Wellington SPCA cares for over 6,000 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 unloved animals and where appropriate take prosecutions under the Animal Welfare Act. As the second-largest SPCA in the country, Wellington SPCA is committed to making a positive difference in the community.

This year is especially important to us, we are fundraising to move into our new home; the old Chest Hospital on Mount Victoria. We need to raise $4 million on top of our usual running costs. We are aiming to do this by christmas this year and we need your help. Click the image below to find out more about Fever Hospital and our REHOME project.

The last of the Fever Hospital Tours

Thank you so much to those who turned up for the tours, even after many people got lost on their way up! From the generosity of the community we managed to raise around $5500 for REHOME. We have been overwhelmed with the interest around the building, and are delighted to have had the chance to explain in person to people, what our plans are for the old hospital.
Here are some photos taken by staff during some of the weekend tours.
