Bud is a loving cat looking for a home.

Bud is a loving cat looking for a home.

Whangarei SPCA always has lots of cute animals in need of new homes.

To help them find a loving family, our Pet of the Week feature includes details of one SPCA animal up for adoption each week and an SPCA tip for animal care.

Bud

Bud is a handsome four-year-old desexed male cat.

He is a polydactyl cat, meaning he has extra toes.

When he came into the SPCA he had a badly damaged eye which had to be removed before he could be re-homed.

It has healed well and doesn't worry him. He loves cheek rubs and being patted, talked to and stroked.

Bud is a loving cat who will make a great companion for a home with older children.

His tip: By keeping your cat inside at night you help to keep them safe on the roads and from roaming animals.
