At 10.30 pm last night Sat 1st December I was driving down Fergusson drive from Upper Hutt towards Trentham.
Just before I past McHardie Street I saw a cat lying on the side of the road. I pulled over to find this absolutely gorgeous and well looked after ginger cat injured. I can only assume hit by a car and left 😡. We scooped him/her up and myself and my husband rang around to find an emergency vet to take him/her too but unfortunately on route he/she passed away. I just can stop thinking that a family out there will be wondering where the gorgeous cat has gone and I wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows of anyone in the Trentham area who can’t find their cat.
If you do please do let me know all I can say is their cat was not alone when he/she passed I was cuddling him/her in my arms talking and kissing him/her.
We’re so grateful to all the generous sorts who’ve chipped in to get us here. So, let’s lose the gifts… and turn our big day into a celebration with the nation.
For every $10 donated from you, Spark Foundation will give $10 too – up to a grand total of $10,000 across all 10 charities.

Working with habitat design experts, we’ve incorporated more climbing structures, hammocks and ropes than ever! These features aim to improve the Chimps wellbeing and encourage natural behaviours through environmental complexity.
There’s also a new immersive glass viewing area to help people connect with the Chimps and a new children’s playground, inspired by Chimps and how they play. Come to hang with the Chimps at Wellington Zoo for the grand opening of the Chimp Park and learn how you can make a difference to Chimpanzees in the wild.
