DO YOU KNOW THESE KITTENS!
GOOD NEWS. 5 DAYS LATER THE 5th KITTEN IS BACK WITH ITS SIBLINGS. Just in time before the rain came.
To The Kitten Owner
Who, after caring (using that term loosely) for your 5? kittens for about 8 weeks decided to dump them in a bushy corner of Normandale Road.
(Apologies if these kittens were actually 'lost' but the nature of where we are finding them, we came to the conclusions they were recently dumped. They have been supplied food in the bush and cared for once they have been caught and can now be found at the Petone vets.)
Back to the first assumption.
For the time it took you to drive up Normandale road, you could have dropped them at the vets /pet shop or a local cat rescue and that would be the end of the story.
But nooooo.
Instead you chose to dump them!
You disrupted 5 people's dinner that night that cared enough for your kittens to go home and eat at 10pm before heading back out to try to catch some more of your kittens.
Now 8 different people over 2 nights and days so far have been trying to catch them.
We had a lovely resident supply cat food at 10pm at night after we caught the first 2 (they were starving), plus a late night trip to the supermarket for kitty litter and more food supplies.
Some of the people aren't even cat lovers that are looking for your kittens. They like animals and don't want to risk a kitten becoming feral in an environment we share with a lot of native bird and lizard life, or it becoming a Tom cat and annoying the neighbours family cats.
4 very friendly kittens have now been caught and dropped down to the Petone Vet clinic where they will get the love and care needed before being rehomed.
We are pretty sure at least one kitten still remains in the bush.
Next time, please think of others and your kittens and take them to a proper place to rehome.
Kind regards
Residents of Normandale Road.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
