Sixteen-year-old Phoenix Bright-Young with Lucky the cat and Bay Bush Action trustee Craig Salmon.
Bay Bush Action would like to clarify some [points] in a pamphlet and a petition going around our community regarding the Paihia Cat Colony.
A meeting was held by Far North District Council (FNDC), attended by the SPCA, Bay Bush Action and a community board representative, to discuss the homeless
Paihia cat colony and the temporary feeding station.
After numerous invitations, the Paihia Cat Protection group (PCP), which feeds stray and nuisance cats, refused to come to the meeting to discuss the issue.
After weeks of surveillance, FNDC has established that there are only two of the original homeless cats from the colony remaining.
Other cats, both domestic and nuisance, turn up to the feeding station on occasions because, predictably, when you put food out for cats, you get cats.
