Hi everyone.
We are having a collection for Cat Rescue at St Martins New World tomorrow from 8am to 6pm. We currently have over 80+ kittens in our care (I say plus as I just heard another 7 came in today so it can go to 90+ very quickly) so are in desperate need of money donations, kitten food… View moreHi everyone.
We are having a collection for Cat Rescue at St Martins New World tomorrow from 8am to 6pm. We currently have over 80+ kittens in our care (I say plus as I just heard another 7 came in today so it can go to 90+ very quickly) so are in desperate need of money donations, kitten food and kitten litter (small bags of kitten litter are around the $5 mark).
Please share in the Xmas spirit even if it is coins as they truly add up. Hope to see you all tomorrow. Not sure where we will be placed but come search for us or ask at the Lotto Counter (last xmas we where placed at the door directly facing the Lotto Counter and not our usual 2 spots)
May everyone have an awesome and safe Xmas break, and spread that extra love and kindness to children, the elderly and to animals (who do not have a voice).
Pss this is a photo of one of my previous fosters called Nina who was a unsocial stray who Cat Rescue worked with and now she is a amazing social loving pet and lives with her mother/family in Oamaru.

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.

I'm aware earlier this year I put some posts up and I have since been wrongly accused of some very horrible things.
This Xmas I am following in my normal path of caring about others.
I came out of Avondale red zone and did a lot of volunteering and had a letter of commendation written by mayor bon Parker for all my hard work.
For the past couple of weeks I have been back and spending time at wainoni avonside community trust with betty Chapman community organiser and earthquake award recipient. She run lots of weekly events for people of the earthquake damaged areas mainly elderly. Most don't have a lot of money.
They are having their Xmas end of year lunch and paying $5 A head. Sixty have signed up for it. She has told me so far all they have been able to obtain is roast chicken and lettuce.
As an act of kindness I've been trying to find places to provide/donate salads, breads, deserts, Christmas crackers, presents but haven't got anywhere. I've bought little candy canes for them all so far. Betty has also said some will be lonely while the trust is closed for the month over Xmas so perhaps some could do visits or organise day trips.
Wouldn't it be nice if we from the north could pull together this Xmas and show some compassion and give these people still living in highly earthquake damaged areas and homes a Christmas to remember from this side of town.
I feel guilty as it's only a small number that I'm reaching out too but next year I want to do it on a larger scale as a weekend of acts of kindness involving businesses like gardeners, hair dressers, massages, hot pool vouchers, builders, etc.
Sometimes we forget six years on how bad it still is over there for some of them, I know some on this side of town have damaged houses but it is still horrific in some parts over there with loss of community centres businesses, like banks pulling out.
I take my hat off to those businesses trying so hard to do well and please support them in the brighton area before we loose them.
The lunch is this Wednesday at 878 avonside drive. Please message me if you can assist.
Have a safe merry Xmas and happy New Year and take it easy on the roads, be patient take extra time to get somewhere. Don't drink and drive we don't want casualties.
Please also don't forget sunscreen on everyone regularly as it's going to be a hot summer and the same with insect repellent I've been advised there's going to be a lot of biting insects about as we had hardly had any frosts this winter.
Lots of water for your animals and keep them in shaded areas, leave them at home preferably not in cars when it's hot.

APS stands for Action Potential Simulation. Action potentials are the tiny bursts of electricity that transmit information in the body, otherwise known as ‘nerve signals’.
The APS Therapy machine sends a copy, or ‘simulation’, of action potentials through the cells using electrodes attached to the skin. It is applied in the same way that a TENS machine is applied, but works in a very different way.
Treatment involves sitting comfortably for around 30 minutes and is absolutely safe and pain-free.
