members of the public are asked to report any sightings of suspected hornets or hornet nests online at report.mpi.govt.nz or by calling Biosecurity New Zealand’s exotic pest and disease hotline on 0800 809 966.
