Need some advice on cats?
I’ve worked for almost a decade in a cat shelter environment, helping and rehabilitating homeless cats and kittens. In that time the cats of New Zealand have taught me so much about how they think and act. Cat adopters are always asking for advice or what to do about a certain cat situation, and with the internet being full of international cat websites it can be difficult to know if the advice you are finding is even relevant to cats in New Zealand!
NZCats aims to be the “go to” advice resource for the cat-slaves of New Zealand.
