Communications Team from Auckland Council

Here’s what the experts had to say.

Please help! We have THE most lovely natured, mature cats, who we took on about 9 months ago. They were young rescue cats and had a lovely situation on a lifestyle block down South, with a couple from Wales for 7 years.

Bentley (tabby with white front) and Minou (black with white) are beautiful souls, friendly and they are siblings so it would be great to keep them together.

We had a home lined up for them but it was delayed for months as the lady was waiting for a house to be built. Sadly she then had a health issue and a big set back so that opportunity was lost.

They are really lovely cats and we feel very sad for them as they have been cooped up so long.

We tried putting them out into the sanctuary but Minou, in particular, just hid away and Bentley didn’t look happy at all, so we put them back into their own space. We have since, had to put 2 very young cats in with them and they were fine, so we think it was just the number of cats that was overwhelming for them.

They desperately need some open space of their own, which was what they were used to. If you have a large garden or lifestyle block and can help we would love to hear from you!

Please email me in the first instance.

We can guarantee you will love these two cats and they really deserve a loving home after waiting so long.

The NZCF have an amazing facility where they are currently taking care of over 150 rescued cats and are at full capacity. They are always looking for reliable volunteers to help with the running of The Cat Sanctuary. Please check out their website www.thenzcatfoundation.org.nz...... or contact me for more information.

We would really appreciate your help! :)
Thank you
Sharon
