SPCA Canterbury

Welcome to SPCA Canterbury

Located at Wilmers Road in Hornby, our Animal Centre (open Mon-Sat, 10am to 4pm - please click here for our operating hours over the holiday season), is dedicated to looking after the welfare of animals throughout Canterbury. We rely on donations and bequests to operate as we receive no Government funding. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you to our Centre soon!

Pet of the Week - "Holly" needs your help

Holly is a sweet beautiful girl who is very laid back and cuddly. Holly was found abandoned so is now looking for a forever home. Please click here for more info.

Kitten & Cat Overload

Please note we now have lots of kittens and cats available for adoption. Our centre is full and we desperately need your help to find homes for all these gorgeous animals! Kitten season usually runs from November to March and we have hundreds of kittens, and Mum's, to rehome during this time. We appreciate your support - so please bypass your local pet store and help give one of our animals a new forever home.

ASSISTANCE ALERT: We need your help to take care of the kittens throughout Canterbury during this very busy time. We kindly ask for donations of kitten food (tinned or packet) and blankets. Please bring these to our Animal Centre on Wilmers Road in Hornby. Thank you!

Adoption Special

As our gift to you - anyone who adopts one of our gorgeous dogs, puppies, cats or kittens during the months of December and January, will go in the draw to win a Hill's Science Diet gift pack. This includes a whole bunch of dog or cat related goodies. Please ask our staff for details upon arrival!

Towel shortage - donations needed!

Here at SPCA Canterbury we use thousands of towels per year to help us care for the many animals who pass through our Centre. We are desperately short of towels at the moment so if you have some old towels sitting in your linen cupboard, please consider donating them to our Animal Centre in Hornby. You are welcome to drop these in at any time between 10am - 4pm, Mon - Sat. We really appreciate your support!

Twinings Earl Grey Taste Off

Throughout November, Twinings will be introducing four new Earl Grey blends and are asking the country to vote for their favourite. Once the blend is confirmed Twinings will package and sell this as "New Zealand Earl Grey". A percentage of all sales will be donated to New Zealand's favourite charity so we encourage you to go online and vote for SPCA! Visit www.earlgrey.co.nz to find out more!

SPCA Earthquake Fund

Hundreds of people and their animals are affected and displaced by the earthquake. It is with this in mind, that SPCA Canterbury has set up the PET EMERGENCY EARTHQUAKE FUND to help people and animals in distress during these uncertain times.

All donations from the PET EMERGENCY EARTHQUAKE FUND go towards the additional costs and services needed to support the health, welfare and care of the large numbers of affected animals in Canterbury.

What else can you do?
HELP SPCA Canterbury by adopting animals from your local SPCA animal centres. This will free up space as the SPCA Canterbury Animal Centre becomes overcrowded with animals available for adoption and needs to move them to other centres for rehoming.
