Of the five kittens rescued by Gayle Ferguson in New Zealand (they were abandoned in a cardboard box in a petrol station), three have now been adopted. Jerry Coyne and Poppy were adopted in the last ten days, and yesterday Molly was adopted as well.
According to Gayle, Molly will be going to a new home in Orewa (north of Auckland) at the end of this week, Poppy will go during the week, and then a week from today Jerry the Cat flies to his new home in Christchurch.
Here’s the picture of Molly that Gayle had on her spiffy flyer that advertised the kittens.
Three down, two to go (Isis and Hoover).
Tomorrow we’ll have a special treat: three movies of Jerry Coyne, including Jerry and the Precious, Parts I and II.
Good to hear the little kitties are getting homes!
Maybe people are afraid that Hoover will hoover them out of house and home:-)
It makes me wish that1) I was in New Zealand2) I wasn’t allergic to cats
Kittens are so cute, cats (other than Mayhem) make me want to die.

You might sometimes want to use the second official name of New Zealand, Aotearoa. That’s the Maori term for the two main islands and the outlying islands.
It roughly translates as “Long White Clouds Place” but no one is really sure whether that refers to the long summer days outside the tropics or the Magellenic Clouds, which were a navigation aid to the Polynesians.
