Boo - Too Cute to Spook!

Meet Boo! This little guy might have a spooky name, but his story began with a rather frightening start.

Boo was found all alone as a tiny neonate, cold, fragile and barely clinging to life. His chances were uncertain, but this little fighter wasn't ready to give up. With no mum of his own to care for him, Boo was taken in as an orphan by one of our lovely foster mums, who welcomed him into her litter and raised him as one of her very own. Thanks to her love and care, this little ghost made it through and grew into the adorable, cheeky kitten he is today.

Boo is searching for his forever home, where he can play, grow, explore and spend his days being adored. In return, he'll offer endless entertainment, unconditional love and just the right amount of adorable chaos.

So, are you brave enough to invite a little ghost into your home? 🐾👻

Casper - The Friendly Little Heart-Stealer!

Introducing Casper! This little guy is living proof that the friendliest ghosts come with whiskers, four paws and a rather impressive purr.

When he's not busy causing adorable chaos, Casper is happy to recharge his batteries with a cosy nap and plenty of affection. After all, even friendly ghosts need their beauty sleep!

So, if you've got room in your life for a little mischief, a lot of purrs and a friendly ghost who will make every day brighter, Casper might just be your guy 🐾

Dogs die in hot cars. If you love them, don't leave them.

Each year, we receive hundreds of calls about dogs left inside hot cars. Many assume that cracking the windows, or parking in the shade, eliminates the risk—but this is often a fatal mistake. Dogs suffer quickly from heat stroke, and the mortality rate of dogs left in hot cars is between 50 and 64%.

As a strong El Niño summer approaches, we're urging the public to spread the word on the dangers of leaving dogs inside cars. Head to our site to read more, and download printable flyers and posters to spread the word ☀️ https://www.spca.nz/news-and-events/news-article/el-nino-summer-brings-concerns-dogs-in-hot-cars

🐾LONG STAY HIGHLIGHT🐾

Mrs Ripley has been with us for 217 days ❤

Mrs. Ripley's story hasn't always been a happy one. She was found tethered in some bushes, left out in the rain with no food or water. It's heartbreaking to think about what she may have endured, but despite her difficult start, she remains a loving, affectionate girl who is eager to connect with people and enjoy life.

Mrs. Ripley is a girl with a big heart, an even bigger personality, and so much love to give. She's looking for someone who will see her potential, give her the guidance she needs, and commit to helping her become the very best version of herself.

Her past doesn't have to define her future. This beautiful girl deserves a chance to experience what it means to feel safe, secure, loved, and understood.

If you have the time, energy, patience, and commitment to help this special girl thrive, she could be the most rewarding addition to your family 🐾❤

It’s kitten season, and we need your help.

Our Centres around the country are reaching capacity. Every day, vulnerable cats and kittens come through our doors—but without enough foster parents, we simply can’t help them all.

Foster parents are a critical part of the SPCA whānau. They help us care for felines who desperately need a soft place to land, from tiny neonate “bottle babies” to queens and their litters (like this sweet girl here) and everyone in between. They reduce pressure on SPCA teams by providing temporary homes for our most vulnerable to heal, recover, grow and prepare for adoption.

As the weather warms, we need new foster parents more than ever. Could you be one of them?

There’s a foster situation for every schedule, experience level and lifestyle. We’ll provide all the supplies and training you need; all that’s required from you is time and love.

Think you could step up this kitten season? Sign up to foster today: www.spca.nz/fostersummer-2026

🐾UPDATE: Kuma has been adopted ❤

Meet Kuma 🐾

Kuma came into our care alongside his brother Shiro, and sadly, both boys were very underweight. He has been given the chance to grow, thrive and discover just how wonderful life can be, and now he's looking for a family to call his own.

Kuma is a real people-lover and a bit of a needy boy in the sweetest possible way! He loves attention, affection and being close to his humans. He's slightly less confident than his brother and may need a little extra reassurance and encouragement as he navigates the big wide world. Underneath that slightly cautious exterior is a gorgeous, loving puppy who has so much affection to give.

If you're looking for a loving little shadow who will adore being part of your world, and you have the time and commitment to help him grow into a confident, happy adult dog, Kuma might just be your boy! ❤

Meet Yuki 🐾

Yuki is a sweet, playful puppy with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles! She enjoys having fun, spending time with her people, and soaking up all the affection she can get. Yuki has so much love to give and is looking for a special family to grow up with.

Yuki is deaf, which means she'll need a family who is committed to learning a different approach to training. Patience will be important in helping Yuki learn, communicate, and thrive. Deaf dogs can live happy, fulfilling lives, but their training and safety require extra thought, consistency, and dedication.

Could you be the dedicated, patient family Yuki needs to give them the very best start in life? 🐾❤

🐾UPDATE: Sakura has been adopted ❤

Meet Sakura!

Sakura is a sweet, energetic puppy who absolutely loves people and is always ready to bring a little fun and excitement into your day 🐾

Sakura is looking for an active, committed family who will include her in their lives and help her grow into a happy, confident adult dog. She's full of love and potential, and with the right guidance, she has so much to offer!

Could Sakura be the special little companion you've been looking for? If you're ready for the responsibility that comes with raising a puppy, this sweet girl could be the perfect addition to your family ❤
