Fun Events at Neko Ngeru
Cat Assisted Yoga is continuing on Tuesday evenings and Thursday afternoons fortnightly. Please check our events page on Facebook or bookings link to see when the next classes are. The cats assist at their own pleasure so we cannot guarantee what they will do but they...
Inky talks about Cat Etiquette
Greeting Humans, Now that I’m an adult, I guess I should adopt a more serious tone and deal with a somewhat difficult topic: politeness. Not everyone knows that we cats care about protocol and formality. We like our routines and appreciate it when humans comply with...
Inky Tells All
Greetings Humans! Inky here again. It has been far too long since the last letter to you, so I am taking over from Cait Sith. In case you were wondering, she is okay. Just busy with new kittens to train. Or, at least, that is her excuse. How hard can kittens be,...
Euthanizing and End of Life Care: Making the Hard Choices
Yesterday's (November 7, 2018) presentation at the NZCAR meeting provoked a lot of ideas for the cafe and memories of Madara and Mao who passed away in Shanghai. Madara, our tortie girl, was 15 when she got sick. We were trying to feed her and she choked, dying in our...
Artist Exhibition Coming Soon!
We have wanted to have local artists exhibit their work at Neko Ngeru from the beginning. Finally, we have been able to organise ourselves so we can feature one of our muralists. Let us introduce the artist who will exhibit from our anniversary in November through...
Inky Spills the Beans

Cait Sith Shares About the Cats’ Health
Greetings Humans! The months keep getting harder at Neko Ngeru Cat Adoption Café. There have been very few customers and the café cats keep getting sick. They even had to close the café for a few days to let the cats recover. I try to keep up Ken and Richelle’s...
Cait Sith Introduces the New Cats at Neko Ngeru
Greetings Humans! It was another tough month at Neko Ngeru. We did not have as many customers as we’d hoped in the school holidays and we only had six cats in the café until the end of July. Ken and Richelle really did appreciate the customers who came in to support...
Cat Flu Again?
We have another case of cat flu in the cafe. Nox was diagnosed on Thursday the 5th of July so we have isolated him at Ken and Richelle's home. He is doing well and taking his antibiotics like a trencher. He still loves to cuddle, so being apart from everyone most of...
Cait Sith Says Thank You!
Greetings Humans Many of you have come to the café so Richelle and Ken are feeling grateful. Inky says that all the cats are working very hard, although I suspect he is working hard on his sleeping techniques. I came to supervise the cats a few times last month—they...
