Cat Rescue Collection at St Martins New World Sat 22/12/2018
If you live around the area, come and say Hi.
We have made a very rustic xmas tree from a pallet and cut out photo's of some of our current foster kittens and turned them into a xmas tree decoration.
We are calling it a 'KITTEN FOSTER XMAS TREE' AND WHEN YOU DONATE, YOU CAN DECORATE. WE ARE GOING TO SEE HOW MANY TIMES WE CAN DECORATE THE TREE. We have about 50 decorations (fosters) although I know we have over 100 in our care at the moment. 8 came into our care yesterday only, so maybe many more by tomorrow.
We require money donations (to cover vet bills as our last years December Vet bill was over $12,000 and January was over $20,000), OR kitten sachets OR kitty litter (you can buy small bags). We appreciate every single donation at this time.
Yesterday, I personally picked up a two stray kittens and unfortunately one did not make it (despite all our efforts at the vets), but I will plaster a smile on my face tomorrow and face the lovely community and ask for your help so we can get all these mumma and dada cats desexed so this does not happen again. I named him George and he is the wee kitten in the top of the photo below. He was sleeping in this photo but went down hill very quickly RIP wee George. Your short life was important and valued (estimated at 6 weeks).
The last three photo are off some of the foster kittens that we used for the decorations.
See you all tomorrow.
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️
As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.
With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?

44.4% Yes - we like to be prepared
