Sadly many people have lost their lives, their homes and their livlihoods.. This has had an enormous impact on their pets, many of whom have been injured and also become homeless.
The biggest needs at present are for money to cover emergency supplies of food, vet care and emergency boarding
Our hearts go out to the courageous people of Christchurch who have lost so much, and to their animals. Please help us to help them, by making a generous donation to our Appeal.
We hope to have raised enough to be able to distribute donations soon. We can only do this with your help, please dig deep! We want the animals and their rescuers and carers who are working so valiantly to save them, to have the benefit of your donations as soon as possible.. Please do all you can to help the animals, and their rescuers and carers, who have so bravely battled the Earthquake

“Thank you for helping us.”
Visit to Cat Rescue Christchurch with our donation
Recently Melissa from Sydney Pet Rescue & Adoption visited Cat Rescue Christchurch in Christchurch, New Zealand and presented them with a payment of $1013.00 NZD ($800.00 AUD). This money was raised from the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal. Whilst in Christchurch, Melissa had the opportunity to visit some of the foster carers and foster cats in care - Below are their stories. Cat Rescue Christchurch volunteers Jess and Danielle G (in photo) work hard to look after many foster cats and to raise funds for the charity. Jess commented that since the earthquakes on September 2010, February and June 2011 they have had an influx of unwell kittens due to the mother cats being so stressed during and after pregnancy. The mother cats are not eating and therefore not producing milk for their newborns. There has also been an influx of cat flu due to the stress on the cats and kittens.
The money they have received will be used on ever increasing vet bills and medication for the unwell cats and kittens affected by the earthquakes.
Information about the cats and kitten visited - Cat Rescue Christchurch
Ginger Teddy
Ginger Teddy had a very bad case of cat flu and a bad ear infection that was left untreated as his owners did not want to pay his vet bills. After having him for a year they no longer wanted him so we took him in. After a course of antibiotics he is much better but because he was so sick (probably for a long time) he is still sneezy due to damage in his nose and will need six monthly vaccinations.
His temperament is very laid back and he is a super smooch. He likes to be held and sits in your arms. He is looking for a caring home with lots of people to love.
Big Teddy (the ear tipped adult fluffy Tabby)
Big Teddy was a cat that cat rescue de-sexed maybe a year or so ago and he was fed by caring people in the St Albans area of Christchurch. He could not really be handled. After our June 2011 earthquake Teddy was picked up by the SPCA. They recognised the ear tip as being one of Cat Rescue Christchurch cats and gave him to us. He was skinny and not in his usual area. We believe he was frightened from his home after the quakes and could have been lost for while. The people that looked after him could not be contacted. After much love and care our foster carer Danielle.G was able to get him to trust her and he is now quite friendly but still very shy. He is looking for a loving quiet home.
Roxy (White with tabby patches kitten)
Roxy had a bad bowel blockage but she is now on the mend and we are hoping she will be ready for adoption soon. Roxy was rescued from a backyard where her mother is a stray. She is extremely mellow and has the cutest wee face. She looks like she has some Persian in her.
Rio (tabby kitten with ringworm on nose)
Rio has a bad case of ringworm which is taking a long time to heal, as you can see on his nose. He has an amazing story as he is a panleukopenia virus survivor. He was extremely sick and one of the few in his litter to survive. Rio and his siblings were rescued from living behind a petrol station in flax bushes. Rio is a face smoocher and will be looking for a forever home once his ringworm heals.
Chloe (Danielle G's torty ear tipped cat).
Chloe was rescued from a slaughter house just out of Christchurch. Most of her colony was unsocial and could not be handled but were well fed and given shelter by the men working in workshops near the meat works. Chloe was de-sexed (and ear tipped) and was going to be put back with the colony but we noticed she was a little different. She had problems balancing and would fall over! After a few more vet checks and tests it was found that she had cerebellar hypoplasia causing her to loose balance.
Danielle.G decided to adopt her as her own and pay her huge vet bills, and has nursed her back to being a very happy cat. She still has ongoing medical needs and it takes a lot of patience and care to keep her healthy. She is such a friendly cat now and absolutely loves her mummy.
On behalf of the animals…. THANK YOU.

Urgent message from Cat Rescue Christchurch
“Please help Cat Rescue Christchurch in the aftermath of the earthquake! We have 60 cats in our care and have had to cancel five upcoming fundraisers. As adoptions will be slim to none over the coming weeks, we will have these cats in our care for a lot longer than usual. Can you help Cat Rescue by making a donation towards our vet bills to care for our cats at this difficult time? We also now have in our care additional cats who have been rendered homeless by the earthquake and will be having to feed and provide vet care for them as well. Donations of any amount are welcome. Thank you for your support”
