SPCA Palmerston North Centre – Key Information

The Centre has recently undergone a makeover to improve conditions for animals:

• An open‑cattery provides a stress‑reduced environment for cats.
• Upgraded dog exercise runs that allow dogs to roam and play during the day.
• On-site pet store stocking food, toys, bowls, and supplies.
• A full team of Veterinary Nurses available to advise on pet care and health

Adoptions & Rehoming

The Palmerston North Centre rehomes hundreds of animals each year across cats, dogs, small animals, and farm animals. Adoption requires appointments—walk‑in visits without scheduling are generally not accepted.

Volunteering & Foster Care

SPCA PN offers a variety of volunteer roles—from animal care (e.g. feline/small‑animal teams, foster carers) to administrative support or centre logistics. Foster carers are provided with food, bedding, equipment, and medical costs covered by SPCA.
