Desexing your pets

Flo from Khandallah

Hi Neighbours
It's kitten season and with warmer weather lasting longer, its probably kitten season all year. To combat unwanted kittens, please consider having your pet desexed.
There are many organisations that will help financially with this.

Here's a link to one

Desex your cat

Desexing your cat is the right thing to do.

Making sure that cats can't reproduce helps keep down the number of unwanted cats in Wellington.

Many unwanted cats are dumped and end up as strays, leading dangerous and unhealthy lives.

We know the cost of desexing stops many owners from getting their cats fixed. That’s why we help pay for some desexing operations.

With the support of our amazing vets in the Wellington area, we can offer desexing at $30 for males and $50 for females to owners who are eligible.

Eligibility

If you have a Community Services Card or Student ID and live in the Wellington area, you may be eligible for this offer.

If you don’t meet our criteria but cannot afford to get your cat desexed at normal vet rates, email us: desexing@catsprotectionwellington.org.nz.

The fee is paid directly to the vet when you take the cat in for surgery.

If a female cat is found to be pregnant at less than 6 weeks, you will need to pay another $20 to cover the extra cost of the operation.

Apply to desex your cat

The shelter is at 29 Vancouver Street, Kingston, Wellington.

Open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday:

12pm – 3pm: Appointments for adoptions only

3pm – 4pm: No appointment needed, but no adoptions at this time.

and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
