Cat Rescue

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks at Felines Friend. We have finally finished building the new outdoor play area for the cats. My special thanks and appreciation go to Stephen Coleman who single handedly built the area and made a secure place for our fosters. The area is approximately 10 square metres of running space. It has wood fences on 3 sides which the cats love to climb on and view the world. There is netting over the top with some roofing coming and concrete to roll on. The forth side is our house. There is a cat door leading to their inside area which was developed from a bedroom. There is also a tree to climb outside with plenty of leaves to play hide and seek with, balls and toys on the floor and a picnic table and chairs. Soon there will be climbing platforms and roofing so they can play outside in all seasons. There is a double layer of gates which makes entry and exit secure. The cats have been playing in it for about a week and are loving it already. Boundig around and rolling in the sunshine and tree climbing seem to be favourite exercises so far. They are also learning the cat door which will be great for keeping the room warm in winter but still allowing those who want to play outside the freedom they would like. Inside are cat beds and cat tree and also isolation crates for newcomers. This is also where they eat their meals. 3 cats now have homes. 2 6 month old kittens have been adopted and Max who is fiv positive has also been adopted into another home with an fiv positive cat. We still have 4 more cats in the shelter waiting for new homes. You can read about them in my previous posts and there pictures are available on our site. Maria is feeding 13 cats at 5 different locations on the streets right now and we want to help her bring them all in but we will need your help to do this. Please if you could spread the word to everyone you can think of so we don't miss possible home opportunities we would be very grateful. WE are trying to advertise our presence everywhere we can think of but word of mouth is a very powerful tool so we thank you for your help here also. Although the shelter is now built we are in debt to cover what we have paid out so please do keep donating. WE really appreciate your support. Please feel free to call me any time and ask about the cats we have so far. Call auckland 8337934. Thank you and purrs from Felines Friend.
