Cat killed by roaming dog

Caitlin from Fairfield

Hi everyone

My beautiful cat Woody was mauled and killed by a roaming dog who entered our property at about 12am on Monday morning.

He was a beautiful, gentle, loving cat that we rescued from the Huntly Vets 9 years ago, along with his relative Guthrie. The dog was chocolate brown and possibly a boxer x. I saw the dog going down the driveway next door, belonging to a group of housing New Zealand properties.

My mother and I approached one of the houses, but they said their dogs didn't fit this description. They also didn't think anyone else around there owned a dog like this either. My mother contacted animal control today. My error was in leaving the gate open and not bringing him inside. I will always hold myself responsible for this.

We live in Peachgrove Road in Fairfield. Please keep an eye out for any roaming dogs and call animal control if you see them. Shut your gates and bring your animals inside. I don't want to happen to anyone else's precious pets.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.

Leaving Neighbourly

Orlando from Pukete

Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.

Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.

I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.

No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
