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.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
