In natural disasters, emergency responses involving displaced animals are coordinated by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). Please contact MPI for emergency response support on: 0800 222 200

SPCA

SPCA will be supporting requests on a case-by-case basis and do everything we can to provide appropriate advice and assistance.

SPCA advise that if you are able to safely, make arrangements to stay with friends or family outside of your area or identify other animal friendly accommodation (e.g. pet friendly hotels, campgrounds, AirBnB) where you might stay.

Their inspectors will be responding to urgent welfare concerns in Auckland only during this time.

In the event our SPCA phone lines are down due to power outage, you are able to email info@spca.nz.

Lost Pet? Found Pet?

If you have lost or found a pet post the details on www.lostpet.co.nz, the New Zealand Companion Animal Register
0508 LOSTPET (0508 567873) or a local veterinarian.
