Companion animals are an essential part of life in New Zealand. They bring us joy, companionship, and unconditional love, and they deserve recognition, protection, and care.

Wee orphaned kitten from local colony showing his appreciation :) this wee boy was quite the challenge to capture as to small to set off trip plate in traps, to scared to come out to me & to young to know about food motivation as up untill 24hrs earlier he had his mum careing for his needs. He was 1 scared hissy boy when got him but 1 very happy confident boy now he has been rescued :) :)

I don’t like asking for help—honestly, I rarely do.
But right now, I have to. Not for me—for the cats who are counting on us.

FOUND-A-FELINE CAT RESCUE IS STRUGGLING.
We’re out there every day, helping lost, injured, deceased, & abandoned cats. It’s exhausting, heartbreaking, & also incredibly rewarding. But right now, we’re hitting a wall.

We urgently need support for:

TRAVEL COSTS to reach & reunite cats in urgent need—we get multiple calls daily from all over the region, due to fuel prices I have litrally had no fuel in car when some calls for help have come & had to turn them away

EQUIPMENT to safely trap & transport—ours is deteriorating from heavy use, showing just how vital it is including our microchip scanner

FOOD, SUPPLIES, & MEDICAL CARE—these have to be paid out of pocket as soon as cats are rescued.

I’m pouring everything I have into the work we do—but at this point, it’s not enough. Without help, we won’t be able to keep going. & that means more cats left out there without the chance they deserve, & more families waiting longer to be reunited with their lost furbabies.

If you’re able to donate, even a little, it means the world to so many wee paws in need.

If Only They Could Stay Forever

There’s a special kind of love—one that doesn’t speak in words but in quiet nudges, warm cuddles, and eyes that understand you better than anyone else ever could. It’s the love of a pet. A love so pure, so unconditional, that it leaves a mark on your soul long after they’re gone.

One day, you’ll reach down to pet them and realize their fur has grown a little softer with age. Their steps, once so eager and bouncy, will slow. Their playful barks or gentle purrs will become quieter, fewer. And you’ll know, deep down, that time is slipping through your fingers like sand.

You’ll find yourself staring at them while they sleep, memorizing the rise and fall of their breathing, the way their paws twitch in dreams. You’ll wonder if they’re chasing butterflies in some sunlit field in their mind, just like they used to. And you’ll pray, with every fiber of your being, that they know how much you love them.

Because one day, all you’ll have left is an empty collar, a silent house, and a heart that aches for one more moment—one more head tilt, one more wag, one more soft nudge against your hand.

They leave paw prints not just on our floors, but on our hearts. And no matter how many years pass, we’ll always miss them. Because a pet’s love is a gift—one that stays with us long after they’ve gone.

If only they could stay forever. 💔🐾

(Hold your pets a little tighter tonight. One day, these will be the moments you’d give anything to relive.)

We had recently moved & he escaped after only a few hours so will be very lost 😞 We moved from Staithes Drive North also in Whitby, so he may be trying to head back there.

Just incase.. please if you ever think a cat found under spca listed on this site may be your cat but the information says differently, please give them a call & request more photos be emailed to you to try to match markings ect. As unfortunately-human error happens way to often with these listing's & cats that have loving family looking for them pass it by because the details say its the opposite s*x or des*xed status ect doesn't match so they think it's not them.

Please follow your gut & don't take no for an answer if something tells you it's your missing pet. No harm in pushing to get your baby home. :)Just incase.. please if you ever think a cat found under spca listed on this site may be your cat but the information says differently, please give them a call & request more photos be emailed to you to try to match markings ect.

**Community rehome** - Tabitha, currently located in Kapiti 🐱

Unfortunately both of Tabitha's owners have sadly passed away and so she needs a new place to call home. We have not met this beautiful girl, but this is what we have been told...

"Tabitha is around 10 years old and was originally a rescue cat from the Kapiti SPCA.

She is currently located on the Kapiti Coast.

Both of her humans have sadly passed away and we are looking to rehome her.

She is des*xed, however I'm unsure if she is microchipped.
At the moment a kind neighbour is taking care of her until we can hopefully find her a new forever home.

Tabitha is a little shy at first but has definitely come out of her shell while being cared for by the neighbour.

She enjoys helping with the gardening, sleeping in the sun and loves to sit on the newspaper 🙂.

She would do well in a quiet household and would be the best friend for someone looking for a one on one relationship. In return you would have a loving cat that will always be by your side."

Please contact Chrissy directly if you feel Tabitha would work for you and your home.

Nobody has come forward for this beautiful friendly girl that once had a place to call home.. on the up side, this means this girl is available for adoption to the very best forever home where she can settle & be loved like she fully deserves. She is very much still a kitten that loves to play & we imagine would likley be great with kids. She is des*xed. Microchipped & now registered to us Found-a-Feline Cat Rescues as the original registered person left no up to date details to help us reunite them sadly. :(

This girl will be an amazing member of any family, she is loving, chatty, playful & young.

Please enquire asap if you'd like to arrange an audition lol :)

A blue/grey & white cat (Gender: Female) was found in Tawa, Wellington on 17/2/2025. See the found pet listing to enquire about this animal.

28/02/2025

Hi team, yes we have another kitty we need help with to identify.

This beautiful young girl has been seen hanging around tawa for a few weeks now & appears to be lost. She is des*xed & microchipped however sadly her details were never properly filled out so we don't know her name, her address or anything other than a phone number that is no longer connected so we litrally have nothing to help get her back home by.

She is a lovley cat. Clearly been cared for well in the past , is a little on the skinny side atm but being very appreciative she has been found. She is currently being spoilt at the home she turned up to for help.

Due to the lack of information for this beautiful girls owners we will advertise extensively for the 7 days legally required & if no owner comes forward (with proof of ownership) we will be looking to find this beautiful girl the very best forever home :)

27/02/2025

Do you know this lovley black fluffy cat living under a house In tawa? No chip found but technology does fail so please don't let this influence if think may be your cat, has distinctive wee cry, video in comments below. We would love to get this beautiful cat back where belongs asap. Thankyou :)

🌸🐾 Gentle Reminder for Cat Owners! 🐾🌸

Did you know that lilies are extremely poisonous to our feline friends? Even having them in a separate room can put your cats in danger. The pollen from these beautiful flowers can become airborne, and when your cats groom themselves, they can inadvertently ingest harmful toxins, leading to poisoning or even kidney failure.

For the safety of your furry companions, it’s best to avoid having lilies in or around your home altogether. Let's keep our pets safe and healthy! 💖🐱

22/02/2025

Please if anyone has possibly seen Sawyer please get intouch. His family are extremly worried about him & desperate to have him back home safe again. Unfortunately he had only been at new home for a matter of hours so would have got extremly confused when got outside to the unknown. Please keep eyes out when walking the whitby tracks as the new home backs onto walkway. Likley heading towards bp whitby direction. All possible sightings will be followed up , please don't hesitate to get intouch. He may be stealing your cats food by now also.fingers x we can get Sawyer home safe soon

Xylitol can be found in a lot of products and it's now being labeled as Birch Sugar because it's extracted from Birch bark. It's toxic to dogs, cats and ferrets.
Check your peanut butter ingredients before you give your animals any and if they get into something they shouldn't have, read the ingredients to know if you should get them to the vet right away!
