Four furbabies need your help.
Sometimes our beautiful companions have some extra special needs.
While we do what we can to give them love, assurance, and see to their general health needs, there are some things that we need to ask additional help for.
We have Fabian, Josie, Magpie and Minka that, due to age; bad diet; or not getting the care they deserved before coming to us, require dental care ranging from teeth cleaning, to teeth extraction (one has just had their dental).
Dental care is expensive and costs between $400 and $800 per cat. Total this by 4 and we are looking at a vet bill of $1,600 to $3,200.
Being a charitable organisation means we relay on all you generous humans to help us look after our furry friends who have to yet to find their forever homes.
We have set up a Givealittle page in the hope that you can help us to help them. If you can, please donate at givealittle.co.nz...
for this specific cause. (Every dollar helps.).
Thank you for your support as we can't do it without you.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
