Cat owners urged to act ahead of this season's kitten explosion
If you adopted a kitten last Christmas now is the time to get it fixed.
The plea comes from staff at the Southbrook Recovery Centre in Rangiora, who face the trauma of finding kittens destined for landfill when they arrive at work.
Waimakariri District Council solid waste asset manager Kitty Waghorn said there had been issues with dumped and feral felines at the recovery centre for years.
It was upsetting for staff, and posed risks for native wildlife and the cats themselves, she said.
