Fireworks are a ton of fun but carry real risks that need to be taken seriously. If you plan on lighting some here's some tips to keep everyone in your community safe and happy.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.

🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.

💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.

👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.

🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.

📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.

🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.

🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.

🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.

Switch to LEDs for the climate

Andrew Caseley from Gen Less

Kahutara Primary School in Featherston is switching to LEDs. All LEDs are Gen Less bulbs as they use less energy, which ultimately helps halt climate change. If we all got on board and switched now it would make a huge difference

It is the start of the new kitten season and we would love the communities help so that we can continue to help the stray cats of Canterbury and the resulting litters of kittens born to undexed strayed cats.

You can help us by donating the following at the collection tomorrow:-

1. Money donations which go to pay the vet bills re medical costs and desexing
2. Buying kitten food or kitty litter and dropping it off at our collection point.
3. Or you could go to our givealittle page and donate and help us build another barn cat enclosure whereby we house semi social cats whilst looking for barn homes for them. This allows us to free up our portacoms for the kittens. Link is below.
4. Go and like our Cat Rescue main facebook page and also our Cat Rescue Christchurch fundraising info page. We will be advertising our annual Cat Rescue Calenders soon so you can go on to the fundraising page and pre order a calender.
