Loving home needed for beautiful little Tinkerbell....
Hello neighbours,
I am moving to Australia and need to find a very special new mummy/family for my beautiful little Tinkerbell. This is a heartbreaking decision for me, as I was hoping to take her with me, however, given her temperament, I believe it would be best for her to remain here in NZ.
Tinkerbell is still a cute little fluffy at approx. 3.5yrs. She appeared out of the bush whilst I was living on a farm, in Warkworth in the middle of nowhere, and must have only been around 6-7wks old. Tinkerbell is still very cute and small but has a big personality, though is very shy. Once she trusts she is very affectionate and loves to play, especially hide and seek, so would love being around someone with a playful nature. She is used to being part of a large cat family as she was number 7 when she found me.
Tinkerbell does need company of at least one other cat as she loves playing, so preferably one who is energetic/fun to hang out with. I am not sure how she would interact with dogs or young children but she is sensitive to noise so a quieter household may be more suitable. She is quite the explorer and spends a lot of time in the bush (her safe place), up trees and under buildings, so finding a home with access to bush/trees is a must for her. She likes to have her escape routes and hiding places for observing.
I have no idea where she came from but she has been a real gift. I would love to rehome Tinkerbell with Possum if possible (see separate post), but it is not absolutely necessary. If you or someone you know may be interested in adopting Tinkerbell I would love to hear from you.
Thank you for reading.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
You are never alone
This year, I was given news that took the wind right out of this solo mum’s stomach: I was diagnosed with two types of curable breast cancer. Even writing those words still feels surreal.
I’ve recently completed five rounds of radiation, and while that chapter has closed, my journey is far from over. I now take daily medication — which, if I’m honest, comes with its own wild rollercoaster of highs and lows — along with monthly injections and six-monthly IV infusions.
All of this while raising two incredible, energetic tween boys who are full of wonder, life, and light. They have been my anchors on the darkest days and my reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
I’m sharing this because, in the New Year, I want to create a support group for anyone walking this path — no matter where you are on your journey. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, finished treatment, or supporting someone you love.
Let’s build a village.
A place to lean, to cry, to laugh, to talk openly, and to remind each other that none of us have to do this alone.
Because the story doesn’t end when they tell you you’re “in the clear.”
In many ways, it’s just the beginning. 🌻
If this story touches your heart, and you’re on this journey too, feel free to message me. Even a quiet “me too” is enough...
