Cat Collection at Hornby countdown 9.00-5.00

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

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.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
