BERHAMPORE COLONY CATS
If you don't already know, we ( Pōneke Ngeru Rescue ) has been trapping these cats for almost a year, since July 2021
For far, we have taken 22 cats and kittens out of the colony; most have been rehomed, and some are still with us.
We estimate these guys to grow rapidly next summer, and we want to get the colony under control. We need your help!
We need to start documenting how far the colony is spreading; we already know that they've moved over to luxford.
Obviously, at the moment, kittens are our priority. There's easier to tame and rehome, meaning we open up a space faster for another cat.
If you can help us provide food, traps, microchip scanners, and vet bills, I believe we can get this colony on lock by 2023!
These four kittens were born in our care by one of the mums we trapped.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
