Kitty Haven Cat Rescue are now offering $30 Microchipping. This includes the chip being registered on the nationwide database with NZCAR.
This is a good thing to get done this time of year as Cats tend to wander more looking for "Love," even when de-sexed and traveling up to 5km a day can easily get lost.
A registered microchip means your cat if found, can be scanned at any vet or rescue and be returned to you quickly.
Also a great time of year to make sure your information is up to date with NZCAR.
More information is available at.

Make up while driving

By the time we got to St Andrews she was on to the eye make-up. I am sure she will look gorgeous when she gets to work but it did make me think - what would she have done if the traffic had been up to speed along the road.

Christchurch has been named as a finalist for New Zealand’s most beautiful large city - competing against Tauranga for the honour.

Keep New Zealand Beautiful announced the finalists of its Beautiful Awards 2023 on Tuesday. The not-for-profit organisation has held the awards annually since 1972 and this year's winners will be announced November 9.

“The awards are a chance for Kiwis to put their community on the map and to celebrate a stand-out sustainability initiative," Keep New Zealand Beautiful chief executive Heather Saunderson said.

“This collective contribution is key to maintaining the biodiversity of Aotearoa and to creating a waste and climate conscious future for the next generations.

Christchurch was selected as a finalist in the large city category (major urban area with 100,000 or more residents) because of its council’s focus on sustainable local food production and distribution systems, a statement by Keep New Zealand Beautiful said.
