I was home at the time & shudder to think my worst fear could be coming true. Dog fighting rings are prevalent in Christchurch & they target innocent fur babies for bait/training purposes. I've heards reports lately of suspicious behavior regarding dogs & dog thefts in the Hornby area. It seems these mongrels could now be scouting our area too! Please keep an eye out for anyone behaving suspiciously around homes with dogs & ensure your dogs are secured safely at all times. Have also read stories of fighting dogs being thrown over fences to attack a dog in it's own territory then simply let out once the damage is done. Report anything necessary to the Police and be sure to talk to your neighbors too.

My goal is to bring peace and harmony into children’s lives.
In recent years I have started writing. This is now my main purpose. I have many speeches, a book to lift depression, a book Through the eyes of a Carer that I wrote when I worked as a carer in Australia, I have a blog ready to launch for youth, to boost self love, worth and esteem. When you feel good about yourself, you will not contemplate suicide. I have over 100
Cool Ramblings, writings that are hilariously alive, stimulating, extremely real, and even funny.
All of this, sadly, just sitting, waiting, to be delivered, waiting to be discovered!
For this to happen, I need capital, money. I have been house sitting, caring etc around Christchurch to save the $$$ towards my writing. Alas, my life gets very filled up and my writing gets hidden.
That is why I am asking for FREE ACCOMMODATION so I can concentrate on getting a website, marketing, publishing etc so I can get this precious work out to our youth.
Whenever I hear of a suicide, I cringe – “My work could have helped that person!”
What can you offer? What can I offer you?
Please email me on youthwhisperer@gmail.com and let’s talk

As mentioned in the givealittle we have had a $17,000 vet bill for January and am asking if anyone can donate a little monies to the cause. Every $5 + you donate to givealittle (they will provide a receipt) where you can claim back 30% in your year end tax calculation. Small donations by a lot of people all add up to a lot. This is the silly kitten session and hence costs are always high at this time.
We are busy collecting free fruit and jars and making jams/chutney's and fresh tomato and plum sauce to sell at our stalls and making crafts (custions and cat beds etc) with donated goods. So we are trying to fundraise anyway we can with lots of volunteer support.
We will have a stall at the Sumner Market this Sunday the 12th and the Halswell Market on the 26th so would love to see you.
I have attached two recent articles about what we do and how we help stray cats and the resulting kittens that come from unsprayed animals.
Any questions please go to our website or pm me and ask.
Thanks for reading
