We have some Khaki Campbell/Indian runner cross ducks free to a good home. These are not for eating. Perfect if you have a lifestyle block. We have had these gorgeous birds as pets but it is time for a new home.

Good layers of eggs, we have a selection of ducks and drakes. We would like them to all go together if possible. Currently have about six needing a new home.

It's that lovely time of year when we start to think about gifting to others.
You may notice the Christmas Trees in Kaiapoi - at New World, The Library and at WestPac. As always, we are in need gifts for kids who would normally go without over the holidays.

Please remember the teenage/older brothers and sisters as they often get forgotten. And please donate new and quality gifts.
Each year we get sacks and sacks of poor condition preloved toys that we can not pass on. Please recycle these gifts at opshops and not under the tree. As a result we have to check all gifts and repackaged before going out, as we can not risk a child receiving something in disrepair.
Thank you for supporting us to ensure no child gets forgotten this Christmas.

Christchurch correspondent Mary Lovell-Smith planted native mistletoe. It's not quite ready this Christmas, but it was for a good cause, and surely that's good enough for this festive season?

The weather is, by the estimation of most, hot.
Heat affects everything, especially what you want to eat. Want a big winter roast? Probably not.
So what is best choice of warm weather kai? Let us know if we missed out any options and as always, we hope to use your comments in our conversations … View moreThe weather is, by the estimation of most, hot.

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.
Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).

Come and say hi. We have 50 plus kittens in our care all at varying degree's of medical help, some good and some not so good, all treated so that we can get them to the stage, where they can go to fosters for some loving one on one care and then off to their forever home.

We have 50 plus kittens in our care all at varying degree's of medical help, some good and some not so good, all treated so that we can get them to the stage, where they can go to fosters for some loving one on one care and then off to their forever home.
We are asking for donations of money (to pay off vet bills), kitten food, kitty litter, and the cheapest and stinkest can of adult cat food (used to entice the stray cats into traps (all for the purpose of desexing).
If every person that walked by gave a gold coin donation, the lives of these furry animals would be greatly helped.
We will be at Ferrymead Countdown from 9.00am to 6.00. If you can't afford any of the above, we will take a smile in kind and return one.
Thank you
Below is one of our youngest supporter modelling pink cat ears. The other photo is my two first ever foster kittens. Last photo is one of our dedicated collectors.
