Greg is an exceptional healer

Although he predominantly works with human animals, Greg Villers - Energy Worker - Spiritual and Life Coach has been helping our stressed, ill, injured and dying rescued creatures for two decades. With his gentle touch and an inexplicable ability to promote healing, calm, change and well-being, many people and animals have benefited from his transformational work.

Victor the rooster is Greg’s latest animal client. Like so many roosters, gentle Victor was callously dumped on a roadside in Auckland where he was hit by a car and smashed into the gutter. He was in a skeletal state, covered in lice, unable to walk and with one of his legs swollen, dangling and swinging. In Greg’s hands he calmed and slept. Following the session he was peaceful, hungry and began to crow. An X-ray and medical help followed in the morning.

If you or your animals need Greg’s healing skills or if you would like to gift a session to a friend, please visit his website at http://www.transhealing.co.nz

Paul creates another outdoor cat area

Woohoo! The cats at the Animal Re-homing shelter have a brand new outdoor hangout spot.

Thank you so much to trustee Paul Johnson for all your hard work enclosing, re-cladding, tiling, painting, building shelves and installing a screen door. You've really done a fantastic job!

Also thanks to Rebecca for donating a snazzy big cat tree which the cats all adore.

Please help us with today’s huge vet bills!

Please help us with today’s huge vet bills!

Every one of Blu’s foot pads swelled up like water-filled balloons and a scabby area on his nose refused to heal. After a comprehensive vet check with multiple tests, he has been diagnosed with a disorder called plasmascytic pododermatitis. The veterinarians are hoping that his nose wound is related to this condition and is not cancer. We are waiting for his biopsy results.

Mandy was originally adopted from the SPCA by an old lady who passed away. She then lived with successive caregivers within the pensioner housing complex. When her final guardian, Thelma, had to go into a rest home, we collected Mandy and took her straight to the vet for the first time in 10 years. Among other procedures, she needed extensive dentistry.

Their combined vet bills so far total $1,739.83.

Craddock Farms Ltd was refused resource consent to build a chicken prison in Auckland, so they are taking it to the courtroom to try and get their way.

They want to build this obnoxious mega colony cage facility in the small South Auckland village of Patumahoe. It would keep 310,000 hens trapped in stacked cages at any time.

But what can you do about it?

As a consumer you have the power to influence the way businesses like Craddock Farms operate. So come along, get involved, lend your voice and together we will show that we will not stand for such barbaric practises.

Colony cages condemn hens to a life of agony. Each bird has a space smaller than an A4 piece of paper so they can’t walk around or stretch their wings. The small wire cages are kept inside semi dark sheds so the birds never experience fresh air, sunshine or scratching in the dirt. These cages are already banned or being phased out in Switzerland, Austria and Belgium, and supermarkets in Germany and The Netherlands refuse to sell colony cage eggs. When will New Zealand catch up?
