2008 Campaign

Once again this year, Auckland Veterinary clinics have rallied behind the SPCA to promote the desexing campaign.

Here at the Auckland SPCA Animal Village, 530 cats were desexed over our Desex-a-thon period, which was a huge effort! While our Desex-a-thon has now finished, the campaign continues throughout the month of July in 48 Vet clinics across Auckland. You can check for your local clinic here.

Our Mission

The mission of “desex and the city” is to reduce the number of homeless cats & kittens entering the SPCA by creating public awareness and motivation for spey/neuter procedures.

With the help of compassionate veterinarians, who in some cases are offering significant discounts or
promotions, “desex” aims to move one step closer to a community where every healthy cat and kitten
can be guaranteed a loving home.

Fact: One unspeyed cat & her female offspring can produce up to 3,200 kittens in one year.

Fact: In one night one unneutered tom will impregnate as many females as he comes into contact with.

Fact: Every year, hundreds of unloved and unwanted kittens are born in Auckland because their owners don’t get their pets fixed.

Fact: Many of these surplus and abandoned little souls will die at a young age, unable to survive in
the world around them.

Fact: Hundreds of kind people feed stray cats and kittens in Auckland.

Note: If you take responsibility for feeding stray cats & kittens, also take responsibility for their sex control. Have them desexed now.
