First blog from the HUHA apprentice

10/04/11

This week Carolyn was on a course learning equine assisted therapy ('horse therapy'). It is going to be great when we can apply this in our community to troubled youth, i am really excited about it! We have also re-homed a turtle to a lovely home where he is going to be very spoilt and loved :-), they have named him Rio. Two cats arrived yesterday from Christchurch to be re-homed. One of the cats is such a trooper, she was found floating in the river in Christchurch. She has been on a plane ride to Wellington, long car ride from the airport to PekaPeka and she is still a sweet purring cat!!! They are both very cute cats. 'Splash' (the trooper), is female, black and white, desexed, about 6 months old and very friendly and inquisitive. The other one, "Teddy", is a gorgeous big male cat, desexed, ginger and white, 2 - 3 years old and a very affectionate cat. He has a very soft thick coat, i could have easily stayed all day cuddling him. Typical me, i forgot to take photos of our new cats. I will ask Angie and Sam, who have been doing an awesome job advertising and re-homing our first lot of Christchurch cats, to take photos. Keep an eye out on our adoption page i will try and update it some time early this week.

If you, or anyone you know, would like a new addition to the family please contact us.
