Kittens 🐱

Kylie from St Albans

Hi all,
I’m looking for anyone who’s cat or knows of someone who’s cat is having/had kittens.
We are desperately looking for a new companion for my mother in law. After losing her last girl after 20yrs together a few years back she is finally ready to love another wee one again 💕 unfortunately we can’t afford the $200 plus it costs to adopt one through the SPCA. We would love to see her with a wee companion again as she is now in her early 70’s and on her own. The kitten would be going to an adoring owner who will care and love them endlessly! If you know anyone please message me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,it is much appreciated and I’m hopeful that a perfect match is out there 🤞

Kylie.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
