Looking for this little kitty's home.🐱
Hi everyone,
AWESOME NEWS CAT AND OWNER HAVE BEEN REUNITED LAST NIGHT!
OWNER VERY GRATEFUL AS SHE HAS HAD THE KITTY FOR 12yrs.
I have had this little guy/girl think a Male..
around for awhile on and off and now has decided to stay around, over the last 3 weeks.
It has think winter coat on now. a white tuff on the chest. Not a kitten.
Has short little legs (kinda like munchkin breed) abit shy but after a bit of coaxing and feeding I can now pat it. This cat just melts, purrs very affectionate. But weary.
Haven't been able to catch to put in cat cage to do a microchip scan at vet.
We cant rehome it should we fail to locate owners, 2 out 4 in family have allergies, pushing my luck with the 1 we have.
Really wanting to help this little cat, it's cold, lives in lean to, sneaks inside when our cat goes out and sleeps behind furniture,
Let me know if maybe someone out would like to give it him a new home, if owners are not located???

Thanks.
Rangiora after-hours clinic faces more delays
By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter
The wait continues for a promised North Canterbury after hours healthcare facility.
Work is yet to begin on the proposed new Rangiora Medical Centre at the Rangiora Health Hub on Ashley St, which was first proposed more than five years ago.
The Waimakariri District Council granted a resource consent for the project in 2022, while the building consent is still being processed.
A council spokesperson said the application was on hold while some civil construction details are resolved by the applicants’ consultants.
‘‘We hope to be able to grant the consent in the very near future.’’
The Ministry of Health entered into an agreement with South Link Health Group in 2021 to build the after hours facility, following a petition being presented to the former Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) two years earlier.
South Link Health Group is a network of 26 medical practises, and is responsible for funding and constructing the new facility.
It will include full radiology services (ultrasound, CT and MRI scans), GP services, a pharmacy, and urgent after hours healthcare.
A spokesperson for South Link Health said in December work was expected to begin on the site in March, with the medical centre on track to open in the first half of 2025.
In the meantime, limited after hours healthcare is available at Durham Health, Rangiora, and the Amberley Medical Centre, and at local pharmacies.
Residents can ring 111 in an emergency, contact their GP to speak to a triage nurse, call Healthline 0800 611116 for free advice from a nurse, or arrange online video consultations with a doctor (for a charge).
The after hours triage service is delivered by Whakarongarou and operates in North Canterbury, with access to a St John paramedic if a face to face assessment is required.
A rural after hours service, Ka Ora Telecare, offers phone or video consultations with a doctor. Go to kaora.co.nz/app/services/sub-services/3. The Pegasus 24 Hour Surgery in Christchurch is also available.

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
