Thursday August 10 2023 5 Bid to stop ‘harmful cat feeder’ • By Anastasia Hedge RESIDENTS IN Papanui, Bryndwr and Bishopdale are calling for intervention from police, SPCA and their local MP to stop a woman they say is harming their pets. The group of cat owners have tracked the woman they have called the “local harmful cat feeder”. Seven-year-old cat Tabs is now on steroids after a case of vomiting left him severely underweight in December. He was ordered onto a strict diet, but owner Sara said it was proving tough when a cat feeder had been dishing out questionable cat food in her neighbourhood for years. “I know she’s fed my cat potato chips because he was vomiting daily. We had to put him in the bathroom at night because it’s easier to clean up. Just last week, he vomited up crinkle cuts and we don’t have crinkle cut chips in the house.” Videos and photos show a woman carrying bags of food and putting it on leaves or junk mail outside and inside people’s properties. She has also been seen grooming cats with a brush and in one video appearing to take a cat from underneath a fence. Sara said she had asked the woman to stop feeding her cat, but she continued to put food out every day. FOUL FOOD: Seven-year-old cat Tabs is on steroids after a case of vomiting left him severely underweight in December. He may have been eating the food scattered outside and inside people’s properties. “I usually see her on my street between 10am and 11am so I put him out after 2pm and someone else’s poor cat has eaten up the food.” Another resident, Sharmaine, said her cat, Lucky, ate food the woman had laid out and on the same day became very unwell and had to be put down. She said she could not prove the woman’s food caused him to get sick, but she was not taking any chances with her other cat Phoebe. “She’ll stand outside and click her fingers, like ‘come on’, trying to encourage my other cat outside and I look at her like ‘don’t even think about it’. I can’t even say anything, without being so, not hateful, just very angry and frustrated.” Kate, like Sara and Sharmaine, said she had asked the woman repeatedly to stop feeding her cat Archie, who she noticed had put on significant weight, despite being fed just once a day. She said she had laid a complaint with police after she confronted the woman, who was on her property on Saturday. “I told her to leave and I said I’m going to keep standing here until you leave, until you stop feeding my cat and she came right up to me and I said ‘don’t get physical with me love, if you do that you’re going to jail’.” Dozens of cat owners have shared their run-ins with the woman and stories of their sick cats on the Facebook page named Stop the Local Harmful Cat Feeder. A petition has gathered more than 430 signatures calling for police, SPCA and Ilam MP Sarah Pallett to act. Police confirmed they are assessing reports of the woman’s behaviour for criminality. A police spokesperson said any concerns about behaviour in the area should be reported. SPCA scientific officer Alison Vaughan was aware of the situation and the SPCA has been working with other agencies on the case. Bishopdale Medical Centre had put up a sign addressed to the cat feeder, asking them to stop feeding cats on their property because it was attracting flies and they were sick of cleaning it up. City council staff had followed up on complaints from residents, and the woman was spoken to but her actions were not deemed an offense under the Litter Act. –RNZ Nursery worker eyes national title A HALSWELL woman has been named New Zealand’s young plant producer of the year. Lydia O’Dowd, 29, won a 12-month mentorship programme and $4000 to advance her career in plant production. She will now compete for the Young Horticulturist of the year title and a prize pool of more than $20,000 at the final in Auckland from November 7–8. O’Dowd (right) has been head propagator at Southern Woods Nursery in Rolleston for three years. The competition tested her finance and dispatch skills, and knowledge of biosecurity, plant propagation and identification, tool maintenance, agrichemical use and irrigation. O’Dowd has a certificate in horticulture from Lincoln University. She has been in the head of propagation role for just over a year. “Right now, I am exactly where I want to be. My job is so varied and rewarding, I love it. I am passionate about sustainability and growing natives to sell on to companies that are contributing to the restoration of our natural environment in NZ.
