The Taupo SPCA is a volunteer run organisation that provides help to animals and people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We promote responsible pet ownership and aim to educate the Taupo public on animal welfare issues. Our volunteer inspector investigates and handles complaints of animal cruelty and neglect, and our Animal Centre provides a safe-haven for lost, abandoned, sick and injured cats and dogs.
The Animal Centre handles over 700 animals per year, and we endeavour to re-home as many cats, kittens, puppies, dogs and rabbits as possible. The SPCA is the one organisation that encompasses the needs of all animals.
Our organisation receives no government or local funding, and thus relies solely on memberships, donations from the public and business sponsorship. The membership year runs 01 April – 31 March and we aim to produce 4 newsletters per annum. The newsletters update our members on what’s happening in the Animal Centre and Branch news, upcoming events and other snippets of interest and humour.

HELPING ANIMALS IN YOUR WILL
The Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Incorporated is a registered, charitable organisation whose mission is to advance the welfare of all animals in New Zealand. Each local SPCA runs its own affairs and handles its own finances, overseen by a voluntary committee. Warranted inspectors investigate cruelty complaints and enforce the Animal Welfare Act. Staff and workers are unpaid. We do not receive any funding from the government and depend on our own fundraising, and on income from donations, legacies and bequests.
Your Will
If you want to accomplish some good beyond your lifetime for animals in distress, the best way to do this is to make financial provision in your will to continue the work of the SPCA. Leaving something to the SPCA in your will is a way of being
remembered for your humanity, and it’s a way of helping us – and helping animals – for many years after your death.
To leave money or property to the Taupo SPCA,
You need to contact your solicitor, trust company or executor(s) and put in writing to them that you wish to bequest money or property to the TAUPO SPCA (it is important to state the ‘Taupo’ branch). You need to state (in words) the exact amount of money or a detailed description of the property you wish to leave to the branch. Your solicitor, trust company or executor(s) would then confirm back to you the amendment to your will.
An example of wording to appear in your will;
‘I give free of all duties to the Taupo branch of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Incorporated, for the general purposes of the Branch: (the amount of, or description of property) and I declare that the receipt of the Secretary or other proper officer, shall be full and sufficient discharge to my trustee for this legacy, nor shall my trustee be bound to see to its application.
