Blockhouse Bay Radio is a low-power FM radio station in west Auckland, transmitting on 88.3 mhz. The year 2009 marked its fourth year of continuous transmitting, so to celebrate the event in a philatelic way, the station has issued several CAL stamps featuring charming West Auckland felines.
These are "personalised" stamps printed by NZ Post and valid for postage. For more details and discussion on NZ's cals, please see the thread on Stampboards here:

50c ... Penny, a ginger female kitten. (Most gingers are male, so this is a rare cat!)

50c ... Penny again, but with new website in small print down left side.

60c … Penny again, with red stripe and new website.

60c … Penny again, with white stripe and old website.

$1 ... Panterra, a tortoiseshell female.

$2 ... Shadow, a grey female, and holder of the Blockhouse Bay Gold Medal for champion mousecatcher.

$2.50 ... Shadow again, but with a RED stripe (to make it distinctive from the $2 stamp).

Here is the full set of 7, postally used, and in very fine condition. The first 50c, $1, and $2 stamps were issued on 4th February 2009, while the $2.50 value appeared on 3rd August 2009. The 50c with new website (www.wakeupradio.org) was issued on 09-09-09, and the two 60c values were issued on 10-10-10.

I will use a 60c cal of this set (plus other stamps to make up the rate if needed) on the envelope when sending your stamps to you. And send them in a Blockhouse Bay Radio envelope.
