Cat Rescue Collection at St Martins New World 8am to 6 pm Sat 23rd
Hi everyone.
We are having a collection for Cat Rescue at St Martins New World tomorrow from 8am to 6pm. We currently have over 80+ kittens in our care (I say plus as I just heard another 7 came in today so it can go to 90+ very quickly) so are in desperate need of money donations, kitten food and kitten litter (small bags of kitten litter are around the $5 mark).
Please share in the Xmas spirit even if it is coins as they truly add up. Hope to see you all tomorrow. Not sure where we will be placed but come search for us or ask at the Lotto Counter (last xmas we where placed at the door directly facing the Lotto Counter and not our usual 2 spots)
May everyone have an awesome and safe Xmas break, and spread that extra love and kindness to children, the elderly and to animals (who do not have a voice).
Pss this is a photo of one of my previous fosters called Nina who was a unsocial stray who Cat Rescue worked with and now she is a amazing social loving pet and lives with her mother/family in Oamaru.
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

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!
