Cat Rescue Christchurch has set up a Givealittle page to help with the expected influx of kittens coming into our care. Would love for you to go and have alook and read about our first lot of four kittens born into our care, (last years final tally was over 500 kittens rehomed) and see if you can help us. Every donation over $5 is tax deductible (which means that you will get 33% back on your tax return as you get a receipt by Givealittle site)
Link is givealittle.co.nz... so best to copy and paste to your search tab.
Thanks for listening and if you would like to volunteers your time please go to our website and see what sort of help you can provide.

We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.

As a result water in this area is now clearing.
Due to the quick response from residents and contractors, the clouded water was contained around Russley Road to Avonhead Road between Yaldhurst Road and Memorial Ave.
We advise residents living in this area to run an outside tap for 10-15 minutes to remove any remaining cloudy water from household pipes.
Further flushing and testing will be continued this afternoon. Test results will be available mid-afternoon tomorrow.
While we do not believe the current situation requires us to recommend people to boil water this is something they can do, as a precautionary measure, if they have any concerns.
POST: We are investigating why water in some parts of the north west of the city is coming out of the tap cloudy. The Council had received number of calls from the public this morning about the quality of the water, mainly in the Avonhead- Russley area.
The water was in the process of being tested and the network was also being flushed. The pump station which is believed to be the cause of the discolouration has been shut down.
We are hoping to get to the bottom of it very quickly but in the meantime if people have any concerns they should, as a precaution, boil the water before drinking it or use bottled water.
We will keep residents updated as we receive information.
