This small lovely cat needs a home...
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MABEL! WE THINK WE'VE NOW FOUND HER A SUITABLE HOME.
Mabel is a small black and white cat of 1-2 years of age. She loves people and is extremely affectionate. She has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and is in good health. She needs a home.
Mabel was abandoned by one of our neighbours when he moved back to Australia just before lockdown. She was malnourished and neglected. We took her to the vet to have her spayed etc and have been feeding her over lockdown, but cannot keep her.
We have let Mabel inside from time to time, and she is not litter trained. She needs someone who is prepared to train her and give her lots of love. Please message me if you are interested in giving Mabel a home or want to find out more. If you're interested, you are very welcome to come and meet Mabel before deciding.
Thank you,
Esther
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
