These two boys bring out the best in each other and would love to find a home where they can stay together.

A huge shout out and thank you to our wonderful community!

We are absolutely blown away by the support you’ve shown for Pihanga’s care! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve raised $1000 of our $1800 goal! We’re so grateful for every single donation.

For those who might be seeing Pihanga’s story for the first time, she’s a 10 year old community cat who has lived a bit rough but now is fully embracing her new life in foster care. She needed two teeth removed, which is a costly but common procedure for adult cats. She is now recovered and healthy! So if you're looking for an affectionate, easy-going companion without the 20-year commitment, she might just be your perfect match.

We’re still working to meet our goal, so if you haven’t had a chance to contribute, it’s not too late! Every little bit truly makes a difference and helps us continue supporting other cats in need, especially with kitten season stretching our resources.

Volunteers needed for the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge!

We need 4x more volunteers to marshal during the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge on Saturday, 30th November! This is a one-time commitment of just 4 hours, with shifts available:

⏰ 8:30am - 12:30pm
⏰ 12:30pm - 4:30pm

Locations: Omori to Waihi Hill Road

If we meet our volunteer goal, Animal Care Turangi will receive a sizeable donation! This is a fantastic opportunity to make a big difference without committing to ongoing shifts. Every hour volunteered helps us continue our work for the animals in our community.

Interested? Drop us a message, or call/text 027 505 5914 to get involved!

Update: Our little sweetheart is taking her time to bounce back to 100% after her spay. She’s feeling a little under the weather, so we’re giving her some extra TLC to make sure she’s in perfect health before she goes to her forever home.

Thank you for your patience as we prioritize her care!

----

Our sweet, chatty Frankie has been living the good life in foster care recovering from her hard start to life.

A word about Frankie from her foster parents:

"Frankie truly is one of those special kittens that just have a way of capturing your whole heart. We named her after Aretha Franklin because she has some pipes on her, so be prepared to be sung to! If she is near you she's purring. She is such a happy little thing, always down for a cuddle and lots of belly rubs! She is a very confident, curious kitten who would do well in just about any home. She is mostly unfazed by dogs - as long as introduced properly - and would make a lovely, energetic friend for children."

Let us know if Frankie would be the perfect addition to your home!

Her adoption fee is $160, which includes desexing, microchipping, vaccinating, vet check, and regular worm and flea meds.

Please help us cover Pihanga’s care!

We recently took in Pihanga, a 10 year old stray who seems to have been living it rough for a few years. This lovely girl was being fed by a kind gentleman in the community, but due to changes in circumstances, she found herself in need of a new home. We don't believe she is any less worthy of love and care just because she has a few years behind her!

Unfortunately, Pihanga needed dental surgery to remove two very painful teeth, a common procedure for adult cats. She is otherwise a healthy and happy kitty with so much life left to live. Since coming into foster care, Pihanga has opened up beautifully, showing her playful side with nightly zoomies and cozying up on the couch with her foster parents (she is an excellent foot warmer!).

The vet bill will be around $1500, and with kitten season upon us, our budget is stretched thin. We need your help to cover her vet expenses. Even a small donation can make a significant impact on her care and support our ongoing work in the community.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we hope you can help!

Once again a super shout out to Nature's Flame for the pallet load of pellets we use for our kitty litter. It is so hygienic and clean for our volunteers and a huge cost savings to our operating costs. So appreciated to have this amasing sponsor for the past 10 years! Also to Mainfreight Nick and Cj for delivering free of charge to our rescue. You all Rock! We are constantly fundraising and helping our community so to have these local businesses support our rescue means the world. Thank you! ❤️

Selene is a shy kitten at first but warms up quickly. Once she's comfortable, she’ll take her place as the queen of the house. The way to Selene's heart is through feather toys and Dine Creamy Treats! She loves to play and will show her affectionate side through playtime. If you offer her patience and a loving home, Selene will make a wonderful and playful companion. Come meet her and see if she’s the perfect fit for your family!

She is vet checked, fully vaccinated, de-sexed, microchipped, regularly wormed and flead. Her microchip will be registered on the NZCAR.

Our gorgeous girl Bella is seeking her forever home! She has opened up so much in the past couple of weeks, and is such a sweet girl just looking for all of the love and cuddles!

She came to us because her owner passed and the family couldn't keep her. She is 5 years old, in good health, up to date on vaccines, and flea&worm meds, microchipped, and desexed.
