SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Spike
This week's Wellington SPCA Pet of the Day is a cat called Spike, who was adopted from the SPCA.
"Spike is going really well and has fully grown into his name. He’s a complete goon! He now spends his time running about the house, playing and snuggling with gusto. His favourite toy is his mouse from the SPCA. He charges around the house with it in his mouth so it’s always near. The best thing we’ve enjoyed though is how the relationship between our dog Sadie and him has developed. Spike loves being near her, and always snuggles up next to her when he’s tired out from playing (as you can see from the photos!) Sadie is pretty smitten with him too. We all are. Thanks again for everything, Julia, Dave, Sadie and Spike."
