Making a difference in Oamaru
Volunteer with usSPCA’s Oamaru Centre will be closed for three weeks, reopening on June 8, as a result of staff shortages. For any animal emergencies or queries, please contact 03 434 8196.
Our Oamaru Centre is situated behind Vetlife in Oamaru. It is a small centre and currently we are only housing cats and occasionally have rabbits and birds.
However, we are getting a new building which will allow us to have a wider range of animals.
We have one full-time animal welfare inspector who attends animal welfare call-outs in the North Otago and South Canterbury areas.
