We are excited to announce our desexing campaign Snip ‘n’ Chip is back, this time in Hawera and Eltham!

From 25 September 2019, we are offering heavily discounted desexing and microchipping in Hawera and Eltham.

For ten weeks, cat-owners can Snip ‘n’ Chip their cats or kittens for just $10.

Bookings are limited, so cat owners should visit your closest participating vet clinic to purchase your Snip ‘n’ Chip voucher and avoid disappointment.

These vets are:

• Taranaki Vet Centre - Hawera Clinic
• Eltham Veterinary Services
• Taranaki Veterinary Centre - Stratford

SPCA has worked hard in recent years to address the problem of too many cats being born unwanted and not living a good quality of life.

Our desexing campaign in Hawera and Eltham aims to reach out to those who cannot afford the desexing operation or may not normally consider having their cat desexed to use this opportunity.

It also provides the opportunity for cat owners who do not currently have a local vet to get to know one.

Cat owners have responded extremely well to our other free campaigns across New Zealand.

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 problems such as cancer.

We believe desexing and microchipping is one of the key ways to improve animal welfare in New Zealand, and would like to thankour participating vets in advance for their help with this campaign.
