⚠️ Keep your pets, farmed animals and horses safe this Guy Fawkes ⚠️

Sadly, with fireworks expected around the country tonight (and residual fireworks being let off at random over the coming weeks), it’s important to take precautions to ensure the safety of your pets.

🗒️ Please ensure your pet’s microchip details are up to date. We cannot stress this enough – every year, terrified pets go missing after fleeing from fireworks. You can log in and do this at www.animalregister.co.nz
🏠 Keep pets indoors with windows, doors, and curtains closed.
🛏️ Make sure pets have an enclosed space where they can hide and feel safe.
❤️ Stay home with your pets where possible.
🐎 Ensure farm animals including horses are secure, and check fences and surrounding areas for anything that could cause injury.
🎵 Turn on the radio for background music.

To assist with that final tip, we’re again promoting “Concert for Animals” - a specially curated evening of soothing classical music airing from 6pm to midnight on 5 November on RNZ Concert. The programme offers a calming alternative to help mask the noise of fireworks, so be sure to tune in.

Animals around the country are crying out for foster homes 🥺

With the arrival of warmer weather and kitten season in full swing, our Centres are overflowing with vulnerable animals in need. We see more enclosures fill up every day, and we’re running out of space. We desperately need help to reduce the pressure on our staff and Centre volunteers – and that’s where you come in.

By becoming a foster parent, you can give cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even farm animals a temporary home to help them recover and grow, while freeing up space for the next animal in critical need. We provide food, medication, and equipment – all at no cost to you! You provide love, time, and a safe place to heal 💙

And the best news is, almost everyone can foster! Whether you work full-time, have kids or pets, share your space with flatties, or can only commit for a short time – we’d love to hear from you.

Give our animals a helping hand this summer season – become an SPCA foster hero today! 🐾 www.spca.nz/foster25

From hissing and back-arching, to purring and cuddles, Empurress Purry Pants (yes, that's her name!) came a very long way in SPCA's care! 😅🩵

Brought into our Napier Centre after being found in a trap, Empurress did everything she could to be appear tough - though that facade melted away pretty quickly, once she realised just how nice cuddles and chin-scratches are.

We love happy endings ❤️🐾

This wee girl (previously named Porsche) was adopted by a lovely young lad who has poured his heart and soul into her.
Now named Mahina 🌙 - meaning Moon/Moonlight, she has learnt Te Reo commands and is a bilingual doggo now!
And her new Dad sure has a talent for capturing beautiful photos of her ❤️🌈

🦎It's not every day SPCA staff get a call about a SNAKE in the garden 😯... but our Napier team didn't hesitate to assist! Much to their relief, the snake in question was infact, Bluey, a well loved pet who had been missing for over a year! With the help of our friends at HB Bird and Wildlife Bluey the Blue Tongued Lizard was reunited with her family today. Well done to all!🦎
