Even a little can help a lot!
Every year we expect our workload to ease up in winter, but it never does. This year seems busier than ever. We have quite a number of high needs cats and kittens in care at the moment and also have a number of colonies on our radar that desperately need TNR. The problem is we just don't have the funds to push on.
We have reached the end of June and are facing nearly $4000 in food, vet and operating costs that need to be paid over the next three weeks. Our fundraising team is working overtime to help pull us through, but we desperately need a helping hand.
We really need assistance in the way of financial support, but would also appreciate any help with supplies such as cat food and litter. Please let us know if you would be interested in sponsoring a spey or a neuter for a colony cat or if you think there's anything else you might like to help with.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
