We are New Zealand’s oldest and largest animal welfare charity, with 28 centres and 6 vet partnerships across the country and over 33,000 animals coming through our centres each year.

SPCA is the only charity with the power to protect all animals including prosecuting people under the Animal Welfare Act 1999. We need $65m to operate and we receive an 10% contribution from the government each year, which is earmarked for the Inspectorate. 

With 90% of our funding needed to be donated each year, it is only with the support of animal lovers across New Zealand that SPCA has been able to be here for 150 years, and can continue to be here into the future.

Our organisation’s founding ethos is ‘to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves’. With your support, we deliver this every day through our vision, values and policies.
