Four furbabies need your help.
Sometimes our beautiful companions have some extra special needs.
While we do what we can to give them love, assurance, and see to their general health needs, there are some things that we need to ask additional help for.
We have Fabian, Josie, Magpie and Minka that, due to age; bad diet; or not getting the care they deserved before coming to us, require dental care ranging from teeth cleaning, to teeth extraction (one has just had their dental).
Dental care is expensive and costs between $400 and $800 per cat. Total this by 4 and we are looking at a vet bill of $1,600 to $3,200.
Being a charitable organisation means we relay on all you generous humans to help us look after our furry friends who have to yet to find their forever homes.
We have set up a Givealittle page in the hope that you can help us to help them. If you can, please donate at givealittle.co.nz...
for this specific cause. (Every dollar helps.).
Thank you for your support as we can't do it without you.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
