Do you have some free time up your sleeve this Sunday?

Our wrapping station at Palmerston Shopping Centre is off to a great start, and we had so many lovely customers today that we experienced a bit of a backlog (more than once).

If you are free tomorrow, please feel free to pop by the stall at any time between 10.00am and 3.00pm to lend a hand. We are easy to spot. The PAWS wrapping station is just outside the entrance Target.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer at some point between now and December 24th (the final day of our wrapping station), please email Lisa at [email protected].

No amount of time is too small.

Meet Jamie - A sweet soul looking for her furever family!

🐱 9 Month Old Domestic Short Hair
🐾 Desexed and vaccinated, with microchipping included

Jamie started as a scared little kitten afraid of the very big and very new world around her. Slowly but surely she has been introduced to lots of new people, animals, and experiences that have helped her grow into a cuddly and charming cat! While Jamie can show her shy side to strangers, she's especially fond of other cats and dogs, and will quickly befriend any furry companion that comes her way.

Jamie was extra scared when she first came into her current foster home, but with her carer's love, patience and understanding, Jamie revealed her affectionate and gentle nature. Although her quiet countenance can come across as aloof, Jamie has no less love to offer for her new family.
