Also go to our facebook page and see the call out for participants in our December KITTEN CUDDLES promotion.  Get your business registered (cost of $50) and our volunteers will bring out kitten to your business for cuddles.  What a great way for your boss to distress their staff before xmas,    Search under Cat Rescue Christchurch in facebook and we will pop up.  Make sure you like us as we are also crafting cat related items for sale for Christmas gifts.


What fun are our volunteers having at the moment.


Have a great day folks, and be generous with time, money and of course your smiles.
