Love kittens and cats?
Our feline friends are in dire need of a helping paw this festive season. This wonderful local agency is in urgent need of volunteers to help with the large influx of cats taken in during this time of the year. Tasks include feeding, cleaning and tidying up, and even fostering. Once complete for the day you'll be welcome to stay and enjoy their company!
If you're an animal lover or just have a kind heart please don't hesitate to get in touch. This is also a great opportunity for younger people (12 years and over) to give back to the community during the summer break while looking after Lower Hutt's cutest furriest residents.
You can reach us on 04 566 6786 or by sending a message here, we are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. REF 5754 & 6362.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
