Animal rescue charities or registered non profit organizations

Samm from Rotorua Central

Does any have any experience, know of anyone or has anyone ever had any interest in registering as a not for profit to help animals?

I have not been able to find any registered not for profit locally.

We have 1 small rescue locally run by a girl who is doing her very best but there is only so much one person can do, as you can imagine she is always full and at capacity funding majority from her own pocket and not registered which is always a requirement to try to apply for funding offered in wider nz.

I am almost positive everyone here has probably experienced problems with stray cats here in Rotorua, and absolutely nothing is in place here to help them (or people who are affected) or help control or stop the issue from continuing and growing.

A discussion that needs to happen and really needs solutions, I know we all have different opinions and thats okay, let's share them, throw ideas about, educate.

A conversation inspired by the helpless cats in Fairy Springs area.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
