Someone was climbing up my knees in the dark so I had to flash photograph to find out who the culprit was

Brothers being brothers!

Technically they’re still kittens but they’re both bigger than my baby, Giles.

Hello cat loving friends!!

Just wanting to reach out to everyone who sees this and loves cats and wants to help a wonderful small business in New Zealand out. Whether you can donate or even if you can’t, a share would mean the world!

Purrs & Beans is a social enterprise - meaning all profits go back into the cafe to look after the cats and keep it running. Run by two wonderful humans, Shane and Faith-Ashleigh.

Purrs & Beans have been running for almost a decade in Auckland. They first started out in the Auckland cbd as Barista Cats. Then made the move across the bay to Birkenhead where they found a wonderful new space and rebranded as Purrs & Beans.

Sadly due to a drop in patronage they’ve hit a little bit of a rough patch, and need a bit of a leg up. The reality of having a cat cafe is there’s bills. Vet bills and other bills. Purrs & Beans cats are all a little older bar a couple of newly adopted by the cafe cats. And some have additional needs or were deemed harder to adopt.

I have been lucky enough to visit the cafe when I have visited Auckland and the cats are so well cared for and loved. Have many spaces to relax in, including an enclosed balcony area so they can go outside. Plus they can retreat to a space where visitors can’t access if they want to be left alone.

Purrs & Beans is truly a wonderful place run by wonderful people who I’ve also met when I have visited. They really want to keep the business running especially given they’re so close to hitting 10yrs. And they want to keep spreading the message of adopting cats from shelters - they also foster cats and kittens from some rescues around Auckland to help the cats get socialised and meet people!

So again, if you are able to donate please do click the link above and you can even leave a message on your donation. - or make it anonymously. Please do note that the donation will be charged in NZD (New Zealand dollars) and when you pledge you won’t be charged right away. Your card only gets charged if the campaign reaches its goal on the 30th of April at 11pm NZST (I believe the pledge me site charges within a couple of days of the goal being met if it’s met so you might not be charged until a couple of days into May)

This campaign is an all or nothing campaign and they only will get the money if the goal is met. So please. If you’re in a place to donate I know Shane and Faith-Ashleigh, along with their gorgeous cafe kitties, would greatly appreciate it. If you can’t, then please please share this far and wide so others may be able to help!

In accordance with sacred cat law, I cannot do my laundry until after he has moved on his own accord.

I locked the babies in my bedroom because they were running and zigzagging for the Xtienth time today and Marcel was getting stressed out, and because they had just eaten anyway and I know Kotelet doesn't like to hang out with them when they're going wild either, I let her stay in the living room, thinking she'd complain when she wanted to go back to them, and instead she's just very actively and passionately participating in the communal nap, big fan of Baby Containment clearly

We foster cats and we’ve just unexpectedly had a mama land with FOUR KITTENS 🙀😻 who I’ve (somewhat unsurprisingly) named Eddie, Steve, Robbie and Nance. Meet Eddie and Steve, recreating the boathouse scene from Stranger Things S4…

my newest foster, georgia o’keefe bush. i found her in a bush on 9/11, so george bush. she’s a girl, so georgia bush. her middle name is o’keefe after the artist georgia o’keefe who is known for painting suspiciously vaginal landscapes. my finest work naming a baby.
