Since the 1st January we have taken on 105 cats & kittens in just 24 days! 🙀

😿And in just 24 days our January vet bill is already over $17,000! 😿

This our latest kitten to arrive in care who was trapped this morning she has joined her 2 siblings and we are hoping to get the last one soon!

As we have so many cats and kittens coming through our care we are going through a lot of litter! We need pellet fuel (the most economical litter) ASAP.
We are currently going through two to three 15kg bags per week!

If anyone could donate some and drop off please email us for an address catrescue.chch@gmail.com😽

Pellet fuel can be purchased at PAK'nSAVE or hardware stores, but currently not at Bunnings until winter. The 15kg bags of 'on fire' are $8.99 at PAK'nSAVE and are in the Fuel and Fire section of the supermarket. Any brand is usable.

If you would like to make a donation directly into our account to help with our vet bill our details are below😽

Help us save water this summer

The Team from Christchurch City Council

We’re asking all Christchurch residents to save water so we can end temporary chlorination sooner.

The less water we use, the faster we can upgrade our wells. It all adds up, and we really appreciate people’s efforts.

The biggest demand for household water comes from garden sprinklers and irrigators. A better option is to use a hose with a spray gun, or a watering can. Better still, water only on alternate days between 9pm and 7am, when it's cooler.
