Collection at Halswell New World this saturday 24/04/2021

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Cat Rescue are having a collection at Halswell New World this Saturday 24/04/2021 from 9.00-5.00

We will have eftpos for the first time, if you would like to make a donation but do not have cash.

We have cards to the value of $5, $10 and $20 if you are thinking of a cool present to give to your mother for mothers day. She will get a voucher to say she has donated to our amazing cause.

We take cash donations and donations of cat food (tins of smelly food for trapping (usually the cheap fishy version) and cat/kitten sachets and biscuits)

We take donations of kitty litter

We take donations of paper towels, washing powder and disinfectant and cleaning products.

We also just love to take cat stories and share photo's of our fur babies and yours (via phone photo's)..........lol

Hope to see you if you are in the area.

If I have not posted in an area close to the supermarket and you know a cat lover that would support use, please give them a bell and tell them we are down there tomorrow. I am not sure if I have covered the likes of Aidianfield nor Halswell as those names did not come up in the area;s to tick.

thank you in anticipation

Regards

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
