Auckland SPCA Wish List

 

Our wish list is an opportunity for you to donate money directly towards a particular piece of equipment that the SPCA desperately needs. All the items are essential for our animal welfare work and include equipment for our Inspectors, Hospital & Surgery, and for our Animal Shelter. If you would like to make a donation towards a wish list item please contact us by email info@spca.org.nz or by phone on 09 2567300.

 

Animal Hospitalimage: Evie

  • Food and Water bowls $3 - 5 each
  • Ping-Pong balls $2 each
  • Kitty Cat tunnels $34 each (For ARC adoption rooms)

 

Animal Village

 

Materials needed

  • Our Volunteers are always looking for polar fleece (stretchy type or not) to make blankets for our cats and kittens to curl up on when they are in their cages. If you have any spare (a bolt or just a few metres) that you would like to donate we all would greatly appreciate it - especially our cats and kits.

  • We also need large amounts of Teslon and/or nylon parker material for our Volunteers to make carry cage covers with. If anybody can help us out we would very much appreciate it. We need lots of covers to make it less stressful for our cats and kittens when we transfer them around the village.

Animal essentials

  • Canned cat and dog food: We routinely need canned cat and dog food because if we have sufficient for the Village, we pass it to our Foster Families who are looking after our waifs.

  • Shredded paper: We can only use wide strips, not the narrow ones.

  • Newspapers, towels and blankets are routinely required for our animals. Please - no electric blankets, because we've discovered that the puppies will pull out the wiring very quickly!

Infection control

  • SanSmart Footbath Sanitisers - $488.80 (incl. GST)
    High-Wall Rubber Footbath to control spread of infection. Sole, sides and welt areas of footwear get a thorough bath to eliminate bacteria.

  • Stainless steel laundry sink (or twin-tub) approx 560cm wide x 460cm long x 270cm deep, for our Feline Team to sanitise cat litter trays.

Glenda has a team of knitters that knit mice toys and blankets for the SPCA has asked for the following:

  • For A3 size blankets for our cats/kittens
  • Blankets can be any colour/s
  • For ‘mice’ for our kittens
  • Wool: any colours, any ply

Please contact our Feline Team Leader Jenna in the first instance: jenna.fowler@spca.org.nz

 

Enrichment ToysRabbits need toys too!

  • Our rabbits like to be kept busy during their stay with us. Baby teething toys and rattles make good objects for rabbits to play with.

If you have any dishwasher safe "pre-loved" baby toys that are in good condition we would love to have them. Please contact our Feline Team Leader Jenna in the first instance: jenna.fowler@spca.org.nz

  • Assorted canine enrichment toys/items eg small plastic swimming pools, bungy cords, sand & plastic sandpits, balls (rugby, netball, soccer, basketballs), soft toys, dog toys

Administration

George's Barn and Farmyard

  • Part of our education programme consists of interaction with various animals who live in and around George's Barn. These consist of rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, pigs and goats. These animals need fresh vegetables and fruit to stay happy and healthy.

  • Electric Fence Battery Energizer - used or new

  • Plastic Rat Cages

  • Large Parrot Cages

  • Water Blaster

Animal Village Grounds

 

We try to keep the Animal Village grounds looking neat and tidy for our visitors who come out to adopt an animal, and our gardener Ben would appreciate the following items to help him:

  • Weed Eater for the village grounds - Commercial grade preferable
  • Plastic tray wheelbarrow
  • Heavy duty gardeners' rake
  • Heavy duty outdoor brooms
  • Industrial petrol driven waterblaster

Inspectorate

 

Ropes & other equipment (including leads etc) $400

We are always in need of specialised leads, collars, harnesses and ropes for handling animals during uplifts and rescue situations.

 

Running wires $40 each

image: pupsOur inspectors sometimes come across a dog that is tied up on unfenced properties by an owner who otherwise is trying to do the best they can for their pet.

 

In these circumstances an inspector may provide a running wire for the dog so that it can enjoy some freedom of movement for exercise and play. Sometimes a little education and a $40 running wire is all that is needed to allow a dog to have an improved quality of life within an existing home.

 

 

Muzzles $15 each

If dogs are injured, anxious or especially aggressive they pose a potential biting threat to our inspectors and hospital staff – in these circumstances a humane muzzle allows for safe handling & transportation of the dog with the minimum of stress to the animal.

 

Creature Comforts Op Shop

  • shop-style shelving is still deperately needed

  • a lockable three-draw filing cabinet
