A Cat week

I have exciting news, well I am excited anyway. HUHA is taking on native bird rescue. We already rehabilitate native birds; they get treated at the Wellington zoo then come to us. We do a fantastic job; we have a very high success rate at rehabilitation. We respond to calls from the community, pick up and transport to and from the Wellington Zoo, we were already doing this but now it is official. We are still in the early stages of setting this up, so far it is just me, Carolyn and Jim but we are hoping to get more volunteers and have a roster system so no one is over worked. If anyone wants to be a native bird taxi in the greater Wellington area please call HUHA 526 3630.
This week we desexed, vaccinated and microchipped all the Christchurch kittens that weren’t already done. The kittens were too small to do when we were doing the others. Sam did a great job socialising the kittens; they are very cute, very friendly and of course all looking for new homes. We are down to only a few Christchurch cats; we have 3 cats and 5 kittens left.
Plus we have rescued 11 cats that were living in an overcrowded situation. Their ages range from 6 months to 8 years. I love hanging out in the cat room with them, they are great cats. However, the cats aren’t quite ready to be re-homed; a couple of them have an upset stomach from the stress of living in an overcrowded area. We will hold on to them until it clears up, when they are ready to be re-homed I will put photos up. We have set up a cat room at the sanctuary. It is very cool, we have places for them to climb and explore.
Also we rescued a morepork, a seagull, a thrush and a puppy. They are all doing very well.
The two white bunnies we rescued a while back have been re-homed to a great home where they will be loved and spoilt.
