Meet Lavender - she is a 7-year-old Main coon (Silver tortie) who is currently at a temporary foster home for the Waikato Animal Outreach Trust.
Lavender is looking for a quiet home in a foster to adopt arrangement, she has been a very independent outside cat for the last 2 years and needs to trust humans again, she is a hider and needs a patient person in her life to be her companion - someone who has the time to spend with her - retired/semi-retired working from home etc with no children or dogs, she would suit an older person or couple.
In her current foster home she has responded to pats and a bit of chin tickling so is making progress

Anyone interested in providing Lavender a home please email Steph at waikatoanimaloutreach@gmail.com with some details about yourself, your family, and the home you can provide Lavender.

Lavender will need to be kept inside for quite a long time and taken to vet appointment as needed in Hamilton.

Lavender also needs a teeth clean and one or two teeth out which could cost several hundreds of dollars, we have undertaken many elective surgeries in the last 18months and our vet bill is rocketing - we need your help to get Lavenders teeth done so she can feel a million dollars.

Donations can be made directly to Vetora (Collins Road, Hamilton) or to our Op Shop at the Dinsdale shopping Centre and to our bank account:

ANZ 06 0225 0190554 00

ref : Lavender

If you need a receipt for tax purposes, please email Steph with your details.

Thank you

Hi Hamilton,

Does roading infrastructure need an upgrade in your suburb?

Some Hamilton drivers are performing dangerous manoeuvres directly in front of schools, abusing parking wardens and running red lights.

Hamilton City Councillors Sarah Thomson​ and Mark Bunting​ say inconsiderate and dangerous driving around schools is a city-wide problem – and it appears to be getting worse.

“Essentially people are driving and acting like maniacs around schools during the drop-off and pick-up times. People are parking on yellow lines right in front of crossings, or even sometimes on crossings. Drivers are parking right on cycleways and then do dangerous manoeuvres when they pull out,” Thomson said.

Traffic data shows red light running peaks at 9am and 3pm in the city - traditionally around the start and finish of the school day, respectively.

Community advocacy groups have suggested several solutions to curb irresponsible driving behaviour including having reliable bus services along popular commuting routes and safe cycle lanes.

The people over there are very poor as there is little work or government assistance. From time we run out of wool and are very grateful to receive left over wool in small or large amounts that anyone may have that they are willing to give us. We are very creative and use small amounts for stripes or edges etc so any amount is welcome. I can assure you it is put to very good use and the people over there overflow with gratitude that we, at the "other end of the world"' care enough to help them. We are very grateful too to the people who have given us wool in the past but we are always running out and needing more so if you have any wool that you are willing to donate, I will arrange to pick it up. My landline number is (07)843-7755 or cellphone 021-057-0371. Thank you once again to those who have given to us in the past. Pat Gregory

Do I Need a Website for My Business? 10 Reasons Why the Answer is Yes

Hi Neighbours,

Hi Neighbours,

If your business has gotten this far without a website, you might be wondering: do I need a website for my business? What’s the point if my business is already successful without one?
The short answer is that there has never been a better or more important time to invest in a website for your business. A website offers a wide variety of benefits for small businesses, and most of these benefits increase in value exponentially year over year, just like the Internet itself.

Not convinced? We’ve collected ten of the biggest benefits your small business can receive from even a simple website.

Ten reasons why you need a website for your small business.
1. A website makes you look professional
2. Your website can attract new customers through Google
3. You can clearly showcase your products and services
4. You can display your best reviews and testimonials prominently on your website
5. A website can encourage customers to contact you
6. You can integrate your website with Google Maps so people can find you more easily
7. Your website establishes your place in the industry
8. A website is no longer intimidating to create and manage
9. A website ensures your success over the long term
10. You can get all of these benefits without spending a fortune

Hopefully, by now you’ve realized that the question isn’t “do I need a website for my business”, but “can I afford to not have a website in the digital era”. And the answer, if you want to continue thriving in the long term, is no. A website is one of the best investments any business can make in its future.

Finally, if you have any questions about launching a website for your small business, ask away in the comments section below!

Cheers,
