Frog and Olive are two pygmy goats who became the best of friends at our Māngere Centre – but their journeys to their fateful meeting weren’t easy 💙

It’s kitten season, and we need your help!

If you want to help vulnerable animals, but aren’t ready for the long-term commitment of adoption, then fostering could be for you ❤️

Over the next few months, we’re expecting thousands of cats and kittens to come into our care. Many will need time to grow, recover, and heal before they’re ready for adoption – this is where you can come in!

SPCA provides everything you need to foster, including food, bedding, toys, and medication if required. It’s not just cats and kittens that need short-term foster care, but animals like puppies and dogs, rabbits, and farm animals too.

Sign up to foster over on our website today: https://www.spca.nz/foster24

For us humans, Halloween lollies and chocolate are fun seasonal treats – but it's important to remember that the same can’t be said for our animal friends 🍬🚫

Sugar-free lollies and chocolate of all kinds present a big danger to pets, as their bodies can't digest them like ours can. Eating them can lead to severe illness and even death. This Halloween, please be sure to stay vigilant around your pets, and make sure the only treats they consume are ones made for them!

Shout out to Petdirect for the incredible donation to our Mangere Centre and our Community Support Programme! This couldn’t have come at a better time as we prepare for the busy summer period. Thanks Pet Direct warehouse team for the convenient labels. Zoe the pup is checking out the goodies and is thoroughly confused while in typical cat fashion James only wants to play in the box.

Today we'd like to give a special shoutout to Matilda and her friends, who have proven that you're never too young to make a difference for the animals! ❤️

Matilda is only 10 years old, and has created a Girl Scouts group at her school with the primary goal of fundraising for SPCA 🥰 They kicked off their efforts by selling cookies at the beach, and their passion led them to organise a cookie sale at school, raising nearly $300.

Pictured here, Riley, Matilda, and Lorenzo came to our Māngere Centre to meet the puppies and see how their donations will be put to work. Our team member Caitlin introduced them to little Lisa (who is indeed available for adoption!), who was thrilled to meet them.

A big thank you to Matilda and her friends, on behalf of the animals! 🐶😸

We just wanted to take a moment to introduce you to Enid, whose adorable markings give her the appearance of having one fabulous eyebrow 🥰😅

This sweetheart is waiting to be adopted from our Māngere Centre! ❤️ Meet her here: www.spca.nz/adopt/animal/615094/puppy-enid-auckland

Have you been considering adopting a dog or puppy? Now’s the time, with 25% off all canine adoption fees from 5 to 20 October!

As dog adoptions slow in the colder months, winter was a difficult time for New Zealand’s pups – but with school holidays and longer days, now is a great time to add a new canine family member to your home.

On top of saving 25% on adoption fees when you adopt a dog or puppy over this two-week period, our friends at Zoetis will throw in a Free Single of Simparica Trio flea, tick and worm treatment. You'll also receive a discount voucher for further purchases, so you can keep your new friend healthy and parasite-free.

Be their family! Find a friend for life this spring at www.spca.nz/betheirfamily

This 15-year-old is just the sweetest lady – and she's looking for a home to spend her golden years in 🥹 If you could offer her a space to call her own (free of other pets or young kids), you'll get the most loving, affectionate companion in return. Snuggles, headbutts, and scintillating conversation are just a few of her favourite hobbies, and you'll get an unlimited amount of all three!

Like many senior pets, she has some particular health needs, but our care team will talk you through them. If you've never considered bringing an older animal home, it can be one of the best choices you ever make – they're so, so loving, and just waiting for a warm, safe place to settle into. Get in touch with our Māngere Centre team today if Maddie could be yours, and visit our site to learn more about her 💙 https://www.spca.nz/adopt/animal/346705/cat-maddie-auckland

Cecil is a kind hearted and loving gentleman who is very well loved around the centre 🩵 He is always keen to say hi to our staff and volunteers, and loves nothing more than to cuddle up with his human 🥰 He is the best boy you can ever ask for! 🥹

It takes a while for him to warm up when you first meet him, but as you can see in the video, he’s warmed up nicely with Dame Denise after meeting her for the first time 🤗

Cecil is happy to go to an active and loving family, and will do great with a playmate 🐶🐾 If Cecil sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please don’t hesitate to put an application through the website linked below!

🐶 Meet Oliver 🍀

This handsome boy is on the hunt for his forever home 💚🐾 Our sweet Oliver has been with us since he was just 6 weeks old, after him and his brother were found roaming the streets with no mother in sight. Now he's almost 5 months old and he still hasn't had much interest 💔

Oliver is the biggest cuddle bug, and despite his size he is adamant on being a lap dog. He also loves to explore, run and climb. So if you love adventures or hiking, Oliver could be the perfect companion for you ⚾️💕

Oliver is going to grow into a large dog with lots of energy, so he will need an active family to keep him happy and healthy 🐶 He will also need someone patient while teaching him to be the best boy 🐾🍀

If you think you can provide Oliver with a loving home and family, register to adopt through the link below to meet him today!

