“Today is the two-year adoptaversay of Klio and Quintus (Charlotte and Quinn). How pawsome! We wanted to let you know that they are both doing very well. Klio went from being very shy to now insisting on always being on our laps. Always. Even to the point of trying to get up before we have fully sat down. Quintus was diagnosed with diabetes last January, but has responded very well to the insulin injections and continues to be quite chatty and fluffy. Wishing you all well, and thank you again to the whole team -- your mahi and aroha make such a difference in the lives of kitties and humans alike.”

CHRISTCHURCH RABBIT RESCUE

Meet Graham 🎩
Graham is a very sweet lad, who isn’t quite sold on people but is learning some of us only come bearing treatos!

Meet Graham 🎩
Graham is a very sweet lad, who isn’t quite sold on people but is learning some of us only come bearing treatos!
Sadly for Graham he was “set free” at Christmas time when most of the neighbours were away 🥺 This meant it took at least 3 weeks for help to be called for him, and all this while he was getting about with a sore footie 🦶 his owners never came forward nor owned up despite many knowing which property Graham originally lived on

The exact causes of the sore foot remain unknown until Graham learns to speak, however it’s obvious he will at the very least need x-rays to see if surgical intervention is needed to ensure he is not in any pain 💊 We’re staring down the barrel of at least $400, nearing $2000 if we have to stabilize his joints in surgery 💸

Humans have let Graham down in the past and be damned if we are going to let him down too.

Can you spare us $1? If each person who saw this post gave us just $1, we would have Grahams xrays covered with enough left over for a pack of treats!

Parking by Harvey Norman & Super cheap Auto

Pip from Cannons Creek

Do not park in the Harvey Norman car park if you are also going to the Library . They have a person monitoring where you go. When you leave your vehicle for the library they give you a $65 dollar ticket. So how does a big chain store get more parks than the Public library? Who was part of that … View moreDo not park in the Harvey Norman car park if you are also going to the Library . They have a person monitoring where you go.

If you visited in Spring to view the tulips you will see how very different a seasonally planted garden can appear at various times of the year.

We are very proud to say that our garden is to be featured in the New Zealand Gardener in a couple of months time so if you would like to experience the real life version please come and visit this Sunday.

This year's award-winning Wasp Wipeout campaign is now underway and once again we're appealing to anyone who wishes to get involved with the campaign by volunteering their time to help lay bait in wasp-ravaged areas.

If spare time is a rarity - not to worry! This year’s Givealittle page is now live and we’re aiming to fundraise $25,000 for the Tasman Environment Trust. All money raised will go towards the purchase of bait and bait stations to continue and expand wasp control operations.

Find out more about this destructive pest by reading through our new interactive feature on Stuff which explores the tools we have in the fight to rid wasps from New Zealand for good.
