We’re heading to the Tūrangi Craft Market this Saturday!

We’ll have a table full of bits and bobs, dog jackets, toys, and more, all to help raise funds for the busy season ahead.

Best of all, we’ll be selling raffle tickets to win an amazing hamper packed with all sorts of good stuff. The raffle will be drawn on Tuesday, 28 October, so make sure you grab your tickets before then.

Come say hi and support local animals. See you there!

As adorable as this wee one is, it marks the start of a BUSY kitten season ahead!
Right now, cats across the district are breeding and many are already pregnant or having litters.

If your cat isn’t desexed, they ARE contributing to the overpopulation crisis.
Don’t wait until it’s too late!

FREE desexing for select spots available at PetFirst Turangi -- call to see if you’re eligible!
$30 Snip n Chip vouchers available online through the SPCA!

No excuses! Get your cat desexed before it's too late!

Have some free time and a high tolerance for nonsense?
Enjoy being supervised by small, judgmental creatures while you go about your day?
Ever dreamed of relaxing mornings that start with a chorus of tiny demands?

If so, you might just be the foster we’ve been looking for!

One a serious note, fostering is something special. You get to be part of their journey, from uncertain beginnings to confident, happy kittens heading off to loving homes. It’s not always easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding.

We’re in desperate need of foster homes right now, and kitten season is already on our doorstep! If you can open your home and your heart to a cat or kittens in need, please get in touch. You’ll be making a huge difference!

!!UPDATE!! Tabitha has been adopted! Congratulations to her and her new owners!

Tabitha is a young cat, about 2 years old and lounging is definitely her favourite pastime, every single photo of her proves it!

She was once a community cat, cared for by kind neighbours after likely being abandoned, and spent over a year living on their property. Unfortunately they were no longer able to care for Tabitha and that's how she came to us.

Tabitha loves to flop down in front of you for a fuss and knows exactly how to make herself the centre of attention. She has a surprisingly gentle side too. She used to break into the chicken coop just to cuddle them, and was even found on top of some eggs a few times!

Playful, sassy and a bit of a queen bee, she would do brilliantly as an only cat or with a more easy-going kitty that's happy to let her run the show. She is a little wary of dogs, but does not completely mind them. What she really wants is a forever home with a sunny spot and someone ready to appreciate her mix of sass, snuggles and unexpected charm. ☀️

💥Update!!! Rabbit has been adopted!

Thank you to everyone who shared this post and helped Rabbit find his forever home ❤️

-----

Rabbit has been passed over for more than six months now. He’s grown up in care, watching other kittens get picked while he stays behind.

He’s a quiet, gentle boy who just needs someone to give him a little patience and love so he can come out of his shell. Once he trusts you, he’ll be the sweetest companion, and such a smooch!

He gets on fine with other cats and would do best in a calm home, either with older children or none at all.

Rabbit’s waited long enough. He’s ready for someone to finally choose him!

Today is International Day of Charity. It’s a reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.

For us, charity means helping animals get the love and care they deserve, and seeing them safe and happy in their forever homes. 💕

Every bit of support counts! Foster, volunteer, or donate to help animals in need.
