We Need Your Help. (if you can)
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😽

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!
Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
