We recently lost our cat, and were looking for the perfect pet to make our family whole again. We initially adopted Nugget (renamed Zeke) and made the journey down to Rotorua to pick him up. But upon arriving at the Centre, we saw him snuggled up to Gizmo, and there was no way we could separate them. So we adopted Gizmo as well, and they've both made our family whole again. They've settled in well over the last 2 weeks, getting along with the other cats and the dog. And the goats!
