🐾 Hi, I'm Hades! 🐾

My mum, Mrs Meeanee, my siblings, and I have had a bit of a rough start in life. Thankfully, the amazing team at SPCA took us in, gave us all the care we needed, and now I'm ready to find my fur-ever home! ❤️

I was born with a condition called entropion, which affected my eyelids. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Vet Services Napier , I've already had surgery to help correct it.

I didn't like that thing they call E-collar - but it was for the best, they kept telling me.
I may need another operation when I'm fully grown, but for now I'm doing great!

I'm a friendly, affectionate boy looking for a family to call my own. If you're searching for a loyal companion who will fill your home with love, I could be the perfect match.

🏡 Could you be my forever family?

To find out more about me, visit the SPCA Napier website or call 06 835 7758.

Paige was in absolute shock this morning when the Napier SPCA Team phoned to say they had her cat in care. Why? Because Mr Marko has been missing for 4 years!
"A real credit to the power of microchipping, I was shaking and in disbelief after receiving your call!" - its great that Paige kept her chip details updated on NZCAR so our team could contact her immediatley.
We are looking forward to hearing about how Marko settles back into his home after such a long time and wish Paige and her whanau the best of luck! 🐾

This is Marie.

Marie volunteers her time here at Napier SPCA each week helping to clean and care for our felines.... but thats not all she does!

Marie also volunteers at half a dozen other places in our community, never asking for anything in return. There is one way we can thank Marie though.

She has been nominated and is a well deserved finalist in the Volunterring HB Excellence Awards. Congratulations Marie!

Please join us in extending our heartfelt thanks and vote for Marie Howard by following the link below.

Got a little extra land? Perhaps you live on a farm or a lifestyle block, or know someone who does? SPCA needs foster homes for farm animals! 🐎🐏

We can't emphasise enough just how important our foster homes are 🙏 Whether the animals need space to grow and gain strength, or recover from neglect or mistreatment, having a safe foster home is a key part in their journey to adoption.

Anita is one of our treasured farm fosterers.

"I love animals, and we have plenty of space since moving to a lifestyle block in South Auckland," Anita says. "When I realised we could help out by fostering, I decided to sign up.

"At this stage we had four alpaca of our own. I fostered Cosworth the alpaca, and he needed meds to help him with some of his ailments. It was so lovely to see his health improve.

"I totally recommend fostering. The SPCA team are there to support you if you have any questions or concerns, and they check in regularly." 🩵

Sign up to foster via our site: www.spca.nz/fosterwinter2026

It’s not just dogs and cats that need foster homes – but farm animals too! 🐐🐖🐎

Animals like goats, horses, pigs, and chickens often have the have the hardest time finding foster homes, as it requires a loving fosterer with the knowledge and the space to care for them while they wait for their forever homes 🩵

Christiane is one of our much-appreciated farm fosters, who was inspired by her love of animals to get involved.

"I enjoy meeting the new animals and gaining their trust, offering them a warm, safe environment and then meeting the lovely new family once they've been adopted," she says. "My most memorable fosters would be Maple, the three-legged goat - and 'Stinky Pete', the big gentle giant!"

Christiane's message to anyone considering fostering? "Give it a go! Fostering frees up space at SPCA so they can help more animals. There is no financial cost to you and it's extremely rewarding." 🙏

Got the space and the heart to open your home to a vulnerable animal? Sign up today! www.spca.nz/fosterwinter2026

With thousands of animals coming into our care in the lead up to winter, we need more foster homes! 🙏

Fostering is perfect for those who want to make a difference for vulnerable animals, but can’t make the long-term commitment of adopting. When you foster, everything you need is provided by SPCA, so there’s no cost to you.

Some animals need to spend time in foster to recover from injuries or surgery, while others may just need time to come out of their shells, socialise, or experience a loving home for the first time ❤️

In order to meet demand and ensure we can free up space for more incoming animals in our Centres, we need an additional 250 foster homes for dogs and puppies, as well as small and farm animals too.

If you can provide a short-term loving home to an animal in need this winter, learn more and sign up via our website: www.spca.nz/fosterwinter2026

Hi 👋 it’s me, OREO!

Today I got to go on a BIG ADVENTURE to Park Island! 🌲🐶

I sniffed other fur friend’s bottoms 🙈, watched a strange bird (apparently called a fantail) follow us 🐦‍⬛ and accepted lots of pats from friendly humans 🫶

I practiced my sitting and recall, which earnt me lots of treats.
My favorite part was having zoomies on the grass in the sun. As you can see I was a pretty happy girl ❤️

Now I’m back at the centre, tired out, dreaming of my future family and all the adventures we could have together 🏡🐾

We’re incredibly grateful to Vuw-nzsl, Ko Taku Reo and Deaf Aotearoa for their generous guidance and support.
