Rest in Peace, little big man.
We only found out today that your name was Reco.
You have brought joy to Ponsonby locals for as long as I can remember.
You will be sadly missed by all of us. You were the coolest cat, a feisty little feline, but cool nonetheless.
Love from your Prego family and one of your favorite haunts.

Thank you to Zoe and Nick Bolster for being with Reco/Oscar/Lasagne/Ed Sheeran in his final moments. Forever grateful 😢
