🐾 We’re bursting at the seams! 🐾

Cat Rescue Dunedin is overflowing with cats who need homes – from shy sweethearts who just need patience and love, to independent types perfect as outdoor/barn cats (with food, water, shelter, and vet care). If you are looking for a barn cat, we can definitely help you out!

Every cat that comes through our doors is given the care they need, desexed, and prepared for a fresh start. Many have had tough beginnings, and our amazing fosterers work hard to help them heal and learn to trust again.

But right now, our fosterers are overwhelmed, and our intake centre is FULL. Adopting one of these lovely cats not only changes their life, it frees up space for us to help others in need.

Could you give one of them their forever home?
Check out our website (www.catrescuedunedin.org.nz/adopt) or ping us a message through messenger ❤️

Changes are happening at Mudpuppy! As you all know, times are tough, and the cost of living is at an all-time high. Instead of raising our prices yet again to help cover the rising costs, we have decided on another avenue. All of our wonderful groomers have been given the opportunity to run their own grooming businesses out of the Mudpuppy premises at Otago Petfoods!
What this means for our customers....not much will change, you will still drop your dog off in store and pay at the counter as usual. We will keep you up to date with the changes as we progress, and if anyone has any questions, please email Kim at [email protected]
I look forward to introducing you all to our new and upcoming grooming business owners soon!

As some of you may know one of our groomers Emersyn (Emmy) is leaving us!

Emmy has been apart of Mudpuppy since it first started and has probably been bathing and drying some of your dogs since she was about 10 or maybe even since the days back at Kim’s home business in Mosgiel many many years ago 😂 Once she left school after swearing she would never be a dog groomer, her mum Kim (the owner) got her hooked and started teaching her the art of grooming.

Emmy has been grooming full time for 2 years now and has developed some very close relationships with some of the customers and doggy’s! She is off to show Wanaka her grooming talent and will be grooming at The Hound Hub. We wish her all the best on her new adventure and we know she will be back at some point! 🐾❤️ her last day is Thursday next week so if you see her and her dog Meg floating around make sure to say goodbye!
