Westport Centre
Making a difference in Westport
Volunteer with usThe SPCA Centre in Westport (previously SPCA Buller) has a tight-knit team who work mainly with cats and kittens.
Dogs and puppies tend to go to Greymouth or other SPCA Centres to be cared for, and we conduct most of our animal adoptions from there.
We also have boarding facilities that can take up to 15 cats at a time, and a wonderful op shop on the main street.
Specific enquiries
All cruelty reports should be made by phone: 03 789 7520
If you have a welfare complaint about a companion animal, please call our team on 03 789 7520. Our team will be on call during our centre opening hours – please see above. If you have an animal emergency outside of these hours, please contact Buller Vets on 03 789 7934.
If your animal welfare complaint is regarding livestock or paddock animals, these will be handled by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) from Monday 20 February. Please call them directly on 0800 00 83 33. Read more about this new model for handling complaints here.
For any problems with stray, found or lost dogs, please contact the local council. Please contact the local police for any instances where an animal or person/s welfare is at immediate risk.
Do not email or Facebook us to report emergencies.
