The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We can all appreciate a good family cat but cats aren't known for toeing the line. New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please.

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

United Cinema Bayfair. The screening of locally made documentary Taking Back our Beach will be shown to raise much needed funds for Western Bay Wildlife and ARRC charities who both worked during the RENA disaster to look after the coastal wildlife. Tickets are only $20 and there will be raffles available on the night. A Q&A session will follow the movie sharing stories of wildlife rescues following the disaster. Both of these charities work all year long looking after the wildlife along Mount and Papamoa beaches so it would be great to raise lots of money to support them. See the link below for tickets or message me directly and I will be able to help you.
