Wellington SPCA and other animal welfare organisations spend a huge amount of time and effort trying to find homes for the large numbers of cats brought into their centres each year. But these efforts are often thwarted by the vast number of kittens that also end up in their care.

Wellington SPCA cares for around 5,000 animals each year at our animal centres located in Newtown and Waikanae. We never turn away an animal in need of help. We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome abused, neglected and unwanted animals and where appropriate take prosecutions under the Animal Welfare Act.
