Henry

DOB: November 2017

Henry is really quite the charmer! He’s a big sweetie who gives adorable head boops and face smooches. He loves to be around people and is well known for picking his favourites to smother in smooches. He gives the best snuggles but he’s just as likely to perk up and play like a wee kitten. He’s very relaxed and laid back and is super loving and gentle with our other cats! 

Gizmo

DOB: November 2017

Gizmo is a friendly girl who loves a good chin scratch! She was born with a congenital deficiency in her legs with some hip dysplasia so you’ll notice she looks very bow legged from behind! Because of this she is not very good at jumping but she loves to climb and play just like any other cat. She takes awhile to warm up to new people but once you win her over, she is incredibly affectionate! She’s a very curious and adventurous girl and you will often see her trying to escape into the cafe area!

Susie

DOB: March 2018

Susie is a super cute and very clever kitty with a lovely friendly nature. She’s very smoochy and affectionate, and loves to greet people as they come through the door. She adores company and attention, and is always eager for pats and someone to play with. She is very energetic and loves toys of any kind. Once you get her going, it may be awhile before she tires herself out!

Holmes

DOB: March 2018

Holmes is an absolute star! He’s an affectionate cutie who loves attention and pats. He will often jump up on his back legs for smooches if you hold your hand above him and he loves to jump on people’s shoulders. Full of energy and very playful, he loves making new friends and is always the first one to greet us when we arrive at the cafe each day. He also likes to nibble on fingers affectionately and occasionally even on the nose!

Oscar was a very special wee dude and one of the first cats to come to Catnap. He was born with a neurological condition called cerebellar hypoplasia which affected his fine motor skills and coordination. As well as this, he had an unknown genetic condition which affected his growth and development.

Oscar came to us with his brother Leo all the way from Whitianga, where they were rescued, and became one of our resident cats. He spent a wonderful six months with us, adored by everyone who met him. Unfortunately his health issues worsened and although we did everything we could to save him, he sadly passed away in January 2019.

Oscar had so much love from so many people during his life at Catnap and we are so happy that we were able to be a part of that. From his rescuer, his fosterer, our staff and customers, his brother Leo and all the other cats at Catnap who looked after him so well, he had so much love.

Oscar made such a big impression on everyone who met him and brought people together in a way that only a small wobbly cat could. We really feel that Oscar created a community here at Catnap and embodied all that we want Catnap to be.

We always knew it was possible his time with us might be short but we are so glad that we had the time with him that we did.

Oscar had a special place in many people’s hearts and we feel so grateful that, although he got dealt a pretty rough hand in life, we were able to fill it with so much love. Knowing Oscar and seeing the positivity and happiness he brought people at Catnap meant so much to us and he will never be forgotten ❤️
