Coto and Pip are undeniably cute, but there are too many kittens like them needing homes, says Karma Andrews, a trustee of the Stratford Companion Animal Assistance Trust.
Karma says Coto and Pip are part of a group of five sisters, who are all looking for their forever homes inthe next few weeks.
"All five of them have strong personalities, making them each a perfect companion."
Since 2012 the trust has run a cat desexing programme in the Stratford District, offering eligible cat owners access to a substantial discount on the cost of having their pet cat desexed.
"This has only been possible through ongoing fundraising and donations," she says.
The Scratching Post has successfully rehomed hundreds of kittens throughout the year and will continue to do so.
"However it's important cat owners try to do their bit as well. Desexing your cat is the best way to help reduce the number of unwanted kittens. In a year an unfixed cat can have 15 kittens."
The discounted cat desexing scheme is available to cats belonging to people living in the Stratford and South Taranaki district.
