We’ve had hundreds of you tell us just what makes your neighbour ‘awesome’ with some amazing stories. Do you have an awesome neighbour you haven’t told us about?

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.

Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).

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.
