We Need Your Help. (if you can)

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Since the 1st January we have taken on 105 cats & kittens in just 24 days! 🙀

😿And in just 24 days our January vet bill is already over $17,000! 😿

This our latest kitten to arrive in care who was trapped this morning she has joined her 2 siblings and we are hoping to get the last one soon!

As we have so many cats and kittens coming through our care we are going through a lot of litter! We need pellet fuel (the most economical litter) ASAP.
We are currently going through two to three 15kg bags per week!

If anyone could donate some and drop off please email us for an address catrescue.chch@gmail.com😽

Pellet fuel can be purchased at PAK'nSAVE or hardware stores, but currently not at Bunnings until winter. The 15kg bags of 'on fire' are $8.99 at PAK'nSAVE and are in the Fuel and Fire section of the supermarket. Any brand is usable.

If you would like to make a donation directly into our account to help with our vet bill our details are below😽

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
