Be the Light for vulnerable animals this Holiday Season ✨
This Christmas, while many are enjoying some time away, we're looking for special people who are staying home and can open their homes to a foster animal or two. Spread some holiday cheer and get some cuddles in return!
Before the end of December, SPCA is expecting to take over 3000 vulnerable cats and kittens into care. Many of these will need time in a foster home to heal, learn and grow.
Please, if you are staying home during the holidays sign up to become a foster parent. Your support is invaluable!
We cover all expenses and provide training. All you need to give is your love and time. Make a Difference this Season!
Open your heart and home to a kitten. If you're not quite ready yet, please get in touch. Every bit helps spread warmth and love this holiday season. Sign up today!
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

🚒 Our Fire and Emergency crews have been kept busy lately
And they’re once again reminding everyone: please don’t light fires when it’s windy.
Central Otago will move into a restricted fire season from 1 December 2025, which means anyone planning an outdoor fire will need to apply for a permit and plan ahead.
So we’d love to ask you — how do you make sure you’re being fire-safe at this time of year?
A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
