CCTV

Chris from Maunu

We are wanting to install a CCTV system, in view of the horrendous crimes rates in Whangarei. We haven't a clue where to begin, so we are hoping Members can advise? We're Pensioners, so cost is a factor. What system can you recommend, how much did it cost and where did you buy it … View moreWe are wanting to install a CCTV system, in view of the horrendous crimes rates in Whangarei.

Introducing Beverley Dowling, our cat expert! 😻

Beverley is an Animal Compliance Education Officer who works through Armourguard to help people get their cats desexed, microchipped and saved on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register.

🐈 In Whangārei, all cats must be desexed and microchipped by six months of age. This change was introduced on 1 July 2022, and Beverley's job is to help achieve that vision.

“Our dog pound cannot hold cats, so my job is not about trapping and re-homing cats, or about punishing people whose cats are not microchipped or neutered." she says. "It’s about working with cat owners to help them get the benefits of snipping (neutering) and chipping (microchipping) for their furry friends."

“I also help people get the services they need when they report stray, feral or injured cats to us. It usually means connecting people to local SPCA, vets, and cat protection groups."

Beverley has been very busy since starting last year!