Not even 2 weeks into September, and we have already received our first blossoms of kitten season! 🐾🐱

We had our first neonate kittens come into our centre today! How adorable are they?!🥰 Such young kittens will need to be fed around the clock as their mum would do, which is why we are always looking for foster families to help out during this time! 😽

If you are looking to get a taste of being a neonate parent, or have some time to extend a helping paw for our adorable babies, please apply to become a foster parent through our website! More information on what being a foster parent entails is listed on the website below!😇

We saw Suzi trying to play with the lambs on her walk today and just HAD to share this video with you guys! 😆 She was very confused why they didn't want to play with her 💔 While she won't make the best farm dog, she would be the perfect companion for an active family who will play with her to her heart's content 🥰 Suzi has been with us for couple months and is still looking for her forever family. We can't believe she is still here! 🥺 Due to her rambunctious personality, she will need someone with the knowledge to teach her to become the best girl she can be. Suzi is available to adopt from our Mangere centre. If you are interested in meeting and potentially taking her home, please put an application though on our website! 🩷 https://www.spca.nz/adopt/animal/612535/dog-suzi-auckland?species=dogs¢res=auckland-centre&breed=all&size=all&animal_id=&minAge=&maxAge=&pageNum=1

Which pup would your best friend take home? 🐶🐾 Comment below! Here's a little shoutout to just a few of the dogs and puppies we have available for adoption at our Mangere centre 💕 While some of them are still new to the shelter life, we have a lot of dogs who have unfortunately been having trouble finding their forever homes 🥺 Will you or your friend be taking one home? To know more about these dogs and puppies featured in this video, head on over to our website! 💗 https://www.spca.nz/adopt?species=dogs¢res=auckland-centre&breed=all&size=all&animal_id=&minAge=&maxAge=&pageNum=1

🐾💚 Fred Appreciation Post 🐶🐾 Our handsome boy Fred has been ready for adoption for more than 60 days and not a single person has come down to meet him! 💔 He is an absolute trick master who has learnt sit, touch, spin, and jump, just to name a few! He has an active mind and is looking for a home who can challenge him and give him plenty of physical exercise. 🌞 Ideally, Fred would be your only pet so he can soak up all the attention he deserves! He would also do well in a home with an older calmer dog. ☘️ If you're looking for a loyal companion and a hiking buddy to take on adventures, please register to adopt Fred today! https://www.spca.nz/adopt/animal/602552/dog-fred-auckland?species=dogs¢res=auckland-centre&breed=all&size=all&animal_id=&minAge=&maxAge=&pageNum=1

We never like to see animals stay long periods of time with us while waiting for adoption, but the one nice thing about long stays is the bond they build without team at the Centre 💙 Tripod Rudder has had a long journey at SPCA Auckland. He's nearing a year under our care. This means he has come to know and love the team here! Here you can see his morning routine, coming into the Centre with the team member who is fostering him and being VERY excited to have his daily greeting with the front-of-house team. Despite being 3-legged, Rudder is as energetic and mobile as the best of them! This boy is an absolute delight to have around, and we so want to see him get the family he deserves. www.spca.nz/adopt/animal/559738/dog-rudder-hobsonville for anyone keen to know more about this 10/10 good boi.

UPDATE: SPCA Hobsonville is now open again 😊 ** SPCA HOBSONVILLE CENTRE TEMPORARILY CLOSED** Due to an unplanned power outage in the area, our Hobsonville centre is temporarily closed. If you are needing assistance with an animal, please contact our SPCA welfare line or the SPCA Māngere centre on 09 256 7300. While the staff are finding their way through the centre, the animals don't seem to mind too much. Turn your sound up for some adorable purrs from equally adorable Sass.

Rodrigo takes his job as morning welcoming committee very seriously 🥰 Showing off his purrrly whites

Cyclone shows us his foot

How cute is this! Cyclone is one of the birds currently in our care, and he has a sore foot which we are needing to monitor. Our team have taught him to show us his foot on command so we can check it without needing to handle him or cause him any stress - he's such a good boy! 🥰

“Find the odd one out!” 🐔😂 Red Claw was recently adopted from our Māngere Centre and is absolutely LIVING. Usually found dominating the feeding frenzy amongst her wooly paddock mates, this girl has settled in beautifully to her new rural home, and we couldn’t be happier for her!
