⚠️ 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

🎉🐾✨ A Heartfelt Thank You to our Incredible Community! ✨🐾🎉

We're utterly blown away by the generosity and support we've received from all! Your donations of bedding and towels have been overwhelming in the best possible way. Thanks to your kindness, our furry friends have been surrounded by warmth and comfort.

At this time, our storage space is bursting at the seams with the love you've showered upon us. We're deeply grateful for your outpouring of donations. However, due to limited storage capacity, we've reached a point where we're unable to accommodate any further bedding, towels, or shredded paper donations.

But fret not! Your willingness to help warms our hearts, and we'll definitely be in need again in the future. Please keep a close eye on our page for specific call-outs when we require more bedding, towels, or other items. Your ongoing support means the world to us and the animals in our care.

Once again, a massive thank you from all of us at the Nelson SPCA for your incredible generosity and unwavering support. Your compassion truly makes a difference in the lives of our furry companions. 🐶🐱💖

🦆 Calling all animal lovers! - Foster Parents Needed! 🦆

It’s that time of year again - our Nelson SPCA Centre is starting to see an influx of tiny ducklings needing a safe place to grow until they’re ready for release. 💛

We’re looking for foster parents who can open their homes (and hearts!) to care for these little ones.

If you have a warm, safe space and a little extra time to help raise these feathered babies, we’d love to hear from you!

📩 Email us at: [email protected] to find out more!

Let’s give these ducklings the best start to life! 🌿

📣 New Zealand – we need you to join us by making a submission against cruel farrowing crates! 📣 The Government has only given you until 23 October to raise your voice!

As you might have seen in the news, the Government has announced its appalling plan to change the Animal Welfare Act to allow the use of horrific farrowing crates indefinitely – even though they were due to be banned on 18 December 🚫

In their efforts to let this happen quietly, they opened public consultation last week, giving you just TWO WEEKS to make a stand by writing a submission.

They’re hoping we won’t have enough time to raise our voices. Let’s show them how wrong they are.

We’ve put together some instructions and wording for you to use in your submission, so it will only take you a few minutes. Please stand up for pigs now via our site: https://www.spca.nz/advocacy/farrowing-crates-submission

👉 What to do if an unknown dog approaches
👉 Understanding a dog’s body language
