Cat Rescue Collection at Northlands Countdown Sat 26/11/2016
Hi Community.
Cat Rescue Christchurch collection volunteers will be the Northlands Countdown from 9.00-6.00 taking money and cat food/litter donations from the public. We are right into the start of kitten session so costs are piling up. Last year our little volunteer organisation rehomed and desexed over 519 kittens/stray cats. Last year we also had over $100,000 spent on vet bills which were covered by the likes of the above collections.
I have attached a story I just compiled of wee Nelly, who came to us in last kitten session full of cat flu. Our director called her 'snorty piggy' due to her breathing difficulties as a result of cat flu but will lots of love and medical care got her up to a healthy level that she was able to go out to a foster prior to being put up for rehoming. The foster fell in love with her and she became what is called in our charity "a foster fail"....lol.
Your donations go towards the medical costs to get this wee furbaby up to the healthy level to have the chance of finding her forever home and love.
Would love to see you on Saturday.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
