🐈 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!

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.
Did anyone else hear that ACC are sitting on a fund of $44 billion???? Did I get that wrong? If right, how about some of it be spent on victims who could really do with help? I'll just leave this here....

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

Members of Ngā Hapū o Whangārei supported the planting in honour of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, signed in the time of Queen Victoria. The long association of the Tai Tokerau tribes with the Monarch began in 1831 when Ngāpuhi chiefs corresponded with King William IV, which resulted in the signing in 1835 of He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nū Tīreni (Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand) which enabled Māori to treat with Great Britain five years later in 1840.
Pictured holding the spade with Mayor Vince Cocurullo is 86 year-old hapū member Anne Davies (nee Malcolm) whose ancestor Hōri Tahua and ancestress Te Rangitopeora were among the signatories to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. During the planting, Anne reflected on the time Queen Elizabeth II visited Whangārei following her Coronation in 1953, recounting how the Queen stayed at the Grand Hotel and received the Whangārei people from the balcony.
