Order your new 2019 | 2020 Entertainment Membership now! Support Manawatu Alley Cat Trust Charity
The new digital Entertainment Book is out.
Please buy to save money around Palmerston North, (includes the whole of Manawatu and Wellington regions) whilst helping to raise funds for the Manawatu Alley Cat Trust - a small, non-profit volunteer organisation that cares for stray and feral cats in the streets, alleyways and parks of Palmerston North.
There is so much work to be done out there. No one really gets to see the extent of undesexed stray and abandoned cats on the street, it is an invisible existence. The numbers are too high and we want them to drop.
Every cute tiny litter left unchecked will grow up feral, diseased and hungry, that is IF they survive. We are attempting to control the problem before it reaches overload- unfortunately we are at that point now.
We have good humane trappers that catch these stray and feral cats, they are then fixed and released if completely wild, or fostered out to homes that resocialise them and/or find them forever homes. We have a wee hospital like recovery room for the desexed TNR adults - a big thank you to a very generous and compassionate person who has set this up specially.
BUT, we cannot keep desexing and feeding the strays and supporting fosterers without money.
We need an injection of funds to help us keep going, one cat, one street at a time. This is our PLEA, every little helps.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
