CITIZENS ADVICE COMMUNITY DIRECTORY
Hi everyone!
This is for all of you hardworking members of the myriad community groups we have in Kapiti. A heartfelt THANK YOU for everything you do....
AND a request from our Paraparaumu and Otaki Citizens Advice Bureaux volunteers for you to check your listing on our cab.org.nz database and please let us know if anything is inaccurate and needs amending. CLICK ON THE COMMUNITY DIRECTORY AND SELECT WELLINGTON AND KAPITI.
We get so many people ringing us for help (particularly because people find the local phone directory so difficult to use now) and would like our information on all of your community groups to be as up-to-date as possible.
So please email kapiti@cab.org.nz or otaki@cab.org.nz with any amendments (phone numbers, emails, description of services etc) and we'll get them done as quickly as possible!
Thank you so much 😊😊😊 See less
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
