Auckland bakers are being called to roll up their sleeves to help vulnerable animals.

The SPCA is appealing for keen cooks to take part in its annual Cupcake Day fundraiser on November 2.

The event has raised nearly $3.2 million over the years, helping tens of thousands of animals that come through SPCA's doors each year in need of care, shelter and veterinary treatment.

Budding chefs are invited to whip up a batch of cupcakes before selling them at work, school and to family and friends.

Last year saw 1092 home bakers and 641 businesses get involved.

SPCA CEO Andrea Midgen said recent events had taken a big bite out of the charity but here was something tangible supporters could do to help.

Funds raised will be used to aid in rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing animals in need around the country.

Hi

My partner and I are looking to buy a 2-3 bedroom house anywhere in inner Auckland (ideally Arch Hill, Pt Chev, Kingsland, Sandringham, Mt Eden or surrounds). If any one is thinking of selling soon or knows someone who might be, and would like to avoid the 3-5% real estate agency fees or having to clean up their property for open homes - let us know. We have been looking for a while now and have a realistic understanding of how high house prices are at the moment. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks very much
