PLEASE HELP US WITH JON SNOW'S VET BILL

Jon Snow was living rough through a bitter winter when we repeatedly saw him shivering, and trying to find shelter under a palm or fern frond, while heavy rain beat down around him. He was dirty, soaked, and forlorn. We brought him into our care.

Yesterday we gave him a thorough vet check, a dental clean & polish with two teeth extracted, a blood test, urinalysis, nail clip, ear clean, etc.

We are so happy that the results show that he is in excellent health.

Even though Steve from East Coast Bays Vet Clinic has kindly offered a discounted rate to assist with our multiple cat dental fundraiser, Jon Snow's bill is over $900. (See invoice in images).

Please help us with this significant cost, so we can book the next cat, named Pearl, in with Steve. Thank you so much!⚘️

WE WERE MISINFORMED

UPDATE: We were misinformed.
This dog was last seen at the Browns Road Countdown carpark in Manurewa - not in Browns Bay on the North Shore.

IS THIS YOUR BEAUTIFUL DOG?
A member of the public photographed her, without a collar, in Browns Bay Woolworths carpark.

This dog clearly needs to be with her puppies, so we have been searching Browns Bay vet, parks, beach, and shopping centre, without success.

If she is your girl, or if she is safely back with you, please let us know on this post or by private message, so everyone can relax. Our email address is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Thank you.

NOTE:
We would also like to know whether the red colour on her abdomen is blood, medical lotion, sunshine through thin skin, spraypaint, etc.

BOYCOTT FIREWORKS

PLEASE... don't be the cause of any of this misery. Boycott fireworks. Thank you.

HORSE RACING KILLS

Please don't support this cruel industry by betting or attending racing events.

Yet another two lives were claimed in Aotearoa New Zealand yesterday.

FAREWELL LITTLE GIRL

Today sweet Marley, one of our palliative care cats, passed to the next world.

Saying goodbye never gets any easier.

Rest peacefully cuddly girl. You were so loved and such a pleasure to care for...

We received the following lovely letter from the man who adopted Marley and her daughter from us 7 years ago. He entrusted Marley to us for her end-of-life care. Thank you for loving her as deeply as we do, Richard.

"Hullo Linda,
Such a sad afternoon yesterday to have our hopes for poor Marley dashed and have to part from her. Life can be so cruel. The only consolation is that without your selfless intervention it could have been so much worse.

Mere words aren't enough to express my gratitude for your love and devotion to her, and for your support and kindness to me. I know you'll understand that, much as I'd prefer to express these feelings in person it would be beyond me; even writing this is difficult enough.

It was a lucky day for Marley when you came into her life, and at least she was blessed with a good home with me for the remainder of it.

Your generous offer to bury Marley in due course has made that aspect a little less difficult. It seems so much more respectful than the alternatives.

In the past I've always dealt alone with losing beloved cats, so your love and support yesterday were all the more precious. With love, Richard".
