The life-threatening plight of a blind alpaca has touched the hearts of Kiwis nationwide.

An alpaca breeder is also offering surrogate support for the stricken animal who it is feared may die of loneliness. 

NZ POLICE Without the aid of Charisma, Bambi sits stranded alone in one spot of his paddock. 

Bambi the blind alpaca was left alone and stranded in the middle of his north Auckland paddock when thieves swiped his brother Charisma from under his nose on March 12.

He relies heavily on Charisma to help him find his way around his home, and with Charisma gone he stands alone and helpless, unable to move. 

When Orewa police shared Bambi's plight on social media to appeal for any information about the theft, Kathy Rademacher of Kaipara Pines Alpacas thought she needed to help. 

She contacted the owners with an offer to take a couple of her young alpacas to keep Bambi company, and hope they will get back in touch before he dies of loneliness. 

"Alpacas are very much herd animals and they do not like being alone.  It just stresses them out and, in fact, some have died from the stress if it. 

NZ POLICE Charisma is believed to have been whisked away in a truck or trailer from the Dairy Flat property.  Anyone who has seen him is asked to contact police. 

"It will be really stressful for him to be by himself, let alone the fact he is blind.  That's why we are kind of in a hurry to get in touch with these people so we can do something to alleviate his problem." 

Rademacher thought the theft was disgusting. 

Sergeant Aaron Iremonger from the Orewa Police said, since his appeal for information showing Bambi stationary in a field, unable to move without his guide, police were fielding information from around New Zealand in relation to possible sightings of Charisma. 

Jay Boreham Alpaca are herd animals and can die from stress if left on their own, breeder Kathy Rademacher says. 

"We are just sifting through that at the moment. 

"There is nothing concrete so really what I want to reiterate about this is if anyone has any information call the Orewa Police Station or Crimestoppers. 

"Bambi is definitely missing Charisma - that's for sure." 

NZ POLICE Sergeant Aaron Iremonger of Orewa police gives Bambi some love during his plea for information on the whereabouts of Charisma. 

Police say any members of the public with information can contact Orewa police on 09 426 4555. 

Information can also be provided to the organisation Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
