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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
