? Starting 25th January, SPCA is offering walk-in cat adoptions on Saturdays to help our feline friends find their forever homes. No appointment needed – just pop into the Centre every Saturday during opening hours until 15th March and meet your new furry companion.
*To speed things up for you on adoption day, apply online via any of the cat profiles for your local centre on www.spca.nz... so we have all your details ready to go. Dog, small animal and farm animal adoptions are still by appointment as not all are in the centre.

Hi
I have a friend who has a piano to be removed & disposed off. He is hoping that whoever takes it, is because they wish for a free piano. ie he is hoping he doesn't have to pay for its disposal. He is happy for people to view it. Please contact me.
