Please Adopt Me!
Hello, my name is Tōkena, Toki for short, I live in Omokoroa and I need a new safe place to live.
My name means socks! I am a tuxedo American Shorthair, with a pink nose and pink and black toes. I've already had kittens when I was younger and have been desexed. I am in great health.
I'm sweet and like to talk to you, and though I am not a lap cat I will follow you around the house to be in whichever room you are in. Once I settle into my new home I would like forehead pets and belly rubs, and I especially like Temptation treats. I am easy to train, and know how to sit for treats and follow clicks of fingers to points of interest.
I am four years old, my birthday is Christmas, and fully house trained. Though I love to be high in windows, I prefer to be outside in the sun and to chase worms in storms. I also like to cuddle closer in winter.
If you are interested in giving me a nice safe place to live please contact my current owner Kat at her email with details about yourself and home at squeeblekins@gmail.com or 0210627622.
Toki doesn't have an adoption price, but if you would like all of her items too, I can sell them in a bundled price.

‘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
