Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Copied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum).  Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture.  How exciting for them and for Christchurch.

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk

My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!

They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.

Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below. 

Many thanks
Victoria

The Free Stuff category is the perfect place to list your unwanted items for neighbours in need, or discover what you can take off your neighbours' hands.
** To advertise free items, simply post a message in the usual way and select Free Stuff as the category.
** In respect for your fellow members, please be clear about the quality of any items you are giving away. If you are not genuinely in need of free items, or have recently claimed one, please allow some time before claiming other items so that others can benefit from this category too.
** If you're on the hunt for a number of free items, consider listing these all in a post so that your neighbours can make any offers.
** Please note that it is not good Neighbourly practice to onsell items you have claimed without expressly discussing this with the person passing them on. 
** When claiming free items, you might like to consider paying it forward and keeping the community spirit alive by listing something free yourself!
