Rodney the cat is arguably New Zealand\u2019s most famous feline. He unwillingly rose to fame in 2020 after being dumped more than\u00a0<\/span>10 kilometers away<\/span><\/a> from his home in Marton. Rodney was left to fend for himself for more than a month until a rescue group found him. He was eventually adopted by Raye and Shane McDonnell, a couple based in Whanganui.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second book, titled \u2018Rodney the Cat Beyond Lost & Found<\/em>\u2019, is the sequel to \u2018Rodney the Cat World Famous in New Zealand<\/em>\u2019. Both are written by Linda Deane, writer and publisher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first book talks about Rodney\u2019s journey of finding his way home and the ongoing efforts of his parents to continue helping lost and dumped felines; the second book shares a glimpse of Rodney\u2019s life after being rescued. It also introduces his cat friends and other animals who had a rough life start.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo many of his frens wrote telling us how much they enjoyed his first book. They were clamouring for a second sort of update on how he was faring now that he is comfortably settled into his new life and his furever home. This one isn’t as comprehensive or intense as the first one but more of an update,\u201d said Linda.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodney as Addiction Pet Foods\u2019 brand ambassador<\/h1>\n

Addiction Pet Foods came across Rodney when he won the Whanganui Pet of the Year last July. Seeing Raye and Shane\u2019s dedication to helping rescues, Addiction Pet Foods partnered with Rodney to reach more people struggling with abandoned and lost animals.<\/p>\n

The partnership is included in Rodney\u2019s second book.<\/p>\n
