Ever thought about fostering kittens or cats?
I volunteer with Pet Whisperer Rescue who rescue, rehabilitate and rehome strays and abandoned cats in Auckland.
We’re getting more and more messages to help with kittens or cats on the streets, and our volunteers/fosters are already full to the brim. Become a foster and help make a difference to the life of a rescued kitten/cat.
We provide the things you’ll need to look after the cat like food, litter, toys, bedding, etc., all you need is:
✅ small room or space to set a large crate
✅ landlords permission if renting
✅ ability to transport cat for vet visits
✅ and time to provide care, love, and attention to rescued cats to get them ready for their forever home
This is a great opportunity for kids to learn the responsibilities around owning a pet or help you to understand if you’re ready to own a pet yourself. It’s also great if you work from home and could use some furry company.
If you can help, fill in this the volunteer form:

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
