? Walk-in Caturdays are here!

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

? Our SPCA Centers are overflowing with cats and kittens ready to find love, and we're on a mission to get them into caring homes this summer.

? Starting 25th January, SPCA is offering walk-in cat adoptions on Saturdays to help our feline friends find their forever homes. No appointment needed – just pop into the Centre every Saturday during opening hours until 15th March and meet your new furry companion.

*To speed things up for you on adoption day, apply online via any of the cat profiles for your local centre on www.spca.nz... so we have all your details ready to go. Dog, small animal and farm animal adoptions are still by appointment as not all are in the centre.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
