Eva's Attic

We have started to plant flax plants around the boundary, kindly donated by one of our biggest supporters (my mum). They are already quite big and they shouldn’t take too long to grow huge. We have also planted more pittosporums but they are only little.

Sadly some of rehabilitating patients have died. One of the seagulls, our more pork and hedgehog. These animal come to us because they are wonky (sick or injured, sometimes both). Sometimes there just isn’t anything we can do.  

We have successfully released 2 Kereru and a seagull. We still have 1 Kereru and 1 seagull in our care. We took the seagull to Petone beach where he flew away.

Today I was driving down Taita Drive (very common street for animals to get run over) and saw a dog on the side of the road. I turned around because the side of a road is no place for a dog. He had been hit by a car! Someone who heard the bang did the right thing by calling the SPCA, the dog was in a very serious state I got Carolyn to cancel the SPCA inspector and I took him to the after hours vet clinic. He was an entire male pit bull with no collar or micro chip, just wearing a red scarf. He was very pale, couldn’t stand and his breathing was laboured. Despite our best efforts his condition worsened, he started coughing up a lot of blood, and screaming in pain. He was trying to die, we had no choice but to put him out of his misery. It was very sad but I was with him until the end. I hate that people don’t stop when they hit an animal, there is no excuse for it  

For those who don’t already know we get regular donations from Eva’s Attic. Eva’s Attic is a premuim pre loved clothing store in Wellington. It is fully manned by volunteers and all proceeds are donated to FIVE charities. Carolyn works there every Friday, I am the volunteer coordinator and we have another HUHA volunteer there on Wednesdays. We are always looking for more volunteers to help at Eva’s attic, let us know if you are interested 526 3630.
