No. LocalPetFinder is a discovery platform, not a rescue. We bring listings together in one place so you do not have to check each rescue's website separately. Applications, approvals and adoption decisions are handled entirely by the rescue.
No. LocalPetFinder is free. Adoption fees are set by the rescue and are paid to them directly, not to us.
That is up to the rescue. Some rehome only within their local area, others will consider adopters further afield. The rescue's own listing page states their policy — check it before applying.
No. LocalPetFinder is an independent site that lists the cats up for adoption at SPCA New Zealand's centres, so you can see them by city in one place. To adopt, you apply to the SPCA itself: open a cat's profile and use the Register to adopt button on the SPCA's own page. SPCA adoptions are by appointment, and the SPCA makes every adoption decision.
SPCA New Zealand charges the same fees at every centre: $299 for a kitten under five months, $149 for a cat aged five months to nine years, and $75 for a senior cat aged ten or older. Cats are desexed, microchipped and vaccinated before adoption, and the fee includes a $15 lifetime registration on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register. A $2.50 service charge is added, long-stay animals (adoptable for more than 42 days) are 30% off, and adopting more than one animal is 15% off.
