Lost long haired domestic tabby Kaiapoi. Christchurch
Missy has gone missing. She is not a wanderer and is in every morning and night and comes when called. We are really worried she is stuck somewhere and can’t get out, is hurt and hiding, or been chased and is now unable to find her way home.
• If you have a dog, she may have been chased and jumped over your fence and is now too scared to come out. Cats can hide and stay silent for days.
• Cats when chased or scared will often squeeze into the tiniest of gaps (people are often wonder how they got through) and then not be able to get out again.
• Its not uncommon for cats to travel several kilometres when lost and looking for home.
• She is unlikely to come out for anyone she doesn’t know, so searching for her is the most successful way we will find her. Please could you take 5 minutes, to check under bushes or trees in your garden, behind sheds, or in between walls, any small gaps and shine a torch under your house if there is access.
We are offering a reward for any information (good or bad) leading to her return and for your time and effort in helping us to locate Missy. Our family really misses her and we'd really like her home. Thanks for your help :)

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
