Eden’s next Cash Mob will take place on Saturday, June 18.

What is a cash mob? The aim of a Cash Mob is to give back to the small local businesses that support our community through donations, raffle prizes and sporting awards.

The Cash mobbers will meet at 9.30am out the front of the Eden post office. 

Here everyone will be told the retailer we will be mobbing with the intention of each spending at least $20 in that shop on retail products or even a gift voucher, of course you can spend more than $20 if you want.

As well as the retail mobbing the mob will make time for morning tea at a selected eatery somewhere local too. Two businesses benefit on the day.

It’s a great way to meet new friends and maybe catch up with some old ones and you end up with some stuff for yourself and give a local business a boost.

Hope to see you there, if we each do a little it does a lot!

This is not a one off event. We have plenty of businesses who need our support.

If you are thinking of taking a kitten into your home, please take one that is already de-sexed so there is no risk of forgetting to, or not being able to afford the price of de-sexing when you kitten reaches five months of age and is able to conceive.  

Prices of kittens are subsidised ($200 covers de-sexing, 2 vaccinations, microchip, worming, flea & tick treated & vet check) in the hope that these rescue kittens will be adopted with all of the necessary vet care already done.
