Cat Rescue Collection at Barrington Mall 21/07/2018 from 9-5pm
Hi Everyone.
This is the first time we have had a collection at the Barrington Mall, so hope the lovely people of the surrounding area's will beable to support our charity in the following ways:-
1. We will have collection buckets so if people wish to donate money then they can. If everyone donated a gold coin, it would be a good collection with monies to cover our very high vet bills.
2. We will have cat food bins, so if you are shopping at Fresh Choice, you might want to pop in an extra item of kitten food, or kitty litter into your shop, as opposed to donating monies, and come and put in the food bin.
3. Come and talk to us about our fundraising ventures we are involved in ie making crafts for our stall, offering to help with our vegan baking for sale in our stall at the Vegan Expo on October 28th of this year, or you could ask us about 'Webfair'.
4. Just come and talk to our volunteers about what we do. We are cat/ animal lovers and hence love talking about cats in general.
We will be situated (with a table) between the old Paperplus and the lovely ice cream place.
Hope to see you and if you could mention it to all your family and friends.
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!
