Cat Collection at Hornby countdown 9.00-5.00
We have two volunteers with donation buckets and bins for donated cat food, kitten food and kitty litter at Hornby Countdown. Would love to see you all so search out for those coins behind the couch, in the washing machine, in the jacket pockets or at the bottom of the purse or wallet. If anyone donated a dollar each, it would be amazing. A little helps when a lot donate.
Also go to our facebook page and see the call out for participants in our December KITTEN CUDDLES promotion. Get your business registered (cost of $50) and our volunteers will bring out kitten to your business for cuddles. What a great way for your boss to distress their staff before xmas, Search under Cat Rescue Christchurch in facebook and we will pop up. Make sure you like us as we are also crafting cat related items for sale for Christmas gifts.
What fun are our volunteers having at the moment.
Have a great day folks, and be generous with time, money and of course your smiles.

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!
