Our SPCA Wellington Centre has almost completely run out of and we are in DESPERATE need for paper box lids 😰
We use the lids of the photocopy boxes as disposable litter trays for kittens, and in the middle of kitten season, we need them more than ever!
We are so reliant on donations like these from the generous Wellington public and unfortunately, we are completely running out and need your help! 😰
If you're clearing out paper trays from your office or home, we would be SO grateful if you could consider dropping them off at our centre.
We are located at 140 Alexandra Road, Newtown, and it would mean so much to us!

Please write to LGWM.nz/saferspeeds AND to Councillors@wcc.govt.nz and mayor@wcc.govt.nz to ask Thompson Street speed limit be lowered to 30 or 40km/h.
Since the Inner City Bypass was completed traffic on Thompson Street increased and drivers routinely exceed the current 50km limit - just now 3 cars shot up the street at roughly 70km.
