? Starting 25th January, SPCA is offering walk-in cat adoptions on Saturdays to help our feline friends find their forever homes. No appointment needed – just pop into the Centre every Saturday during opening hours until 15th March and meet your new furry companion.
*To speed things up for you on adoption day, apply online via any of the cat profiles for your local centre on www.spca.nz... so we have all your details ready to go. Dog, small animal and farm animal adoptions are still by appointment as not all are in the centre.
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for feijoas, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our March 2025 issue.

Police are investigating several recent reports of people being threatened or assaulted and money and possessions taken from them, when they’ve met with people posing as sellers of goods on social media. In an online environment, it can be difficult to verify the person you are dealing with has good intentions.
Police urge anyone buying/selling on these platforms to exercise caution and if you do experience aggressive behaviour, report it to Police.
Here are a number of suggestions to keep yourself safe:
- First and foremost, we recommend using a reputable online site to buy or sell items.
- If the trader insists on meeting at an unusual location to make a sale, be cautious. It may be that they are selling stolen items or don't want to be identified for some other reason.
- Equally, if purchasers are reluctant to meet in person or insist items are dropped off at a location, they may be avoiding being seen or identified.
- If you’re meeting in person, make sure you’re meeting in a public place and away from any alleyways or side streets where someone could quickly disappear into and don’t go alone.
- Check the social media profile of the seller. Is it a new profile or relatively blank? There's a chance it may be a fake profile, and are sometimes deleted after you’ve paid.
- If you are the seller, make sure the money is in your account before sending or handing off items.
- As the saying goes: if it is too good to be true, it probably is.
If you wish to report a scam, call 105, or report it with us online at www.police.govt.nz...
