Food and Blankets

We require large quantities of tinned pet food to feed our animal guests and donations of food are gratefully received every day from caring individuals and families, who make the drive out to our Animal Village.

As well as food, they bring us much needed old blankets, towels and newspapers, which are always welcome.

While out here at the village, people are welcome to look around our dog adoption area, cattery, or rabbitry, during our public hours of 10am to 4pm (7 days a week).

Another, and perhaps more convenient way, to donate food is to place it into one of our SPCA cantinas, which are located at many supermarkets around the Auckland area. These are emptied regularly by our staff and every little bit helps to feed our furry friends.

• if your local supermarket doesn't have an SPCA cantina, you might suggest they email us or ring us 09 2567300 and we'll happily supply one to them (it's free!)
  
  
• we organise the supply, installation and maintain our cantinas on an ongoing regular basis
  
  
• the supermarket benefits from additional sales of tinned pet food, which people buy specifically for the SPCA cantina, when doing their regular shopping

For more information about food donations or Auckland SPCA cantinas, please email our Volunteer Co-ordinator at the Auckland SPCA, or you can telephone on 09 2567300, between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

If you're outside the Auckland area, contact your local SPCA . They, like us, are always in need of food donations to feed the animals in their care.

Help the SPCA

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is New Zealand's oldest and most respected animal welfare organisation , providing service to the animals since 1883.

In the Auckland region, the Society's Animal Village at Mangere attends to the needs of over 18,000 animals per year. It's Animal Hospital helps thousands of cases of neglect and suffering through ignorance or circumstance.

Twentry-four hours every day, 365 days a year, SPCA Inspectors help numerous animals in distress and investigate countless cases of animal cruelty.

The Society lobbies to improve the environment to provide a safer world for animals and educates children to appreciate the real value of animal life.

The work of the SPCA is far-reaching and never-ending. It touches families and animals alike. It is achieved without Government funding (a fact that surprises most), totally relying on donations to allow its valuable work to continue.

Such is the esteem in which the Auckland SPCA is regarded and the compassion towrds animals felt by so many people, that each year its annual running costs, which exceed $2.5 million, are covered by donations from individuals, just like you.

Thank you for caring.

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show for any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it, or neglect it. For I shall not pass this way again -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
