“When I get up in the morning, I want to know that my joints are healthy, flexible and ready for the day.”
“I recommend Koru FX cream by Koru Nutrition. It’s New Zealand made, natural, fast acting and long lasting. It has become NZ’s #1 fastest growing topical joint and muscle support cream and I can see why.”
“Ask for Koru Nutrition’s Koru FX cream next time you’re in the pharmacy and try it for yourself.”

Calling all cat lovers!!
We are over flowing with cats & kittens in our care atm & I can't bare to see them having to stay in crates any long than necessary,
Do you have a spare room or a pet free home for them to roam?
All our kittys have various backgrounds & story's,
lost, friendly cats needing a secure, loving environment to be while we search for their family's to reunite then with
Abandoned or dumped - scared of people for many various reasons, but have once b4 been around people so just needing time & patience for them to go at their own pace about building trust for people again
Wild born kittens, these guys are starting from scratch with many milestones to still achieve, they can require alot more attention, like learning to just be normal happy playful trusting kittens, often suited well with family's with teens that are willing to take it slow but put their time into being consistent with them.
Perfectly socialised kittens requiring seperation whilst awaiting desexing appointments b4 put up for forever home adoptions,
All of these kittys will need to strictly stay indoors during there stay in your home, your own pets are OK, will just need a quiet private room closed off from other animals during their stay with you, kids OK, so long as they are supervised at all times around the kittys & old enough to understand & appreciate alot of these kittys are scared & have yet to recognise the love & care Us humans can show them so super important to not cause any undue stress & also to avoid any unnecessary injuries.
I'm available 24/7 for advice & questions & introduction involves through training as to whats required for each individual situation.
Please get in touch ASAP if you would like to give it a try, short term, long term, even sometimes just very briefly. We need your help!
Right now we have 2 kittys requiring urgent placements to get them out of crate situations,
1 is a newly caught cat from the Jville /tawa colony I'm working with, very shy very scared, requiring time & space to stretch her legs & allow her to settle into indoor life with food no longer having to be hunted & faught for. So far, very calm, will still have crate to help her feel safe & secure at this stage but be able to be open into a room to move when she felt comfortable to.. Spending time in the same room just going about your own thing is best at first for her to get used to your presence & to see we are no cause for fear for them, she may trust quickly, she may not, it's hard to predict however given its only day 1 in my care, I can already unzip soft crate she's in & put my hand in without being attacked or her trying to escape me. Have given a chin scratch with gloves incase & only showed a bit of fear to be expected but no aggression so far towards me.. Video below.
& we have Bear, Bear is our fluffy 5 month old burmilla /ragdoll x kitten, bear is booked in for desexing on the 2nd of August & once recovered will be up for forever home adoption. Unfortunately for bear, we have many female cats & kittens in our care atm & he is the only Male that's not yet desexed so sadly he's unable to continue to roam free with all the others at this stage as we don't need any extra pregnancy's!!
Bear is a lil shy but loves attention at the same time. We strongly believe that he is really gonna shine once away from all the other kittys here with a bit more 1 on 1 attention. He is litter trained & still a playful kitten so a lil time in your day for kitten play aswell as cuddles is required to keep bear happy & confident for a few weeks b4 ready for adoption. Vid below of shy bear also.

The good news is we’ve seen an increase in our recycling collections which means more people are recycling, we can re-use more items and less items should be going to landfill. This is great for the environment.
The bad news is that we’re also seeing more of the wrong things in our recycling collections that can’t be recycled. This is called recycling contamination and it can have an impact on the health and safety of hard-working recycling staff, who sort items by hand before it goes through the machines.
Staff safety is our top priority so, unfortunately, if there is too much contamination in a recycling load, we have no other choice but to send the whole truck load to landfill – which is disappointing for everyone involved.
Currently, the top five bad items/ contaminants in our recycling collections are:
• Used nappies and sanitary items
• Food and drink, including raw meat
• Metal items (including saucepans, coat hangers and electrical appliances)
• Hard plastics (not 1 and 2) such as takeaway containers, polystyrene and yoghurt pottles
• Soft plastics like chip packets, and other food wrappings.
Remember that our recycled waste has real value, it’s not rubbish. Our recycling gets sorted in Wellington and is mainly processed in New Zealand and re-used by businesses here, so it has a positive environmental and economic impact. We do need everyone’s help to do better.
Stick to the following basic rules and recycling is easy. The only things that should go in your mixed recycling bin are:
• Plastics with 1 or 2 on it (please don’t squash items)
• Aluminium or tin cans (tuck away sharp lids)
• Paper • Clean and dry cardboard. For glass recycling:
• Rinsed glass bottles and glass jars (but no lids).
Check our online recycling calendar to find out when to put your bins out and print a copy of your zone calendar at poriruacity.govt.nz/ recycling.

I am looking for a home with another dog that can help me grow and provide me with some support when life is scary. I have come so far since first arriving at SPCA and can't wait to continue learning more about the world in my home, my community and through training school. I am not the largest sibling in my litter though I will be medium to large once fully grown. All the more to love!
Being a young puppy I do require a home with someone around for parts of the day, this will help build my confidence around people, ensure I get lunch and help with general training."

Teams of 4 were given a marking sheet with questions 1-5 worth 5 points each, 6-10 worth 6, and 11-15 worth 9. The questions were fairly obscure, as evidenced by the results from many of the tables who had clearly only got 2-3 questions right. In addition to the general questions, there were two 'Who Am I' questions, one won by Jenny Lucas and the other by ?? The team who were declared the winners with an amazing total in the 40s, were the team comprising Leigh Corner, Tania Woodcock, Colin, and Lorraine Whyte who had great knowledge of New Zealand trivia. For those members who weren't even in the country to know many of the answers, some of the questions were a complete mystery! The team who scored lowest - was it 11? - were given the booby prize to share, though quite how they were to share it also remains another mystery.
