? Walk-in Caturdays are here!

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

? Our SPCA Centers are overflowing with cats and kittens ready to find love, and we're on a mission to get them into caring homes this summer.

? Starting 25th January, SPCA is offering walk-in cat adoptions on Saturdays to help our feline friends find their forever homes. No appointment needed – just pop into the Centre every Saturday during opening hours until 15th March and meet your new furry companion.

*To speed things up for you on adoption day, apply online via any of the cat profiles for your local centre on www.spca.nz... so we have all your details ready to go. Dog, small animal and farm animal adoptions are still by appointment as not all are in the centre.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
