Cat and house package: Mark will put the meow in house owner

Mark the half-tail cat stays noted on his property’s ‘cattels’ after his Hamilton home in Beerescourt was passed in at auction today.

Mark and the property at 9a Elizabeth Street made waves throughout the nation when they were revealed as as an unique two-for-one offer so Mark gets to remain at your home he chose was his home.

Now priced at $1.2 million after not costing auction, Lodge Real Estate Residential and Lifestyle Sales Consultant Megan Smith says the property had “loads” of interest.

“People are really keen on it. Most people are very happy to take Mark over. [They] understand that Mark made the property his home and the vendors are trying to act in his best interest,” Smith says.

Mark chose to relocate one day and never ever left, in spite of the suppliers’ efforts to return him to his initial owner. His name comes from a lost battle with a cleaning device cover that declared half of his tail.

The property suppliers are transferring to a brand-new advancement where cats are not permitted (in the interests of safeguarding native wildlife) which is why Mark is among the Beerescourt property’s uncommon “cattels”.

“So far, no one has asked for a discount because Mark only has half a tail,” Smith says.

If the brand-new owners are not keen on Mark or allergic, the suppliers will re-home Mark.

Smith says open houses for the property will resume this weekend.

“I can promise you that you will see the house, but I can’t promise Mark is going to be there,” Smith says.

While Mark stays dedicated to the property, he has actually revealed no interest in the auction or any open houses. In truth, the suppliers have actually just had actually restricted sightings of Mark given that the auction.

Smith says she thinks this is the very first time a cat has actually ever been noted in a property’s effects.

“It is certainly a career first for me, and dare I say – perhaps the first time in New Zealand… It’s terribly Kiwi, New Zealand has one of the highest per capita rates of cat ownership in the world,” Smith says.
