Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!

2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away

3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!

Stay safe and have fun!

Last chance for free cat microchipping before bylaw enacted

Cat owners – get in quick if you still need to microchip your cat before a Wellington City bylaw makes it compulsory in February.

Wellington City Council and the SPCA are teaming up to offer free microchipping for cats every Saturday afternoon in November.

Councillor Peter Gilberd, the City Council’s Natural Environment Portfolio Leader, says microchipping has multiple benefits and is about doing what’s best for our pets.

“Microchipping is a safe method for protecting your cat that ensures easy identification. This is especially helpful during natural disasters when people are often separated from their pets, or if cats wander off.”

Following the Christchurch earthquake, more than 80 percent of microchipped casts were reunited with their owners, compared with only 15 percent of non-microchipped cats.

The bylaw requiring microchipping of cats over the age of 12 weeks was passed in August 2016, giving cat owners 18 months to comply. Microchipping events are expected to be busy so early arrival is recommended. Cats should be restrained in a cage or carry box, covered with a towel.

To ensure that Microchipped cats can be identified when they are found, their details need to be registered with NZ Companion Animal Register, which incurs a $15 one-off fee. None of this fee goes to the Council.

Free cat microchipping
Sat 4 November, 1-3pm – Newlands Community Centre, 9 Batchelor St
Sat 11 November, 1-3pm – Aro Valley Community Centre, 48 Aro St
Sat 18 November, 1-3pm – Churton Park Community Centre, 75 Lakewood Ave
Sat 25 November, 1-3pm – Miramar Community Centre, 27 Chelsea St

Further information about the microchipping programme and registration go to www.wellington.govt.nz...
