Spca
URGENT!
Animals need you! We currently have 921 animals looking for a home across the country. During these unsettling times we want to ensure adoptions don’t slow down and we can find our animals in need the loving families they deserve.
From tomorrow, we are reducing adoption fees for all animals across the country:
• Puppies and kittens have a $99 adoption fee,
• Adult dogs and cats have a $50 adoption fee,
• Small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits have a $25 adoption fee
• Adoption fees for other animals are available on request.
Adopting an animal will allow centres to continue to provide excellent care and comfort for animals in need, while helping SPCA during this uncertain time. With families likely to be spending lots of time at home, now is an ideal time to adopt.
We are taking all the necessary cleaning and hygiene protocols across all our Centres. Centres will be practicing social distancing, which may mean visitors could be asked to wait in their vehicles before being welcomed into their local centre – please do only visit our centre if you are looking at adopting an animal.
Please SPREAD THE WORD!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
