Episode Details

Tony Hitchcock, a dedicated cat rescuer, is facing a challenge in his mission to help stray cats in Eketāhuna. Despite his successful track record of taming, desexing, and rehoming hundreds of cats in Marton, the Tararua District Council has denied his exemption from the three-cats-per-property rule. Hitchcock, who often captures stray cats to prevent rodent issues and finds them new homes, feels he hasnt been given a fair chance to address concerns about hygiene and animal management. Other rescuers, like Mini Vadke, support Hitchcocks cause, emphasizing the importance of desexing and chipping to prevent further reproduction. Hitchcock is now considering registering as a charity to navigate the bylaw, but admits hes not keen on paperwork.
