Franklyn village 17yrs old cat
Franklyn is our Franklyn village cat and he is about 17 and still going strong except a free dental check at Victory Vet says $1500 quote for 10-15 extractions. I have been looking after him for about 4 months now and no-one here has $1500 to help our village cat. Do you have any spare money that you could donate to help our cat? Please call the Franklyn village office on 035466039 or Louise on 0276025945 or email info@franklynvillage.co.nz, any funding can go straight into the Franklyn village account rather than anyone's personal account. Please help us to help him, whilst he is still hungry and still eats soft food and biscuits, he doesn't chew his food very much, just swallows it and I am concerned he could be in pain. I have tried to get a loan but couldn't get one.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
