Cat Rescue Chch -6 Month old Kitty Kat waiting for its furever home.

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Remember Miss Betty Boop, my previous post.  She was a brindle 8 week old kitten that I had been fostering.  She has found her forever home.

Remember Miss Betty Boop, my previous post.  She was a brindle 8 week old kitten that I had been fostering.  She has found her forever home. 

We are now looking for a forever home for Purdie (who came from the same colony) and due to the similar colouring, could be a half sister to Miss Betty Boop. 

Purdie is named as such due to the fact that she loves to cuddle and shows her appreciation via loud purrs.  Her foster mum loves her and wants her to go to a loving family.

Go look at the facebook link and lets see if we can find a furever home for Purdie and restore her faith in us humans.

Just because she is getting alittle older does not mean she will not make a loving companion!!!  Go the teenies.

2. Use your slow cooker, making larger meals and freezing your left overs
3. Use the microwave for cooking main meals & and reheating your frozen options
4. If your deep freezer is only half full, freeze a container of water ( I prefer to use 2 litre milk cartons) so that your deep freeze is full. This will help the efficiency of your deep freezer. As you purchase more food to fill your freezer, simply remove a carton of ice. (Also handy for the odd party!)
