Need a forever home for Trevor

Jane from Hamilton East

Hey everybody,

Bit of a situation and needing help fairly urgently...
For the past 2 months, Scotty, our volunteer, has been nursing Trevor (a community cat) back to health from a tragic event. For some time now, Trevor has been the resident and integral community cat at the Waimarie: Hamilton East Community House.

Unfortunately, his place has become unsafe for Trevor. As much as it pains us, he is needing a new forever home; and as stated - fairly urgently. Trevor is an amazing animal. He is very charismatic and has lots of love to give.

The owner we're looking for will be a responsible cat loving person. Someone who won't mind initially monitoring him inside for the first 1 - 2 weeks, giving him monitored outside time throughout, while he gets used to your place, getting ready to enjoy being outdoors unattended; confident that he (most likely) won't run away.

Ideally, someone who has a well fenced in, decent amount of space and not a unit living type situation. He is predominantly an outside cat. Also, you may already have harmless pet-friendly cats or dogs yourself, otherwise, Trevor will happily become the sole attention of your life.

If you are that person or know someone who fits that description, feel free to forward this post to them or tag them in the comments section below, and please contact us at Waimarie. Your help will be hugely appreciated! Thanking you in advance ๐Ÿ˜Š

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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, weโ€™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 โ€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
