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.
Last week I had dropped my phone In Shenley Drive. Thank you to the young chap who found it and went out of his way to track down it's owner. Great to see that common decency is still fairly common. Good on you! And thanks again. Dave.
Due to complications with an urgent sewer repair Deans Ave will remain down to onelane northbound between Kilmarnock St and Fendalton Rd for another week. Expect delays during peak times.
No one knows when or where earthquakes will occur, but everyone can be prepared.
The simplest thing you can do to keep your family safe in a quake is to secure objects and furniture. This reduces the chance they will fall over causing injury or damage.

The Council no longer provides public car parking on Hagley Park sports fields during events. This summer the fields at Carlton Mill Corner will undergo an upgrade to improve their quality and usability for sport. As a result parking on these fields is no longer permitted.
If you are planning to attend an event in Hagley Park there are a few ways to get there.
Heads up! Barbadoes St will be one way southbound for a week starting Monday.

But for some families it's not an option - especially if you live in a rural area, or your kids go to a school on the other side of town. So tell us the main mode of transport by which your children or grandchildren commute.
Plus: Don't forget to join up to a Foot It Club at www.neighbourly.co.nz..., and go into the draw to WIN one of 50 Micro scooters.

Nigel Paddon from Breakaway Construction gave me an hourly rate to do the job which was very very reasonable. He very quickly in a few hours had the job done to a professional standard. When he had finished that job I asked him if he could remove our old brick chimney. Nigel inspected the chimney and agreed it was a good idea to take it down. He arrived back later with all the safety gear and equipment necessary to complete the job. I would like to highly recommend Nigel to all my neighbours and friends for any construction work you are contemplating having done.

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...
