I was home at the time & shudder to think my worst fear could be coming true. Dog fighting rings are prevalent in Christchurch & they target innocent fur babies for bait/training purposes. I've heards reports lately of suspicious behavior regarding dogs & dog thefts in the Hornby area. It seems these mongrels could now be scouting our area too! Please keep an eye out for anyone behaving suspiciously around homes with dogs & ensure your dogs are secured safely at all times. Have also read stories of fighting dogs being thrown over fences to attack a dog in it's own territory then simply let out once the damage is done. Report anything necessary to the Police and be sure to talk to your neighbors too.

Come along and meet five of NZ’s Rio 2016 Paralympians at the event. Triple Paralympian, Para sailor Andrew May (Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Rio 2016) will return for the event in his home town and will be joined by double bronze medallist, 17-year-old sprint sensation William Stedman and Rio 2016 debutant, javelin thrower Caitlin Dore. This Cantabrian trio will be accompanied by Rio 2016 silver and bronze medallists, tandem Para cycling pairing of Emma Foy from Dargaville and Laura Thompson from the Catlins.
The Open Days have been developed and jointly staged with our major partner ACC. The Open Days are designed to increase interest and participation in community sport activities run by Parafeds, National Sports Organisations and disability sport organisations. It also gives us the opportunity to spot talent that could move into a pathway focussed on developing future Paralympians

As mentioned in the givealittle we have had a $17,000 vet bill for January and am asking if anyone can donate a little monies to the cause. Every $5 + you donate to givealittle (they will provide a receipt) where you can claim back 30% in your year end tax calculation. Small donations by a lot of people all add up to a lot. This is the silly kitten session and hence costs are always high at this time.
We are busy collecting free fruit and jars and making jams/chutney's and fresh tomato and plum sauce to sell at our stalls and making crafts (custions and cat beds etc) with donated goods. So we are trying to fundraise anyway we can with lots of volunteer support.
We will have a stall at the Sumner Market this Sunday the 12th and the Halswell Market on the 26th so would love to see you.
I have attached two recent articles about what we do and how we help stray cats and the resulting kittens that come from unsprayed animals.
Any questions please go to our website or pm me and ask.
Thanks for reading
