Tagging a bunch of people who I can remember live close, but please boost and help us settle on a date!

Kia Ora all. Does anyone in #LowerHutt or #Wellington want a few tins of cat food and some biscuits? Going free to a good home.

Sadly our elderly puss passed away yesterday.

Edit: put them on our local community giveaway shelf.

Awoooooooga awwwwwooga! Camera House in Lower Hutt apparently have darkroom gear they're giving away.

Cat-lovers of Lower Hutt and the Wellington region! Do you know of any homes looking for a cat? Because here is a cat looking for a home.

We'd love to keep her, but unfortunately Salix just can't cope with having another cat in the house. She really needs a home where she can be the only cat, and that's not something we can provide.

Her issues with catmates aside, she's timid but a real sweetie once she's got to know you. Loves skritches, bellyrubs, and surveilling the neighbourhood from a comfy windowsill.

She's fully vaccinated, desexed, chipped, litterbox trained, and kind to soft furnishings. She'd suit a quiet household (no dogs or small kids), perhaps especially someone who's out a lot but doesn't want a pet who'll get distressed being on their own. Salix is comfortable with her own company but will also welcome yours (especially if you have food).

Know someone who needs a Salix in their life? Send us a message!

Anyone in #LowerHutt #HuttValley need a kitten? My neighbour in Moera has three little tuxedo babies looking for homes.

Wastewater discharge?
In 2025?
Unbelievable!

#LowerHutt #Wellington

Not fair! 😭
The weather is finally supposed to be better the next couple of days but all #LowerHutt and a number of #Wellington beaches are deemed unsafe for swimming for the next 48 hours due to wastewater discharges:
