The silver tabby with huge green eyes staring through the bars of her cage at the SPCA in Mangere wants a new owner - and a new name.
The 10-month-old domestic short-hair was given to the SPCA early this month by a family who had cared for her for two weeks after finding her as a stray in Mt Roskill.
"She is really happy to be cuddled," said Craig Montgomery from the SPCA.
Adopting an older cat is a great option for people who don't have time to train or play with a kitten.
* To adopt this cat, or another animal in need, contact your local SPCA. The cat's identification number at the Animal Village, Mangere, is 106336.
