Cat Rescue Collection at Ferrymead Countdown Saturday 2nd of Dec

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Come and say hi.  We have 50 plus kittens in our care all at varying degree's of medical help, some good and some not so good, all treated so that we can get them to the stage, where they can go to fosters for some loving one on one care and then off to their forever home.
We are asking for donations of money (to pay off vet bills), kitten food, kitty litter, and the cheapest and stinkest can of adult cat food (used to entice the stray cats into traps (all for the purpose of desexing).


If every person that walked by gave a gold coin donation, the lives of these furry animals would be greatly helped. 


We will be at Ferrymead Countdown from 9.00am to 6.00.  If you can't afford any of the above, we will take a smile in kind and return one.


Thank you


Below is one of our youngest supporter modelling pink cat ears.  The other photo is my two first ever foster kittens.  Last photo is one of our dedicated collectors.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
