Each cat is going to average a cost of $300 each, could well be alot more for some that may be sick or have injuries. I have 15 of these cats & kittens already in the short time since I was alerted to them. Please help enable us to get the lot b4 it's to late, every dollar counts more than you'd realise, thankyou :)

No one dreams bigger than an Olympian, and nothing connects us as a nation quite like sport!
As a proud partner of the New Zealand Olympic Team, we’re getting behind our Olympians so they can turn their dreams into a reality.
This week we feature a stunning close-up but what type of bird is it?

"When I was young I didn’t like the boatsheds. To my eye they looked derelict and unkempt – a hotchpotch of too bright clashing colours, and all of them peeling to reveal bleached wood underneath. They reminded me of my Nana’s crocheted rugs with frayed threads and darned patches. I liked things shining, new, and squared away. Anything else smacked of some sort of failure, either of duty or poverty.
Now that I’m older, and not untouched by time myself, I realise that decay is inevitable, and, more importantly, there is texture and beauty in it. The sea, like life, can be a rough place. The winds carry salt and sand, storm surges leave marks and baggage piled around the high tide mark, sometimes spilling over onto the little docks. But in this flotsam, rotting seaweed, silt, and tangled tree branches are a million little bugs, fish, and crabs – a roiling primordial soup seasoned with iodine and salt and feasted on by the birds. Nothing is lost - just transformed. Sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) catching the light at the Hutt Estuary boatsheds, Hikoikoi Reserve, Lower Hutt."

Porirua Mayor Anita Baker welcomed the improvements designed to help manage the traffic growth anticipated from the opening of Transmission Gully and from other developments in the area.
"These initiatives will make it easier and safer for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to access businesses, Kenepuru Landing, Summerset Retirement Village, Bishop Viard College and the city centre," she said.
A drop-in session will be held on Thursday 15 July between 5pm - 7pm, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 16 Kenepuru Drive. The main projects up for discussion are:
* Kenepuru Drive new intersections with Lyttelton Ave and Lower Main Drive
* Lower Main Drive to Ferry Place footpath (including the Lyttelton Ave/Walton Leigh Ave intersection upgrade)
At the Graeme Dingle Foundation we empower tamariki and rangatahi to overcome life's obstacles. Our programmes build resilience and open young eyes to new possibilities.

Year 13’s Nathaniel Salmon, Levi Ware and Kawharu Hippolite all agreed they were excited to take part in the fourth annual camp.
All three boys were proud Mana College students, and it meant a lot to them to represent the school at such a prestigious event.
This is free, needs fixing - falling apart a bit. Probably fine for someone who’s good at fixing things!
The bedside table is also free to take - also falling apart (the top comes off)

The 5.25km pathway around the northern side of the spectacular Pāuatahanui Inlet was pitched to Council in 1999 by members of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton.
The first turf was turned in 2005 and an official blessing and opening was held last week on 28 June at Motukaraka Point to recognise its completion. Porirua mayor Anita Baker said the tireless fundraising by Plimmerton Rotary – it contributed $1.3m towards the project – has created a much-loved walkway that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
Along with Rotary, Mayor Baker acknowledged Ngāti Toa for its continual support, contractors Fulton Hogan, consultants Tonkin & Taylor, DoC, Forest & Bird and the input of the organisations that have the best interests of the inlet at heart – Guardians of Pāuatahanui Inlet and Porirua Harbour & Catchment Community Trust. Current president of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton, Bill McAulay, said it was a brilliant achievement for the club.
Usage of Te Ara Piko was just over 64,000 in 2020, with the number of users growing each year as parts of the pathway were completed. It runs from Taylor Stace Cottage in Pāuatahanui to Camborne Walkway carpark.
