Viva managing editor Amanda Linnell shares highlights from today’s Viva magazine. Follow her hyperlinks below and be informed and inspired at viva.co.nz.
You would need a heart of steel to not fall in love with the four-legged stars of today's Viva - and their amazing owners and caregivers. Some of the most pampered cats in the country were photographed alongside model Derya Parlak at the NZ Cat Fancy National Show for this week's fashion shoot.
If you want to pamper your own pooch or puss, bid in our charity auction The Pet Project, which includes clothing, accessories and other special items donated by local designers and artists to raise money for the SPCA.
This week we're also featuring animals in need of adoption on the Viva Facebook and Instagram pages - they're hard to resist! Indeed, while scouting for furry talent at the Auckland SPCA, our fashion editor Dan Ahwa couldn't help but take home Phoebe the cat - see her and the rest of our beloved animals in the Viva team pets gallery.
Plus, this week eating out editor Jesse Mulligan reviews seafood restaurant Ika, the new Mt Eden establishment owned by former Internet-Mana Party leader Laila Harre.
