Ten Lives New Norfolk Op Shop builds on success of Margate and North Hobart Rich East, of Ten Lives Cat Centre TEN Lives Op Shops have become a muchloved part of the Hobart second-hand community. With shops in North Hobart and Margate, it was with great excitement that we recently announced the opening of a new store in the ‘Valley of Love’, New Norfolk. The store, which opened in early May, takes a prominent position along the busy High St amongst other second-hand and antique shops. “New Norfolk has always been a destination town for op shoppers and treasure hunters, so it is with great pleasure that we can be a part of that,” Ten Lives manager Noel Hunt said. “We are confident the new store will do well and be an asset to the community.”
But it’s not just the bargain hunters that are happy. Our Op Shops generate muchneeded funds that allow the Centre to deliver vital services such as surgeries and vet treatments. “Every purchase helps our cats and kittens,” volunteer and op shop coordinator Jonathan Harvey said. “A bottle of Meloxican costs around $11. So, if you buy 3 t-shirts at $3-$4 each from the op shop, that pays directly for an item in our vet room.” The New Norfolk store will also stock a range of cat and dog supplies, including toys and food. Right now there are no pet stores in the area, with customers needing to travel elsewhere to buy premium food. The new store will fill that gap in the market, but also widen the reach of our key messages of
cat containment and welfare. A range of cat and dog supplies has also been introduced in the Margate and North Hobart stores. As those who have visited a Ten Lives Op Shop will know, the store wouldn’t be complete without a resident kitty. Just like our Margate and North Hobart stores, New Norfolk will feature a cat awaiting adoption.
“Having a cat onsite really sets us apart from other Op Shops,” Jonathan said. “It also reminds customers that their support is going directly to the welfare of the cats and kittens in need.” Ten Lives would like to thank all the volunteers and staff who contributed to the opening of the New Norfolk store. New
volunteers who are interested in helping out should contact the Centre.
