We need your help !!

Rosalie Howard from PAWS Op Shop

To curb the influx of unwanted puppies and kittens at shelters, PAWS offers free dog desexing for the first 10 people with a Community Service Card who contact our Facebook page.
Cat desexing is available for $30, and adult cats are currently 50% off at $50 each.

We have around 40 cats and kittens in need of homes, all desexed and vaccinated.

If you would like to help:
1. Adopt a cat or kitten
2. Donate decent quality clothes, household goods and especially furniture to our Kensington St, Putaruru shop, opposite the Police Station (Tue, Thur and Friday 10am - 2pm)
3. Donate cat and kitten food
4. Donate money (message the Kittens at PAWS page for how to do this), or donate cash at one of the shops

Thank you so much for any help you can provide

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Will these roadworks affect you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Don’t expect a quick trip between Cambridge and Tamahere for much of this year, because major roadworks are starting.

Asphalt works on that section of Waikato Expressway will run from March through to late 2026, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) says. Motorists are warned to plan for significant delays.

“Unfortunately the pavement, particularly in the slow lanes, has deteriorated faster than expected,” NZTA’s Roger Brady said.
