Foster Homes Urgently Needed for Neglected and Rescued Kittens or Cats
I am a Foster Mum through Catsncare, a very professional and very respected rescue organisation, and for five years I truly have had the most amazing experiences fostering homeless kittens and cats. Catsncare have the kindest team of volunteers and they work tirelessly to raise funds mainly through their Charity Shop in Silverdale so every undervalued kitten or cat is given a second chance of happiness. . Helen and Allen started Catsnincare in 2011 to give a second chance and a forever home for abused kittens and cats(some profoundly) but with lots of cuddles and playtime all my kittens have learnt we aren't all cruel and have gone on to beautiful home. I keep in touch with many of the adoptive families and love receiving updates and photos. Its not actually very hard to turn these sweet animals from scared to trust. There is no expense to the Foster Family unless you wish to contribute to food but it is not expected. Foster carers are supported and provided with everything including all Vet costs for Desexing, Microchipping, Defleeing and deworming, and toys to show its safe to trust and play.Just attending the appointments is all that is needed. At 12 weeks your beautiful kitten/s or Cat is ready for adoption Catsncare have a very popular website followed by caring families waiting for second chance kittens or for older families who want older cats for companionship. I am so grateful to Catsncare for the opportunity to foster and I would gladly help anyone who wants to know if they could too. . My cellphone is 0211677452 to query anything about fostering for Catsncare or for direct contact to register please phone 0272282273 which is manned all hours. Catsncare Volunteer Paulette
Artist Talks
Series of Artist’s Talks about Renaissance Artists:
Next talk, this coming Sunday, 28th.
Sunday 28th April Michelangelo - Fall
Sunday 26th May Caravaggio - Passion
Sunday 23rd June Rembrandt - Reflection
Sunday 25th August Van Gogh
Talks are by Blacksmith Chris Ellwood and his wife, potter and painter, Karyn.
Passion, pain and the papacy have influenced the work of many of the Renaissance Artists. Hear stories of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Van Gogh as we take you through their spiritual journey’s during a series of artist talks hosted as part of ‘Cafe Church’ over the next few months at Helensville Community Church, 40 Mill Road.
The talks will be in the form of a powerpoint presentation and will be very interactive, with questions welcomed throughout. Although neither Chris nor Karyn are academics as such, they have a real passion for these Renaissance artists.
Chris hopes, through these talks, to show the humanity, strengths and weaknesses of artists who lived in a very different time to us and had to grapple with their personal beliefs whilst existing within societies prevailing systems.
The talks will be a part of the Sunday service at Helensville Community Church,
40 Mill Road, next to the Hospice Shop and opposite Mitre 10.
Services start at 10.30 and are of a ‘Cafe Style’, with food and drinks available throughout as the Church is set up around tables like a cafe.
There is no charge for food or drinks.
