**LOST CAT** Please can you help!
**UPDATE** Puss has been found safe and well 🙂Listing on behalf
MISSING My 11 year old male cat, name Sam.
He’s black with a white bib on the chest, he’s a big cat, lost in the area of Berryfield Drive and 40 Youngberry Drive
Richmond, since 24/11. We moved house and area, he got spooked and managed to get under a gap in our fence, we’ve looked everywhere as long as we could have before leaving for CHCH.. the new owners are also on the lookout for him as well as my son who lives in Nelson has been looking for him too.. He’s microchipped, but doesn’t have a collar on. He’s our family and we would love to have him back safely.. PLEASE check your gardens, in between plants, sheds and garages if he’s there. He’s probably very scared and doesn’t do well with strangers. Any info of seeing him would be so appreciated.. if found please contain him somewhere safe, contact me on 0272450304 and my son will come and pick him up.
Thank You
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
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 ❤️
