Cat Rescue Collection at Northlands Countdown Sat 26/11/2016
Hi Community.
Cat Rescue Christchurch collection volunteers will be the Northlands Countdown from 9.00-6.00 taking money and cat food/litter donations from the public. We are right into the start of kitten session so costs are piling up. Last year our little volunteer organisation rehomed and desexed over 519 kittens/stray cats. Last year we also had over $100,000 spent on vet bills which were covered by the likes of the above collections.
I have attached a story I just compiled of wee Nelly, who came to us in last kitten session full of cat flu. Our director called her 'snorty piggy' due to her breathing difficulties as a result of cat flu but will lots of love and medical care got her up to a healthy level that she was able to go out to a foster prior to being put up for rehoming. The foster fell in love with her and she became what is called in our charity "a foster fail"....lol.
Your donations go towards the medical costs to get this wee furbaby up to the healthy level to have the chance of finding her forever home and love.
Would love to see you on Saturday.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.4% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.6% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
