Introducing Beverley Dowling, our cat expert! 😻

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Beverley is an Animal Compliance Education Officer who works through Armourguard to help people get their cats desexed, microchipped and saved on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register.

Beverley is an Animal Compliance Education Officer who works through Armourguard to help people get their cats desexed, microchipped and saved on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register.

🐈 In Whangārei, all cats must be desexed and microchipped by six months of age. This change was introduced on 1 July 2022, and Beverley's job is to help achieve that vision.

“Our dog pound cannot hold cats, so my job is not about trapping and re-homing cats, or about punishing people whose cats are not microchipped or neutered." she says. "It’s about working with cat owners to help them get the benefits of snipping (neutering) and chipping (microchipping) for their furry friends."

“I also help people get the services they need when they report stray, feral or injured cats to us. It usually means connecting people to local SPCA, vets, and cat protection groups."

Beverley has been very busy since starting last year!

Good people

If you're fans of theatre, you might like to catch the heart warming play, The Illiterate Book Club that's coming to the Octagon Theatre.

It's the story of a group of friends who love books but who can't read - because they never have the time.

But they start a book club anyway and come up with other ways to soak up their favourite stories.

And apart from "book reviews", there's food, drink and updates on everything that's keeping them from sitting down with a good book.

Evening shows are: June 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th and 17th.
Dinner and show is $55 and show only is $30.

Matinees are: Sunday June 4th & 11th
Lunch and show $45. Show only $30.

Tickets are now available at www.octagontheatre.nz...
Or book through Craniums, ph 09 438 4406

Hope to see you there.
