Berhampore kitties
I’m finally back and getting ready to trap the remaining cats of the berhampore Colony.
We estimate around 40 cats and kittens that still need to be rescued.
What do we do these cats?
- Trap, desex, microchip, vaccinate and rehome the cats and kittens that can be.
- T’N’R, a few kittties are released and are cared for financially by us, and fed by one of our feeders.
- The cats who can’t be released or rehomed are put to sleep, as it’s the kindest option for them.
What we need from you?
- Pictures of cats to help us keep track of them
- Trappers (or people to check on traps)
- People who can transport cats
- Properties to trap on
- And of course fosterers
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Tia, Pōneke Ngeru Rescue
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
