Nelson Centre
Making a difference in Nelson
Volunteer with usSPCA's Nelson Centre was first established in 1896. We are lucky enough to be situated on 10 acres of land close to Nelson city, and our facilities are testament to the incredible support we receive from our community. We have ten members of staff here, with various areas of interest and expertise. We also have two warranted Animal Welfare Inspectors who cover a vast area between Marlborough, Golden Bay, Springs Junction and the West Coast.
The Nelson Centre has a large group of dedicated volunteers who do a range of jobs: cleaning (of course!), dog walking and training, cat care, paperwork, gardening, fostering, fund-raising and whatever else we ask of them! We are extremely lucky to have such a great team of volunteers and supporters.
Did you know we care for around 900 animals each year (mostly cats and kittens)?
We also have a small retail shop at the Centre which sells pet care, training and food products.
Specific enquiries
Thank you for looking to desex your pet.
Making desexing accessible to everyone is important to us. Scientific research has proven that a desexed animal lives a happier and healthier life. They are less likely to get into fights, can be more affectionate and friendly, and have a reduced risk of health issues such as cancer. We believe desexing and microchipping is one of the key ways to improve animal welfare.
We run Snip ‘n’ Chip campaigns for cats across the country at different times of the year. To check if vouchers are available in your area visit https://book.spcadesexing.nz/
For more information on desexing, please visit www.spcadesexing.nz or email snipnchip@spca.nz
Alternatively, please contact your local SPCA Centre for local assistance and advice.
