BERHAMPORE COLONY CATS

Kirihika from Island Bay

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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
