Cat hit by car

Catherine from Remuera

Hi everyone, I was driving home today from the supermarket around 1.30pm I saw a cat lying on busy Remuera Road (over from Kadimah School). I quickly turned around and went to check on it and it appeared it had just been hit. Another lady pulled over and said she'd seen a car hit the cat but then left. Cats run across roads, and no one is at fault, but PLEASE, if you hit an animal, or see an injured animal, stop to check on it and help if it is still alive. If it is not alive, please move it to a berm or footpath in the hope the owners can find it. This cat was injured and bleeding but still alive (just). Between a few of us we got the cat to a nearby vet but sadly I got the call half an later to say 'Dixie' had died. At least she didn't die on a busy noisy road, or worse, get hit again and again. I know it's difficult to witness but every minute counts when an animal has been injured. Thank you for being aware and kind.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
