We need your help !!
To curb the influx of unwanted puppies and kittens at shelters, PAWS offers free dog desexing for the first 10 people with a Community Service Card who contact our Facebook page.
Cat desexing is available for $30, and adult cats are currently 50% off at $50 each.
We have around 40 cats and kittens in need of homes, all desexed and vaccinated.
If you would like to help:
1. Adopt a cat or kitten
2. Donate decent quality clothes, household goods and especially furniture to our Kensington St, Putaruru shop, opposite the Police Station (Tue, Thur and Friday 10am - 2pm)
3. Donate cat and kitten food
4. Donate money (message the Kittens at PAWS page for how to do this), or donate cash at one of the shops
Thank you so much for any help you can provide
