Whanganui, Gonville
This is Lily Lockdown, newly arrived from Wellington with her people who live in Gonville. She has decided to explore Whanganui - on her own, all by her little self… and we are very worried!
She disappeared in the morning of Friday 15 January from a house in Heads Road, which is past the hospital going towards Castlecliff.
She is micro-chipped and we have ensured that she is registered at our new address on the database of lost animals. She has a slight tinge of ginger on her belly fur, is not yet one year old, and is a long-bodied cat. She’s very friendly - loves a head scratch - and is also a bit of a talker.
Please keep an eye out for her - and we would be most grateful if you could look in your garages, or in your sheds or other places that a silly kitty might be tempted to crawl into for a snooze.
Pet name: Lily
Gender: Female
Age: less than a year old

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
