Kitten overload!

January 9th, 2012

Kitten season runs from round November to March so we’re roughly half way through.

 

With over 50 kittens in our care already, both at the Haven and out with our fabulous fosterers, we desperately need your help to find homes for both the kittens and their Mum’s.

 

If you are unable to help rehome, we can always do with help either in the way of financial assistance or donations of kitten food or kitty litter.

 

Please contact us for more information and as always, we appreciate your support.

Happy New Year!!!!!

 

We’ve welcomed 7 new residents – cats: Anne (pregnant), Misty, Molly, Ninja (pregnant), Molly, Willow (9 and a half months and has had kittens….grrr) and rabbit Marcy. We’ve said goodbye to 3 – cats Misty and Murphy and rabbit Benjamin.

 

We have 3 fundraisers coming up:

  1. 14 January at Bunnings, Porirua
  2. 29 January at Mega Mitre 10, Upper Hutt
  3. and 4 February also at Mega Mitre 10, Upper Hutt

 Please contact us if you are able to assist.

 

Volunteers/Fosterers urgently needed

It’s becoming increasingly common for some volunteers not to turn up for duty on their allocated day. Although coming to the Haven is purely ‘voluntary’, it is also very hard on those who do go in to volunteer when there is a heavier workload.

 

If anyone is able to spare a couple of hours – Monday to Friday 10-2pm or weekends 10-12pm, we’d love to hear from you.

 

We’re also in dire need of fosterers. Again, please contact us if you can help.

Pet of the Month

Please help us help ‘Milky’

January 12th, 2012

This is ‘Milky’. Milky was surrendered by someone other than his owner who had been looking after him in the hopes his real owner could be found. After searching various agencies, we haven’t been able to locate an owner.

 

Milky is a large pedigree, either 5-7 years or 10-14 years of age. It’s hard at this stage to tell as his teeth are in such poor condition, his mouth is full of abscesses and he is badly felted and will need to be shaved.

 

Despite the pain he must be in, he doesn’t complain and is very friendly.

 

He is currently at our vets being assessed and we need your help! We need to raise money as he needs a LOT of dental work and we’re now asking for donations towards costs. You can pay by:

  1. donating through PayPal
  2. by calling into the Haven during business hours (Mon-Fri 10-2 or weekends 10-12) or
  3. by posting a donation (noting that the donation is for Milky’s expenses) to:

Upper Hutt Animal Rescue Society

4 King Charles Drive

Kingsley Heights

Upper Hutt

 

Any help you can give Milky would be appreciated.
