Ever thought about fostering kittens or cats?
I volunteer with Pet Whisperer Rescue who rescue, rehabilitate and rehome strays and abandoned cats in Auckland.
We’re getting more and more messages to help with kittens or cats on the streets, and our volunteers/fosters are already full to the brim. Become a foster and help make a difference to the life of a rescued kitten/cat.
We provide the things you’ll need to look after the cat like food, litter, toys, bedding, etc., all you need is:
✅ small room or space to set a large crate
✅ landlords permission if renting
✅ ability to transport cat for vet visits
✅ and time to provide care, love, and attention to rescued cats to get them ready for their forever home
This is a great opportunity for kids to learn the responsibilities around owning a pet or help you to understand if you’re ready to own a pet yourself. It’s also great if you work from home and could use some furry company.
If you can help, fill in this the volunteer form:

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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
